Absolute delight! - Wendy was fantastic and very knowledgeable. It was everything we hoped for! We saw flying foxes, birds, pademelons, kangaroos (with joeys), wallabies, and TWELVE koalas (2 joeys)!!! Absolutely wonderful experience. One of the highlights of my trip!

Great guide, great day out seeing real wildlife. - Warning - this is not some glam tour it's a sharing so there is driving to see the animals. Wendy our guide was great, knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. The locations are great, loved the pademelon rainforest boardwalk, my husband who did a botany degree was in raptures. Koalas galore, we saw one as soon as we got out of the van but it's not always the case. Lunch was very good and in a nice spot. Finished with Kangaroos and Wallabies. Highly recommend the tour

A memorable family experience! - This was a magical experience for three generations of our family to enjoy together -great for all ages. Wendy was a friendly, knowledgable tour guide who taught us a huge amount about the local ecosystem. She was good company and knew the best spots to see native wildlife. Seeing koalas - including one with a joey - was one to tick off our bucket list. Thank you Wendy - we thoroughly recommend your tours!

Great tour that delivers - We saw 8 koalas just chilling in the trees, some of us shifting around to watch us. And seeing so many kangaroos and walllabies was awesome. Wendy was informative and kind and delivered on everything she promised.

Amazing experience!! - Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see some amazing native Australian wildlife in their natural habitats, absolutely no cages involved!! Wendy, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and gave us lots of information! She also took some really high quality photos of the animals we saw on the day - check out their Instagram to see some examples! The lunchtime picnic was really tasty too and a lovely addition. A great day out overall!

Great tour to see animals in their natural habitats! - Tom was an amazing tour guide and took me and the other participants to all the places described in the tour. We were so lucky and got to see kangaroos, wallabys, pademelons, 9! Koala bears, loads of birds and to end the tour, we stopped and watched flying foxes. He told us everything about the animals and wildlife in the byron bay hinterlands and prepared a great picknick lunch for us as well. Would absolutely do it again. Thanks for the great experience!

Brilliant Wildlife Tour - Amazing Experience! This tour exceeded expectations. Our guide, Wendy, was super friendly and knowledgeable about all things Australian Wildlife. We saw a Pademelon which was unexpected, around 10 Koalas, plenty of Kangaroos, a colony of flying fox and many different birds, all in natural environments. The picnic lunch was delicious and was easy to bond as a small group. If you are in Byron and want to explore some of the Northern Rivers region and see some wildlife in nature definitely do this tour!

5 stars! - This is my second tour by VisionTours, and I just have to give another 5 stars 🌟. Our guide, Wendy, took us to all the local stops where we were able to see all sorts of Australia's wildlife. We started off by seeing a colony of flying foxes and also stumbled upon a carpet python! Our next stop was a boardwalk in a rainforest to see pademelons. Although we couldn't see them by eye, Wendy let us use her thermal monocular and we managed to spot them, along with a few birds by eye. We proceeded to go see koalas in the wild, and were lucky enough to see them while they were awake and hungry. The picnic lunch was provided by our guide, and there was a lovely selection of all sorts of foods. We finished off the tour with some kangaroo and wallaby spotting and managed to see quite a few. Overall, I was incredibly chuffed with this tour and will definitely book again with the same guide.
