I appreciated the tour...

Published on Feb, 2025

I appreciated the tour guide's depth of knowledge and attention to detail. The platypus sightings are quite regular and are the highlight of the trip.

See rare wildlife up close

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing tour. We saw wildlife most Aussies don’t see in their lifetime, amongst them three platypus and a tree kangaroo. Paul took us to all the right spots, and had so much information about all the animals and nature. Would highly recommend if you want an authentic experience.

A great wildlife, rainforest tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

Take this trip! This is a well planned, amazing trip. Paul is wonderful host with wealth of knowledge. We saw so many native Australian animals including the platypus, tree kangaroo, two types of possums, rainbow gecko, dragon lizard and many more. We even experienced a fruit bat rescue If you want a chance to see a pademelon, take this tour!

Delightful wildlife trip.

Published on Oct, 2024

A delightful laid back trip to see some of Australia’s wildlife that I suspect most visitors don’t get to see. Paul was an excellent host/guide and a mine of local wildlife information. We would highly recommend.

Brilliant guide and magnificent wildlife!!!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was one of the best wildlife tours i’ve ever taken! It was wonderful to see so much of Australia’s legendary creatures in their native habitats like Platypus, Wallaby, Flying Foxes, and too many types of birds to mention. The rainforest was lush and beautiful and the majesty of the famous Curtain fig tree was simply breathtaking!!! Paul is a top-notch guide who knows his local wildlife as well as any biologist. He’s a got a great sense of humor and he always made sure we were in the perfect spots to get a clear view of all the critters. Dinner at the beautiful old Yungaburra was delicious and the old world atmosphere of the place is really something worth experiencing in itself !!! If you’re ever in Queensland, don’t miss this tour!!!
