Why Should You Give a Flying Fox about this tour? - Fun experience to see a colony of flying foxes. You get to seen them very close and the guide also provided binoculars and camera as well as providing photos taken with a telephoto lens. Great trip that is close to Sydney and well worth seeing.

Great tour and great guide - The tour was really great! We saw so many flying foxes, it was very impressive. Dave made a real effort and truly lives for animals. You can immediately tell that he genuinely enjoys it. Snacks and drinks were available on the bus, and Dave even brought binoculars and cameras for us. It couldn’t have been better! My friends and I had a lot of fun and would recommend the tour to anyone.

Interesting and high quality experience - The bat tour was really successful. We saw the bats really close and got some good photos. In addition to the bats, we also saw some interesting birds. Dave was an excellent guide and had a lot of humor. All the arrangements worked well. It's nice that Dave brings Australian snacks with him on the tour and also has Wi-Fi in the car. Definitely a tour worth experiencing and excellent value for money. I recommend it!

Must do adventure - After doing the wombat tour we were really excited to do another trip. Dave is super friendly, knowledgable and has a passion for wildlife which made the tour even more enjoyable. He provided binoculars, professional cameras for us to take our own pictures and sent us lots of incredible photos of the flying foxes after the tour too which made it really special.

Great wildlife, great guide - This was our second outing with Dave and it was just as great as our first (Wombat and Kangaroo tour). Dave is a great guide - passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife and also takes fantastic photos (of the animals and his guests)! Cannot recommend this and his other tours enough!

Excellent trip with Dave - Dave is a great guide, and this was my second trip with him. We went to a wonderful spot to view the bats and I took lots of great photos! The nesting ibises were also a nice bonus. :)
