“The highlight of our entire trip to Australia.”
We spent weeks planning our trip, and this was the one day we kept talking about afterwards. Matt made everything feel effortless. We saw kangaroos up close, spent time with a koala, and visited places we never would have found on our own. It never felt rushed, and we always felt comfortable.
Susan & Mark, California
Most visitors come to Australia hoping to spot a kangaroo or cuddle a koala.
What they don’t expect is how personal, relaxed, and surprisingly moving a day in the Australian bush can feel.
Some days the bush is quiet and peaceful. Other days the wallabies decide to steal the show.

“Exactly what we were hoping for,
and more.”
We were looking for something private and relaxed, not a big group tour, and this was perfect. It was just us, no crowds, and Matt tailored the day to suit our pace.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable but also easygoing and fun to spend the day with. We saw so much wildlife in natural settings, and the scenery was stunning. It felt like being shown around by a local friend who knows all the hidden spots.

Meet Your Guide, Matt
I’ve spent decades exploring the Australian bush, photographing wildlife, and guiding visitors through some of the most beautiful parts of New South Wales.
Long before I became a tour guide, I was the kid disappearing into the wilderness for days at a time, sleeping in caves and learning the landscape by experience rather than maps.
These tours are personal to me. I genuinely love introducing travellers to the Australia I grew up exploring. Learn more about Matt

“We almost didn’t book… and that would have been a mistake.”
There are so many tour options in Sydney, and we weren’t sure which one to choose. This turned out to be the best decision we made on our trip. Everything was taken care of, pickup was easy, and the whole day felt relaxed and personal. Matt clearly loves what he does, and it shows in every part of the experience.
