Enjoy your experience! ----- Koalas are possibly Australia's most iconic native animals, and you will get the opportunity to see them in their own natural environment. Go in search of these super cute animals on a half-day adventure into the forests they call home with a wildlife expert as your guide. Get picked up from your accommodation in a luxury 8-seater 4WD van as you head into the beautiful bushlands and eucalyptus forests to start your wildlife experience. Joined by a passionate guide and environmental scientist, spend about an hour exploring known koala habitats to spot the koalas in the wild. Koalas are among the largest tree-dwelling marsupials and have a very slow metabolism, so it's no wonder they can sleep up to 20 hours a day while slowly digesting eucalyptus leaves. On this tour, you are guaranteed to see koalas. How many you see varies, but it is likely to see between two and ten on any given day. Sometimes the ones you do see are asleep high up in the trees that's koalas for you! Our guide will have a camera with excellent zoom to take some amazing images that they are happy to share with the group, so if you only have a smartphone, you can still go home with some great memories. After your nature experience, you will be treated to morning tea of local tea or coffee and delicious Byron Bay cookies. Sadly koalas are in danger of extinction. As an eco-tour company, we are held to a high standard of care and responsibility and will do what we can to protect and preserve them. We vary the locations for our koala tours to minimise our impact and make a donation per person to Friends of the Koala. This is a local group that takes care of sick and injured koalas. You will not be able to touch or feed any koalas on this tour.
