Kangaroos, Koalas and Penguins

Tour Code AFF

Overview -
Join this relaxing 3 day tour from Melbourne that showcases the very best wildlife of southern Australia. We have linked together some of Australia's best wildlife viewing opportunities.

Your expert nature guide will help you find large mobs of wild Kangaroos, track down wild Koalas (as part of a special Koala Research Project), and walk quietly beside wild Little Penguins as they emerge from the ocean in the evening. But that's not all. During this tour your guide will introduce you to many more wild animals and birds. That's why we've named this tour Australian Fur and Feathers - in the wild!

As part of this experience you will have a relaxing night on Phillip Island near Melbourne, and an opportunity to learn about the early history and culture of this region.

Echidna Walkabout is a small eco tour operation and we believe that wildlife should be seen in as near to natural condition as possible. We have a reputation for providing exceptional wildlife experiences led by first class nature guides. This tour is for small groups (no more than 8 people in each group) allowing for a more personal experience and better wildlife viewing opportunities.
