💬 Parent Testimonials

"Nelly has taken both my children on adventures and they had the best time exploring and learning outdoors! They were so happy and engaged, and I loved seeing how much they enjoyed the experience. They came home excited, happy, and full of stories about what they saw and did. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. Highly recommend Nelly’s Adventures!" – Veronika Z., Manly

"I love that it is all outdoors and in nature, George loved it!" – James G., Manly
