Understanding Australia’s wildlife IN THE WILD. All animals we visit are wild. Our tours contribute to the conservation of Australia’s wildlife – through habitat creation, species monitoring & man-made hazard removal. Echidna Walkabout is a Social Enterprise - our business is run to fulfil our mission: To ensure the free-living future of Australia’s wildlife.
We’ll help you experience nature at its best, where each day is a new mystery and each encounter is unique. Echidna Walkabout has been guiding international travelers on small-group wildlife and conservation tours for 20 years. Absolute excellence in Wildlife Guiding is our hallmark.
All our tours have a conservation/voluntourism component – from pulling out a weed to create koala habitat, to recording wildlife sightings for submission to scientific atlases, to removing ghost nets on pristine beaches – you can help us help the wildlife you enjoy.
Most tours depart Melbourne, and travel to carefully chosen wildlife locations in south eastern Australia. We have a suite of scheduled small group and private tours from 1 to 7 days in duration, and offer a range of group tours for groups large and small. Or we can design an itinerary to suit your needs.
