Daniel was an amazing guide! He told us a lot about australian history and aboriginal tales from a unique perspective, you could really feel his love and passion for doing what he does! The kayak tour began after a quick hike up a small hill from which we had an amazing view over the hawkesbury river. The tour itself was really fun and not too exhausting. We never really kayaked before and everything went totally fine, so definitely fine for beginners. Along the way we also had some stops for food and drinks, of which especially daniel's delicious wraps made a lasting impression. I can highly recommend this tour for everyone who wants to experience something a little more adventurous and see places that you normally would never come to see!

Sheridan is an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide. We learned so much about the farming process, the local area, as well as her family's story. We were lucky to still be able to attend the tour after the recent floods but were able to get a better understanding of the realities of farming and the difficulties small businesses face. The oysters (harvested before the flood) were so fresh and flavourful, we have a new appreciation for how much time, effort and decision-making goes into producing one of our favourite foods. We highly recommend this incredible experience to everyone!

Come on a boat ride out to the oyster farm and meet our oyster farmers and let them teach you about this beautiful delicacy. Every adult will be given a dozen oysters each. If the river is open for harvest when you come you will get to eat a freshly opened oyster pulled straight out of the river in front of you.

Thank you for a lovely day, it was like being on holiday.

Scott was great. Very knowledgeable of Sydney and we went to places you will not find in large bus tours. He was accommodating to our request and made sure we were all (three couples with different interest) happy with the tour. He took great pictures that he sent to us and ended with a great drink at Sydney’s oldest tavern. He was on time and we never felt rushed and was flexible to make sure we saw the items on our most see list. If you are doing this tour you should request Scott!

I contacted Ben as I needed some way for my 77 year old mother to go from a quarantine hotel to the South Coast as she had to return from overseas alone. From the start he was friendly and open to the idea of this unusual "tour". My mother found him to be very cheerful, a good driver and tour guide, finding her a lovely restaurant with a view. It was the happy and hassle free way to return home. We would definitely contact Ben again.
