Araucaria Ecotours
Explore Australia's wildlife and their habitats during small-group day-tours and multi-day tours with multi-award winning Araucaria Ecotours, designed by and usually led by a zoologist with many years experience both in wildlife research and in nature interpretation for all ages. Wildlife-viewing (day and
early evening), birdwatching and gentle bushwalks are the usual activities in mountain rainforests, typical Aussie bushland, scenic beaches and the outback. Deepen your understanding of Australia's uniqueness and diversity.
They provide standard and customised tours for all ages and fitness levels. Their specialty, the three-day wildlife tour, is possibly Australia's most comprehensive wildlife tour, seeking iconic species such as kangaroos, koalas and platypus plus many lesser known mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs while fitting these into the big picture of Australia's evolutionary and geological history and its current ecosystems. Customised tours for four or more people can include adventure activities, relaxation in forest resorts, and other possibilities.
