It's a pleasure to connect with you through ToursByLocals. As a certified NSW National Parks EcoPass guide, I specialise in showcasing Sydney's natural beauty. From the Northern Beaches to the Blue Mountains, I offer tailored tours that immerse you in the landscapes and wildlife of our stunning region, whilst escaping the crowds from the bus tours. As a Sydney local I know the secret spots and lookouts that us locals like to keep secret, but I love to share them with our visitors. Beyond guiding, I work as a volunteer wildlife rescuer for WIRES, Australia's largest wildlife rescue organization. This allows me to share fascinating insights about our native animals and marine life during our tours. When I'm not on tour, I bring over a decade of experience in the travel and tourism industry, including a tenure at Tourism Australia. I also work as a sustainable tourism trainer, helping businesses and individuals adopt environmentally responsible practices. For your comfort and safety, I provide two vehicles: a luxury Toyota Landcruiser Prado and a VW Caravelle for larger groups, accommodating 1 to 8 guests on private tours. Looking forward to sharing the wonders of Sydney with you!

Overview of your Sydney tour

Discover Sydney’s wild side on this luxury private experience with exclusive access to a working wildlife sanctuary closed to the public. Enjoy a 2.5-hour guided tour with your own wildlife keeper and meet rescued kangaroos, wombats, dingoes, gliders, reptiles, and rare birds like the red-tailed black cockatoo and white kookaburra. Then, journey into a nearby National Park for scenic touring, gentle walks, and the chance to spot wild kangaroos or echidnas. Included in the day is a stop at a beloved local bakery for a gourmet Australian meat pie , with vegan and vegetarian options available. A rare, immersive experience combining nature, wildlife, and comfort.
