Full Day Byron Bay Hinterland
Upon boarding your hybrid vehicle at your Byron Bay accommodation, travel approximately 45 minutes into the surrounding hinterland. Spend the day seeking animals where they naturally occur, moving between carefully selected wildlife locations and learning about the diverse habitats and species of this richly biodiverse region.
Explore eucalypt forest and open grassland in search of Koalas, Eastern Grey Kangaroos and Red-necked Wallabies, with the possibility of encountering the more elusive Red-legged Pademelon and Short-beaked Echidna. Visit areas inhabited by large colonies of Grey-headed and Black Flying Foxes, while keeping watch for Eastern Water Dragons and some of the region's abundant birdlife, including Kookaburras, Rainbow and Scaly-breasted Lorikeets, Eastern Yellow Robins and, with some luck, the striking Noisy Pitta and Tawny Frogmouth.
"Connecting to nature is important for the mind, body and spirit," she says. "I love sharing my knowledge of the natural and human history of the area with others." Wendy Bithell - GuidePause amongst the subtropical rainforest to enjoy a locally sourced picnic lunch, before continuing your exploration of the Byron Bay hinterland. Throughout the safari, your naturalist guide will help identify wildlife and provide insight into the animals, habitats and ecology of the region, with binoculars provided to allow close observation while minimising disturbance.
After approximately seven hours exploring the hinterland, return to your Byron Bay accommodation having experienced a very different side of this celebrated coastal region.
