All of our local guides will enhance your Australian Wildlife Experience – we know what to look for and where to find it. We have independent and peer evaluation of our tours through the national Ecotourism Accreditation scheme – ecotourism quality you can depend upon. We are currently members of the following tourism industry bodies: Mystic Mountains Tourism Association, Tourism Alliance Victoria and the Ecotourism Association of Australia. 

We are contributing to the scientific knowledge about plants and animals in Victoria because our records of significant observations are sent to our state conservation department.
