Want to see wild animals in Melbourne? Join an experienced Wildlife Guide to find wild Koalas, Kangaroos, Echidnas and birds in their natural habitats on this 3 day Great Ocean Road wildlife tour. Take time to enjoy the scenery and country hospitality. Stay at 4.5 star boutique accommodation in idyllic locations.

Walk along the beach and feel the waves of the mighty Southern Ocean. Photograph wallabies and wildflowers in species-rich heathlands – the Great Ocean Road wildlife tour is perfect for photographers.

Let yourself be driven along a hidden river as it opens up into a wonderland of lakes and wetlands, home to egrets and eagles, lizards and lorikeets. View the plains from the top of an extinct volcano.

With 20 years of experience in this region, Echidna Walkabout’s top wildlife guides can show you the highlights and the hidden secrets of this magnificent Great Ocean Road area.

Help with a wild koala research project on an island refuge, conduct bushfire-recovery wildlife surveys, walk in rainforest listening for lyrebirds, watch sea-eagles soar and Hooded Plovers patter along untouched ocean beaches. Find huge goannas, butterflies and dragonflies, and orchids beside secluded rivers and waterways on a wildlife conservation experience in south-eastern Australia.

Travel with an experienced naturalist Wildlife Guide who will show you where to look for wild wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, parrots, cockatoos, black swans and many other Australian animals.

Help conserve and protect the wildlife and beautiful places you see on this Australian wildlife safari. Spend a little time on a glorious beach removing fishing nets (ghost nets) to prevent marine entanglements of fish, birds and sea mammals.

Share this remote area with your Wildlife Guide, but very few other people. Each night return to the comforts of an owner-operated lodge.

At the end of the journey all participants will receive a certificate of thanks for helping wildlife conservation, a full species list of everything they’ve seen, and the satisfaction of knowing they have given something back to the environments and animals visited.
