The meeting place is at Gate 5 on Pt Wilson Road, and the cost is $150 per person for a 4 and a half hour tour. We typically record between 75 and 85 species of bird on these tours depending on the season !

We are very excited to be able to offer this experience Small group trips are a cost effective way to join a birdwatching tour and at the same time meet like minded people
