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.

Mullumbimby was a great spot to leave the car as travel distance was short and its a fun town to have breakfast before and lunch after.
All these conveniences made for a smooth and fun walking adventure. Thank you!
The service was prompt and friendly, and the advice helpful.
My only criticism is that there was only just enough time for us to do the extra 6 km to the base of Minyon Falls - arguably one of the most spectacular and worthwhile portions of the hike. It would have been nice to have another half an hour to an hour to finish this section of the walk at a more leisurely pace, especially after four days on the trail.
All in all though, I definitely recommend using Vision Walks if you'd like to walk the Gijuum Gulganyi trail but you're not from the area / don't have a car.

Amazing scenery and comfortable glamping style accommodation each night.
A massive thank you to our guide Tom, whose friendly nature and obvious love of his job made the trek all the more special.
Worth every penny (cent) and a great way to spend a morning.
It was a great day and Tom was a great guide, we definately recommend.
The icing on the cake: she has invested in tree planting so that the carbon footprint of her business is a net positive to the world! And the trees help provide koalas with an enhanced habitat!
This adventure was 100% worth every penny! We couldn’t recommend Wendy and her business high enough.
We spotted koalas on eucaliptus, some kangaroos and wallabi, bats and birds. We had a very nice pic nic (also for vegan vegetarian and gluten free).
Very recommended
Thanks for the great experience and amazing pictures! You made the trip of a lifetime even better! Book today!
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.
Thank you Wendy,
Lisa
So Tom put Plan B into place and drove us to another location where we ended up seeing 7 close by. We could almost reach out and touch them.
This trip was great because all efforts were made to ensure we had a great experience but at the same time mindful about the welfare of the animals. Would definitely recommend Vision Walks to anyone wanting an authentic and sympathetic tour of wildlife. Thanks to Wendy and Tom
Thank you Wendy
Wendy was informative, friendly and so knowledgeable about about the Byron area and environment. When we arrived she gave us a run through of the location and the experiences that were on throughout the day.
The ride out there was a highlight of the day! I highly recommend.
Once we got to the place, she got us our tickets and gave us on overview of the area which is helpful in planning how to go around this huge place.
