Tour Overview

Australia is a naturalist’s dream come true! Australia harbors enormous diversity of habitats, including the world’s longest coral reef (the 1260-mile long Great Barrier Reef).

Our birding tour focuses on eastern Australia, during the dry season. From northeast, where we have a chance for cassowary, bowerbirds and platypus, to the southeast’s lyrebirds, fairy wrens, wallabies, albatrosses and penguins, our tour samples a good portion of Australia’s scenery, avifauna and other wildlife.

Endemism here in Australia is extraordinary; 5 non-passerine families and 15 passerine families are endemic to Australasia, plus diverse marsupials, pigeons (26 species), parrots (53 species) and seabirds (79 species).

A superb and exciting tour with mostly easy birding in comfortable surroundings – truly unforgettable!
