Overview

Time and time again the Best of Wildlife tour impresses those who choose to take part. A half day, afternoon tour, we travel at the best time of the day to see some of Australia’s unique animals in the wild.

The tour begins with pickup at your accommodation before a half hour to 40-minute journey through the rural surrounds of Canberra to the Deep Space Tracking Station at Tidbinbilla. Here you’ll learn about the significant role played by our telescopes in the Apollo missions and first moon landing as well as current day deep space tracking.

From the Deep Space Tracking Station, we’ll travel the short distance to the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve where some of Australia’s most iconic native animals living in the wild. Through the reserve we’ll hopefully witness and get close to:

Kangaroos
Wallabies
Koalas
Platypus
Colourful parrots and other birds
Emus

After hopefully spotting platypus towards the end of the tour, you’ll enjoy the 30-40 minute tour back into your accommodation.

I can see why this tour is frequently sold out. It was EXCELLENT! Especially appreciated the stop at NASA site and guides’ thorough knowledge of all things Canberra. A perfect way to start a visit to this city. Lovely outing.

Neil is an absolute gem. He knows a great deal about local birds and wildlife and is eager to share his knowledge.

We had this tour booked as visitors from the UK. We waited to be collected from the hotel as arranged, and no one came to collect us. We waited for over half an hour. Attempted to contact the tour company no response. I have since sent emails, attempted to phone and contact them on their website for a refund. I’ve had no contact back. We’ve missed out on a lot of money. I don’t know if this is a scam or just terrible customer service. Don’t bother booking.

Neil was a calm and knowledgeable guide. We saw lots of animals and we fully recommend this tour to people of all ages. The koalas have a baby at the moment!
