Despre activitate
There is a whole world in these gardens that most people never see. Jumping spiders smaller than a fingernail. Caterpillars that look like twigs. Fungi that grow all around. Bridgette Gower and her team have spent over 2,000 hours in the Cairns Botanic Gardens finding them, on this small group tour of only 8, they take you directly to them.
This is a photographer-led exploration of the insects, spiders, reptiles, and fungi that live in the undergrowth and go unnoticed by most visitors. The routes are seasonal. Jumping spiders, mantids, butterflies, beetles, and moths are regular sightings. Your guide will help you identify each species and understand the ecosystems they are part of.
Photography guidance is built in for all skill levels. Whether you use a smartphone or a dedicated camera, you will leave with shots worth keeping. Camera hire is available from A$40 - $80 across beginner, intermediate, and advanced options. Reserve your preferred option after booking and pay on the day.

Itinerar
Cairns has a jungle's worth of tiny wildlife hiding in plain sight, and most people never look down long enough to find it. This walk starts at 8:15am at the Cairns Botanic Gardens main entrance (8:10am if you're renting camera gear), where Bridgette or a member of her bug spotting team briefs you on the route and how to move quietly around wildlife before you begin. From there, the pace slows right down. Every few metres brings a new find: jumping spiders, caterpillars, mantids, beetles, moths, butterflies, lizards, fungi, each one a photo opportunity with species context and photography tips delivered on the spot, so you leave with the shot and the story behind it. Your guides connect the dots between species and the ecosystem they share, and questions are welcome throughout. You're back at the main entrance by approximately 10:30am, camera roll full of things you'd never have spotted on your own.
