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.

Brilliant adventure in Byron Bay’s Hinterland - This was a brilliant way for a pair of Canadians to see exotic Australian wildlife in their natural habitat without bothering them. Wendy knows all the nooks and crannies, finding us excellent spots to see flying foxes, pademelons, koalas (lots of koalas!), kangaroos, wallabies, and more. And we got really great sightings! Wendy is very knowledgable and provided us with lots of information about the animals, their habitats, and the natural history of the region (and all Australia). She was personable, flexible, and very client oriented. She pulled out all the stops so we all had a wonderful experience. The icing on the cake: she has invested in tree planting so that the carbon footprint of her business is a net positive to the world! And the trees help provide koalas with an enhanced habitat! This adventure was 100% worth every penny! We couldn’t recommend Wendy and her business high enough.

Amazing and interesting - The tour was amazing and our guide very polite and funny, with a wide knowledge in theme of wildlife and environmental issues. We spotted koalas on eucaliptus, some kangaroos and wallabi, bats and birds. We had a very nice pic nic (also for vegan vegetarian and gluten free). Very recommended
