Absolutely brilliant day out! - Absolutely brilliant day with amazingly knowledgable, super smart and great fun founder and guide Wendy. I lived for years in Australia in the past but wanted to reconnect to nature and learn more...Wendy and the whole day delivered in spades. Great spotting in secret locations of all sorts of beautiful Aussie animals I'd never seen in the wild before...don't miss this tour!!

Can’t Miss 5 Star Experience - Wendy was a delight. She has extensive knowledge of the Australian ecosystem and were able to see Koalas, Kangaroos, Wallaby’s, Pademelon’s and Flying Foxes in their natural habitat. The day couldn’t have been better and we had a fabulous lunch too. This is a don’t miss and highly recommend.

Excellent Wildlife Experience - This was so far the best out of several tours I took from Cairns down to Byron Bay. It was well organized, well communicated, not over promised, like most other tours, and very human. Wendy clearly loves what she’s doing, she loves the animals and nature, and her enthusiasm is contagious. This is not a petting zoo tour, so don’t expect to hug koalas. You will see quite a few of them napping high in trees. Powerful binoculars are provided. The picnic lunch was delicious.

Great tour, great guide! - Lovely tour with a very knowledgable guide! Wendy showed us some niche spots that no tourist would ever notice and we got to see Koalas, Wallabys, Cangaroos and many more interesting animals. Her interesting and sometimes hilarious commentary was as welcome as the picnic lunch on a wonderful riverside. 10/10, would recommend!

Incredible - I cannot recommend this tour enough, we saw so many animals, koalas, kangaroos, wallabees - you name it! Tom was incredibly informative, knew so much not just about the animals but nature, Australia, the environment, I could’ve spoke to him all day. Animals are at the centre of the tour, Toms approach was respectful, kind and in my opinion the best way to observe animals. If you’re looking for a special way to learn more about Aus, animals and meet like minded people this is the tour for you. You wont regret it.
