Stay longer - Do more
Take your time.....
“Seeing wildlife successfully is all about taking your time, finding the right location then settling down to enjoy the experience.” says Roger Smith, Echidna Walkabout’s Operations Director.
Echidna Walkabout adds two extra dimensions: our Wildlife Guides save you time by taking you to the best places to see wildlife PLUS you’ll be involved in conserving and protecting wildlife simply by being on the tour.
“This means that you can stay longer and do more, knowing that you are not only enjoying yourself, you’re helping wildlife at the same time!” says Roger.
Below you’ll find a selection of our best multi-day wildlife tours, all carefully researched, all exceptional experiences. (You can link many of these trips together; check out our Across Australia page and ask us to create a Tailor-made itinerary
