I really enjoyed this experience. We chose the breakfast package and departed early in the morning. The weather wasn't too hot 🥵 so everything was very comfortable. Remember to take motion sickness medication half an hour before departure. During the trip, the captain will tell us approximately when whales can be seen, and in what direction (e.g., what o'clock). The whole experience was great! Although the weather was cloudy and not ideal, we still saw whales surfacing! We also passed by the Opera House during the trip, which was great for taking photos.

Given Sydney's high prices, I used just over HK$1000 to buy a seafood set for two and a steak set on Klook. It was great value for money, the seafood was very fresh, and the staff even gave us a bottle of champagne. Plus, with a drink, enjoying the seafood and steak at an outdoor cafe was very relaxing.

Chen absolutely deserves all the praise in the world – he truly was the most shining star of our trip! Seriously, Chen is hands down the BEST tourist/guide/friend/stranger-who-saves-the-day we have ever met! When we unfortunately lost our bag, we panicked and had no idea what to do. As a result, Chen immediately joined the search and rescue mission. With his meticulousness, calmness, and super sense of direction, he took us around every corner of Hunt Valley, and in the end, he actually helped us find the bag that almost ruined our entire vacation! At that moment, we were almost moved to tears. Without him, we might have spent several times the time and effort, or even not been able to find it at all. Not only that, Chen and Frank together arranged the perfect day for us. They took us to some of the most worthwhile places to visit in Hunt Valley, ate amazing local food, saw incredibly beautiful scenery, and shared many interesting stories and secret spots that only locals know about. Throughout the whole process, they were super patient, humorous, and thoughtful, allowing us to instantly switch from the morning's chaos to a happy mode where we couldn't stop smiling all day. Truly, "delighted our day" doesn't even begin to describe the feeling of being so well taken care of! Honestly, a simple "thank you" is not enough to express our feelings. The appearance of Chen and Frank upgraded this trip to Hunt Valley from an ordinary trip to the most unforgettable and heartwarming day of our lives. If you are planning to come to Hunt Valley and want a safe and super happy experience, I can very, very seriously tell you: find Chen, it is definitely your most correct and worthwhile choice! He doesn't just show you around, he really puts his heart into it, making every guest feel special. Chen, you are really amazing! Thank you for making this day so perfect, thank you for showing us what true "extremely awesome hospitality" is all about! Next time we come to Hunt Valley, you will be the first person we want to find! ❤️✨

I had a very delicious dinner while enjoying the night view. I was able to relax and enjoy myself because there was someone who spoke Japanese.
The food was easy to eat and I was satisfied.
I felt like I might get seasick when we were docked because of the rocking.
The staff were all friendly and it made for a great memory.
The dessert cake was also delicious.

Honestly, I was surprised because the food was more delicious than I expected. The weather was great, perfect for a picnic, and it was a luxurious experience to have a delicious lunch while enjoying the beautiful scenery. It became a very good memory. Next time, I would like to have a meal at the restaurant.

All the wineries were fantastic, we particularly enjoyed our time at the hanging tree wines, it was a shame that we didn’t get to see any kangaroos, probably because of the weather or our time of visit. overall the tour itself was great, however it was a very long drive from Sydney, at least 2 hours.

Jimmy our guide was really friendly and make us feel comfortable throughout the whole trip. There was so much food to eat and wines! We went 3 wine valleys and got to see kangaroos!! Sydney Fish market was amazing too. Understand that it's closing down and they be moving to the new out just beside the Fish market on 19 Jan 26. I'm glad I had a chance to see it before it closes down. Jimmy also cooked delicious breakfast and lunch for us, so much so that I had food coma! haha
