This tour visits some of the most remote, bird-rich areas in Australia. In the country's far north eastern corner, the distinctive Cape York Peninsula juts out into the tropical waters of the Coral Sea and is home to the largest unspoilt patch of rainforest on the continent.

The journey takes in the riches of Lakefield National Park, where highlights are likely to include the Golden-shouldered Parrot, Black-throated Finch, and Red Goshawk. Further north, Kutini-Payamu (Iron Range) National Park offers a chance to see species found nowhere else in Australia, such as the Palm Cockatoo, Magnificent Riflebird, Red-cheeked Parrot, Frill-necked Monarch, and White-faced Robin.

Simply put, this tour is hard to beat: it covers the highlight areas in this region, and we travel at a comfortable pace. This tour is also one of our best sellers and you are welcome to join us on this next trip.
