Overview

This small-group wildlife tour focuses on one very specific Sydney experience: seeing thousands of Australia’s largest flying foxes up close. You’ll learn more about these endangered bats while watching them in the daytime, when they’re especially active. Cameras and binoculars are included, along with professional guide-taken photos, so you can spend less time worrying about gear and more time actually looking.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

It’s a bit different from the usual city sightseeing and gives you a wildlife experience without needing a full-day trip. The small-group setup keeps it more personal, and the included camera gear is handy if you don’t travel with fancy equipment. At $80, it’s not the cheapest option around, but for backpackers wanting something unusual and easy to organise, it’s a solid pick.

What to expect

Over roughly 2.5 hours, you’ll head out with a guide to observe a large colony of wild flying foxes. The experience is built around close-up viewing, with chances to watch them move through the trees, squabble, and fly nearby with their impressive wingspan on show. Along the way, your guide shares information about the species and their conservation. High-zoom cameras are supplied for your own shots, and guide photos are also included to take home.
