    Wild Kangaroos, Wines, Beautiful villages and Waterfalls

    We first went on a Sydney half day private tour with the Australian Adventure Company and loved it so much we booked again . This time we went to the Southern Highlands for an Australian Country side wine tour . What a fantastic day it was ! The small villages were so beautiful and had so much history to them . Bendooley Estate winery had delicious Riesling and Pinot Noir . The waterfall was incredible . And we finished the day on a private farm watching Kangaroos jump around in the wild !! We did not expect this for our trip . Wow . Do yourself a favour and don’t miss out on this on .

    Response from the operator: Hi Bradley, your kind words made our day! Thank you so much. Your group was an absolute joy to host and it was a privilege to share the Southern Highlands with you.

    Exciting Trip to the Beautiful Southern Highlands

    The Southern Highlands Tour was fantastic! From pick-up to drop-off, Sam looked after us so well. We tasted some incredible wines and learned about Australia’s fascinating history on the drive. The picnic on the farm at the end of the day was magical - especially watching the wild kangaroos hopping around. An incredible day from start to finish! Highly recommend Aus Adventure Co.

    An Exquisite Day!! Just The Best

    This was a flawlessly organised and executed tour. Thank you Sam and The Aus Adventure Co. for delivering such a fabulous experience for my friends and I. This tour exceeded my expectations 10-fold, maybe our very favourite day on our whole 15 day trip. The wineries we visited for exquisite, we especially loved lunch at Ashby Estate and learning the history of the country villages in the region. The wines were so delicious, the food was delicious, the views were delicious. The picnic in the paddocks blew us away, must have been at least 20 kangaroos within a stones throw away grazing the meadows as we enjoyed local cheese and wines. The day ended with a bushwalk to a very beautiful waterfalls which was the cherry on top. Thanks for a fantastic day Sam! We will never forget it, it was so lovely spending the day with you.

    Southern NSW Tour - A must do!

    We went on a full day Sydney tour with Sam and decided to book another tour and explore the southern NSW coastline and countryside. We are so glad we did, as I could image many visitors miss these spots, but this is where Australia’s true coastline really shines. We had such an amazing day. Sam was fantastic, making the whole experience so enjoyable. We got to pat koalas and feed kangaroos at Symbio Wildlife Park and saw so many other native animals in their natural habitats. The scenery was breathtaking, with mountains, cliffs, rainforest, countryside and the sparkling coastline. We visited two national parks, enjoyed a lovely seaside lunch, and finished the day with wine tasting at a beautiful vineyard. Our highlight was spotting wild kangaroos on the farm and having a nice Aussie beer. Incredible views, amazing wildlife, and Sam’s friendly guidance made this tour unforgettable. We had such a great time and would highly recommend it.

    Response from the operator: We had such a great day showing you guys through Southern NSW Kerri and Patrick! Thank you for taking the time to write such a glowing review, we are very grateful. I am so happy to hear that you both enjoyed your two days touring with us. So glad that the kangaroos were out and about for us on the farm. Best wishes Kerri and Patrick! Sam J

    Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.

    How much does Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife cost?

    +

    Prices start at $692 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.

    Is Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sydney?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Chef-Led Hunter Valley Gourmet Food and Wine Day Tour from Sydney, Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour (Small-Group, Drink Included). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sydney?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sydney?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Wine Tastings; Private transportation; and Private Guide. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Southern Highlands Luxury Day Trip from Sydney: Wine & Wildlife offered in?

    +
