Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Local Travel Planner, 30 Pitt St, Sydney, New South Wales 2000 Australia

The experience begins when a friendly guide greets you at the meeting point. You'll be part of a small group of no more than 11 travellers aboard a comfortable minibus that takes you south out of the city along the beaches of Botany Bay and through the Royal National Park. First stop is Bald Hill Lookout, a popular launch site for hang gliders and para gliders, which affords sweeping views of the Illawarra coastline and the famous Sea Cliff Bridge.

After the break it's just a few minutes drive to the family-run Symbio Wildlife Park which is active in koala conservation. Here you'll find out everything you ever wanted to know about these fascinating marsupials during a private koala experience with a keeper. Snap the ultimate selfie - just you and a koala. You’ll also be able to hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies and get up close to other native Australian wildlife.

Next you'll meander along the Grand Pacific Drive traversing the Sea Cliff Bridge as it sweeps out over the ocean, well clear of the crumbling cliffs to which the old highway clung. You’ll continue to follow the scenic coastline to a golden beach where you’ll enjoy lunch in a café popular with locals with views out over the ocean. Bring your swimmers for a dip if the sun is out!

In the afternoon you’ll head up through temperate rainforest into the Southern Highlands. An easy hike leads to viewpoints that take in the spectacular sandstone gorges and towering waterfalls of the Morton National Park.

Finally, you’ll drive along country roads to a boutique winery to sample locally-produced, cool climate wine before returning to Sydney. Arrival back at Circular Quay is around 6:30pm.

    An absolutely incredible tour! Other Steve was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Getting up close and personal with the koalas and the kangaroos was a once in a lifetime experience. Would definitely recommend!!

    The wildlife at Symbio was great, early entry assured we had a long time with the koala's and wallaby's and the facility was well kept, with a knowledgable staff. All the excursions aspects were well planned and great. Our driver (the other Steve) was a wealth of information with humorous comments. Loved it all.

    Our guide (the other Steve) was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and informative. We feel like we say a lot of the Australian attractions. Waterfalls, Wildlife, wine tasting, sea coast, and so much more! Definitely worth the trip.

    The host “other Steve “ was very informative and entertaining. Scenery was brilliant and the vineyard was beautiful. I’d say best part was the wildlife reserve. We arrived before it opened so we had the place to ourselves.

    This was the best tour by far I have been on. Steve was so informative but laid back. It was so nice to be on a small tour where it didn’t feel like you were being rushed the whole time. Lots of local insight. 10/10 would recommend
