Animal Encounter Byron Bay

Come with us to see Australian wildlife in the wild – not a Zoo or Sanctuary.

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, a whole colony of Flying Fox and many species of bird. If conditions are right, you may also see Pademelon, Echidna, Tawny Frogmouth and Water Dragons.
Learn to spot the different between a Kangaroo and Wallaby, or a Grey-Headed Flying Fox and a Black one.

Along the way you will be amazed at the abundant birdlife, including, Native Hens, Ducks and Waders; noisy colourful Parrots; iconic Kookaburra; Magpies, Currawong, tiny flitting Wrens and Robin. These are just some of the birds you can see on this Tour.


What's for lunch? A picnic of locally sourced goodness.
Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements when you book.

We are an award-winning Eco-Tour company, and we are passionate about what we do. As with all our Eco Tours, it is our goal to observe but not disturb the wildlife.
If you want to feed or pat the wildlife, this is not the tour for you.

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 a series of short drives and walks.


You'll journey in style and comfort, either in our cozy eight-seater hybrid vehicle or our spacious 12-seater bus, depending on the group size for the tour.
