Overview
Ride Through The Australian Bush, Then Meet Koalas And Kangaroos. A relaxed private day combining horse riding, wildlife, hidden bushland, and the Australia most visitors never properly experience. Step into the Australian bush and experience the landscape the way locals have for generations. This is the original private Horse Riding, Koalas & Kangaroos experience, personally crafted through decades exploring Australia’s bushland, wildlife, and hidden backcountry trails. This private day combines scenic horse riding through beautiful natural surroundings with unforgettable wildlife encounters, including patting kangaroos and koalas in peaceful bush settings. Some moments feel adventurous. Others feel strangely calm. The smell of eucalyptus after rain, the sound of cockatoos overhead, horses moving quietly through the landscape, and wildlife appearing when you least expect it. It’s not rushed. It’s not crowded. It’s simply a memorable day outdoors in Australia. Beginning in Sydney, this private tour explores Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, the Lower Hawkesbury, scenic Glenworth Valley, and the beautiful beaches and coastline of the Central Coast.

Plan B
What if it rains? A little rain can actually make the Australian bush even more beautiful. The waterfalls flow harder, the colours deepen, and the wildlife often becomes more active. If the weather isn’t ideal, I’ll adjust the plan so you still have a great day. Safety is always a priority, and you’ll be guided every step of the way.
