Full description
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.
Varied start time depending on the time of year (daylight saving), 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.
Deep Space Tracking Station
Here you’ll learn about the significant role played by our telescopes in the Apollo missions and the first moon landing as well as current-day deep space tracking.
Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve
We’ll travel the short distance to the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve where some of Australia’s most iconic native animals live in the wild. Through the reserve, we’ll hopefully witness and get close to: kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, platypus, emus, colorful parrots and other birds.
Arrive Back in Canberra
After hopefully spotting platypus towards the end of the tour, you’ll enjoy the 30-40 minute tour back into your accommodation with drop off to major hotels and motel chains.
