Kangaroo encounter on Sydney bushland tour

​​Sam
A fellow bushland local who speaks fluent marsupial; kangaroos treat her like the weird cousin. She’s on a first-name basis with the locals. Learn more about Sam

Smiling woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat and plaid shirt outdoors, with trees and soft sunlight in the background. Mood is cheerful and relaxed.

G’day, I’m Matt — I don’t do boring tours. I’m usually the one guiding you, but I’m not a one-man show. Sam and I both live and breathe Sydney’s bushland, and between us you’ll see more Aussie wildlife than you can poke a stick at.
 

If you want cookie-cutter sightseeing, look elsewhere. But if you’re up for kangaroos, koalas, secret beaches, and epic bushland, you’re in for something special.
 

No crowds. No rush. Just pure Aussie adventure.
 

Want more? Horse riding, quad biking, hidden rainforests, even overnight stays — we’ll make it happen.

Travelling solo? I've walked those paths before.
