Hi, I'm Caroline, founder of a tour operator and a Sydney local with a lifelong passion for travel, nature and creating memorable experiences for visitors. I've worked in tourism for many years, including with Tourism Australia, where I helped educate travel professionals from around the world about Australia and what makes our country so special. Today, I love being on the other side of that experience, personally introducing visitors to Sydney and the incredible natural areas that surround it. My tours are private, relaxed and tailored to you. I'm not interested in rushing you from one photo stop to the next or delivering a rehearsed script. I want you to experience the places we visit, understand their stories and have plenty of time to ask questions, explore and enjoy the day. Nature and wildlife are a huge part of my life. I'm a qualified sustainable tourism professional, an accredited NSW National Parks EcoPass guide and an active conservation volunteer. I'm particularly passionate about our oceans, native wildlife and helping visitors understand how special Australia's natural environment really is. I'm based on Sydney's Northern Beaches, so I especially enjoy showing guests the beautiful coastal and national park areas that many visitors never discover. I also regularly guide in the Blue Mountains, Sydney and other beautiful regions surrounding the city. Food is part of the experience too. I love introducing guests to great Australian produce, local cafés and restaurants, native ingredients and boutique wines. Depending on your tour, we might enjoy a relaxed picnic surrounded by nature, a wonderful local restaurant or an Aboriginal led experience learning about native foods and culture. Most importantly, I want the day to feel like your day. If you want to walk further, we'll walk further. If you'd rather slow down, enjoy the scenery and have a long lunch, that's absolutely fine too. I'm happy to adapt the itinerary around your interests, mobility and energy on the day. My aim is simple. By the time I drop you back at your hotel, I want you to feel that you've experienced much more than the usual tourist version of Sydney and that you've spent the day exploring with a knowledgeable local who genuinely loves sharing this part of Australia. I look forward to welcoming you to Sydney!

View Australia’s gorgeous native animals at a beautiful sanctuary. The animals are cared for and many are able to roam the 80 acres of land in a natural Australian bush habitat. Here you will visit and learn about Koalas, Kangaroos, Wallabies, Emus, Wombats and more. We will then head to arguably the best beaches and coastline of Sydney, the Northern Beaches. We will tailor your tour to gentle sight seeing, beach walks or even a swim if you wish. The views are endless and we often spot pods of dolphins and between May and October, it becomes the Humpback Whale highway. This tour has been such a hit with our customised tour customers, that I have now made it a published bookable tour. Please reach out if you need amend timings etc.
