About this activity

This is far more than a standard sightseeing tour. Led by renowned local wildlife expert and qualified zoologist "Phil the Frogfather", this private experience combines spectacular waterfalls, ancient rainforest, breathtaking lookouts and authentic wildlife encounters that most visitors never get the chance to experience.

Unlike large group tours that follow a fixed itinerary, every tour is tailored to your group and adapted to current wildlife activity, weather conditions and your interests. Phil's extensive knowledge of the Gold Coast Hinterland allows guests to discover hidden locations and search for rare native wildlife including pademelons, koalas, echidnas, platypus, rare frogs, reptiles and birdlife.

With private transport, lunch, snacks and refreshments included, this is a personalised, immersive nature experience designed for travellers seeking a genuine connection with Australia's remarkable wildlife and natural landscapes.
