Araucaria Ecotours has recently been featured in Clean Breaks by Rough Guides

Whether you are visiting Australia, have recently immigrated here, or have lived here all your life but want to get to know your country and its wildlife better, come along with us and enjoy seeing and learning about our fauna and flora and their habitats. All ages and fitness levels catered for on most tours (some birdwatching tours not suitable for the very young, some bushwalking not suitable for the very unfit).

Our main destinations are within the species-rich and wonderfully scenic southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales. but our outback tour heads over 1000km inland, and customized tours can take you further afield.

Proprietor Ronda Green has a PhD in zoology and extensive knowledge of local wildlife ecology and behaviour, as well as several decades' experience in nature interpretation for all ages, including lectures,workshops, field excursions, games,self-guided nature trails and computer programs.

We hold advanced eco-accreditation for all tours so far applied for, uphold the ideals of ecotourism on all our tours and activities, and are involved in various conservation projects.
