Morning bird walks and evening spotlighting may be available depending on guide availability and minimum numbers, a small fee applies.
Nearby habitats include rainforest, mountains, wetlands and drier open woodlands. Within easy reach are the Great Barrier Reef, Atherton Tableland, Daintree River, Cape Tribulation and Cooktown. With over 350 bird species in the region, including the 13 wet tropics endemics, it is one of the most rewarding birding areas in Australia.
