Self Guiding

Upon arrival at the lodge you will be given a comprehensive bird list for the area plus maps of the local birding hot spots and up to date information of possible places to find particular bird species.

Hire a Bird Guide

If you don't want to self guide we can organise a guide to suit your needs. You can hire a guide for a full or half day and chose to use your own vehicle or a guide with a minibus or Four Wheel Drive is available, obviously this option will be more expensive than using your own vehicle. We can also arrange a Japanese speaking guide. Whatever you chose you can personalise your tours to find target species with the guide. All the guides we use cater for beginners to experience birders.

We can also arrange suitable bird friendly reef trips out of Cairns to the seabird breeding colony at Michaelmas Cay. River trips on the Daintree River (55 minutes away) can also be booked.
