Our Wildlife Safari takes you to three different habitats near Byron Bay. You’ll visit eucalyptus forest, rainforest and grassland to discover the animals that live there.
We guarantee you’ll see a koala or two, a mob of kangaroo, and many species of bird. If conditions are right you may also see pademelon, echidna, tawny frogmouth and water dragons. Along the way you will be amazed at the abundant birdlife.
On this tour we travel to where the animals live so it involves a bit of driving. We start with a 45-minute drive to our first stop and end the day with a 1-hour drive back to Byron Bay. In between there are short drives and walks.
What's included:
Return transport
Environmental scientist as a guide
Use of binoculars
Access to photographs
Picnic lunch
Water refills
What to bring:
Water bottle
Jacket (depending on weather)
Covered Shoes
Please wear dark clothes if possible

Tom was an amazing tour guide and took me and the other participants to all the places described in the tour. We were so lucky and got to see kangaroos, wallabys, pademelons, 9! Koala bears, loads of birds and to end the tour, we stopped and watched flying foxes. He told us everything about the animals and wildlife in the byron bay hinterlands and prepared a great picknick lunch for us as well. Would absolutely do it again. Thanks for the great experience!

Amazing Experience! This tour exceeded expectations. Our guide, Wendy, was super friendly and knowledgeable about all things Australian Wildlife. We saw a Pademelon which was unexpected, around 10 Koalas, plenty of Kangaroos, a colony of flying fox and many different birds, all in natural environments. The picnic lunch was delicious and was easy to bond as a small group. If you are in Byron and want to explore some of the Northern Rivers region and see some wildlife in nature definitely do this tour!

This is my second tour by VisionTours, and I just have to give another 5 stars 🌟.
Our guide, Wendy, took us to all the local stops where we were able to see all sorts of Australia's wildlife.
We started off by seeing a colony of flying foxes and also stumbled upon a carpet python!
Our next stop was a boardwalk in a rainforest to see pademelons. Although we couldn't see them by eye, Wendy let us use her thermal monocular and we managed to spot them, along with a few birds by eye.
We proceeded to go see koalas in the wild, and were lucky enough to see them while they were awake and hungry.
The picnic lunch was provided by our guide, and there was a lovely selection of all sorts of foods.
We finished off the tour with some kangaroo and wallaby spotting and managed to see quite a few.
Overall, I was incredibly chuffed with this tour and will definitely book again with the same guide.

Tom is a very prepared tour guide. I felt very safe because he had everything in case of an emergency. Also the lunch he chose was delicious. Finally he took us where we could se flying foxes, koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, birds, etc.

Excellent and very nice tour. We saw all that was promised and more! It’s great to see all the animals in their natural environment and not disturb them as it should be. Our guide Tom has a lot of knowledge and has a great sense of humor. The picknick was delicious at a great spot by the river. Go and enjoy this tour!

We had the pleasure of having Tom as our guide for the day. Tom was absolutely amazing! His knowledge was very impressive, which added so much to the overall experience. We were lucky to get to see koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, flying foxes etc. And learned a lot about all the different species and their habitats. Would definitely recommend to anyone. The organisation of the tours was very professional, with pickups, delicious lunch and keeping us informed along the way

Tom was an amazing guide for our safari. There were 5 of us in the group, and he made sure everyone was having a great time and were feeling good throughout the day long excursion. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Byron Bay. We saw Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, and flying foxes. It was incredible to see these animals in the wild, and it’s a much different experience than seeing them at a zoo. It was great! Tom was very passionate about wildlife and nature, which added to the charm of the experience.
