★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 10 hours · from $300Our pick

Travel 90 minutes from Sydney to the Southern Highlands with an English-speaking guide such as Emma. Search bushland for kangaroos, emus, parrots and platypus, then use red spotlights after dinner to find wombats, possums and sugar gliders. The eight-person limit keeps wildlife watching personal.

“This tour was amazing! We saw so many different animals: kangaroos, wallabies, emus, tons of bird species, possums, sugar gliders, as well as the elusive platypus! My guide Emma was incredible and taught us a bunch about the animals, and her knowledge of where animals tend to be was amazing. We were able to spot everything quite easily because of her, and I was able to get lots of pictures as a result. I would definitely recommend!!”
