The Blue Mountains Day Trip with Hike was absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Larry, made the experience memorable with his insightful guidance during the hike. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed stunning views from the mountains. It was a great way to explore the natural beauty of the area, and everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend it!

Our Sydney Harbour Afternoon Sailing was magnificent. It was just the two of us with the captain, Dave, who was fantastic. We had perfect winds, and Dave let me sail a bit, which was a highlight. The boat ride took us all the way to the harbor entrance and provided great insights into local neighborhoods. The day was beautifully complemented by a tremendous lunch on board. Highly recommend this experience!

The Highlights of Sydney Guided Walk was really fun, and our guide Steven was excellent. We got to see a lot of the city, but there was a bit of confusion about visiting the opera house. While we got a great tour of Sydney, the opera house was only pointed out and not toured as part of this activity. We ended up visiting it on our own afterwards. Make sure to clarify this if you plan to visit the opera house.

Peninsula Boutique Hotel

Small boutique hotel. Comfortable room which included a fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. Quiet location with views of the beach. Nice breakfast in the morning. During our visit, the restaurant was undergoing a change in management so they were only serving the included breakfast but there are lots of places to eat out or you can buy food at the supermarket.

The first stop was at a wildlife park where we were able enter before the official opening. Got to spend time up close to the koalas, petthem and get a picture. Lots of kangaroos hopping about. Caught a glimse of a Tasmanian devil in its enclosure. Passed by the Sea Cliff Bridge and then stopped by Bulli Beach for a very filling lunch. There was an opportunity to go for a quick swim in the ocean if you wanted to. After lunch we headed inland to the mountains to the Yarunga Gorge for a short hike to Fitzroy Falls Lookoff. The final stop of the day was a wine tasting with a flight of 5 different wines as well as breads, cheeeses and finger food. Then a long drive back to Sydney

Enjoyed the 2 hour sail to and from the reef. Those who took part in the snorkling at the reef saw lots of coral and sea creatures. All the swimmers were provided with wetsuits to protect against possible jelly fish stings. Spent a couple of hours or more at the reef and had a ride in a tender to a small sand spit.

The bus takes you to a plateau overlooking the plain below with a view of the Field of Lights with Uluru in the background. We were servered canapes and finger food with choice of beer or wine. As the sun set, the led lights began to glow. When darkness fell, we followed the lighted path to walk among the sea lights. The seating was on a narrow bench so we had to balance our food and drink on our laps. Would be better to have a picnic table to sit around. There is a more expensive version of this tour that features a more extensive choice of foods and drink but I don't think it's worth the extra cost. Read mixed reviews of the meal experience. It was very windy on the night we went so hang onto your hats. Even my backpack wad blown away.

Unfortunately, the company that was supposed to pick us up that morning failed to show up because they made an error in the date. However, it was probably for the better as the area was hit by torrential rains and strong winds. We learned later that the cable car ride and train ride were cancelled that day because of the inclement weather. After a quick Whatsapp message to Vicky, everything was sorted and a refund was issued.

Thank you so much for your kind review —

It was a pleasure planning your itinerary, and I’m so glad you enjoyed your trip overall. Uluru can be a tricky one to gauge, as it’s an experience people connect with very differently — some find it incredibly powerful, while others feel it’s more commercial than expected.

Thank you again for trusting me with your travels — it truly means a lot.
Warm regards,
Vicky
