Our very popular full day birding tour provides an excellent overview of Bruny Island habitats and species, with the chance to visit many different birding locations with a specialist local guide.

We begin at the Inala Conservation Reserve where we will walk around the private reserve, home to a variety of threatened species and all twelve Tasmanian endemic birds. This part of the tour gives us the opportunity to observe the endangered Tasmanian endemic Forty-spotted Pardalote from the purpose-built canopy platform within one of its largest  known colonies. We may also have the chance to view raptors such as the Tasmanian subspecies of the Wedge-tailed Eagle and the white morph of the Grey Goshawk from the raptor viewing.

We will then then continue the tour, exploring your choice of many wonderful Bruny Island locations. As these tours may cater to individual interests, locations may depend on which birds, wildlife, history and landscape are of most interest. These include Cloudy Bay, Cape Bruny Lighthouse, Adventure Bay, Mount Mangana, Mavista Rainforest, The Neck, Cape Queen Elizabeth and many other unique and beautiful sites. The Inala guide can illuminate and interpret the rich and varied habitats you pass through, and inform you about all the wonderful nature that you see.
