From the Tropics to Tasmania, This is Australia's Greatest Nature Extravaganza
Australia is huge—about the same size as the continental USA. It’s wide, it’s wild, it’s wondrous. And it’s filled with some of the world’s most intriguing creatures, many of which are found nowhere else. Dive deep with us in search of koalas and kangaroos, wombats and wallaroos, pademelon, platypus, cassowary, crocodile, quoll, echidna, goanna, bearded dragon, Tasmanian devil, and many more species whose names are as quirky as their appearance and behavior. If you’re a wildlife fanatic who wants to see it all, we’ve pulled out all the stops to create a truly peerless encounter with the unique and fascinating creatures down under. Spanning the continent from top to bottom, our singular itinerary connects Australia’s most iconic nature destinations and diverse ecosystems on a seamless route facilitated by our own chartered flights. Add a whole host of private encounters with local naturalists, expert biologists, conservationists and Indigenous guides, and you have the most exclusive, educational and entertaining nature adventure Australia has to offer.

The Most In-Depth Encounter with Australian Nature You'll Find
For the nature lover in search of the wild and wonderful, Australia has an extraordinary amount to offer. Its vastly diverse environments, from wet tropics and coral reef to ancient canyons and arid desert, hold a panoply of intriguing creatures found nowhere else. It's a huge country, though, and it takes effort to get to. If you’re going all this way, why not choose the ultimate down-under nature experience? For all these reasons, this is it!
- An All-Encompassing Nature Adventure
You won’t find a more immersive encounter with Australia’s nature and wildlife. From tropical rain forests and the Great Barrier Reef up north, way down to Tasmania and Kangaroo Island off the south coast—and diverse points in between—we take you farther and deeper into wild Australia on this wide-reaching, one-of-a-kind itinerary. Leave the big cities behind and spend your time in nature! - Discover Wild Places of National & Global Renown
We explore eight national parks and four UNESCO World Heritage Sites -- plus seven private wildlife sanctuaries that are leaders in habitat and species conservation—together protecting some of the world’s most interesting and unique wildlife, stunning landscapes, and human culture dating back tens of thousands of years. - Seamless Flights – Including Private Charters – For More Time in Nature
Australia is a huge country. That's why we fly between many locations, rather than waste time on long drives. But adhering to commercial air schedules and logistics can also eat up precious safari time. So we charter planes for certain legs, strategically avoiding complicated connections and layovers. You don't come this far to spend excessive time sitting in airports or vehicles (although the drives we do include are integral to your nature experience). - Distinctive Lodgings Immerse You in Australia's Wildest Places
Experience Nat Hab's signature brand of luxury as you stay in comfort surrounded by dramatic scenery and unique wildlife. We choose our accommodations for their proximity to nature, their unique atmosphere, and wherever possible, their commitment to sustainability and environmental leadership. Highlights include a fly-in ecolodge on a remote barrier reef island and an Outback safari camp under the stars in the Flinders Ranges. - Our Connections Grant You Access to Exclusive Experiences
Through our expertise and local knowledge, you'll be privy to locations, behind-the-scenes tours and private meetings with naturalists, scientists and conservationists that aren’t offered by more conventional companies. At every turn, we offer private experiences – from bush walks to boat rides and much more – that give you a quieter and more meaningful encounter with Australia’s amazing nature and wildlife. - A Nature Focus Illuminated with Aboriginal Perspective
Nature is the primary force sculpting Australia's diverse and dramatic landscapes, but humans have been at home here for millennia. From savanna to swamp to melaleuca forest, this is Aboriginal homeland. Through cultural encounters, including Aboriginal-owned and operated ecotourism enterprises, we witness how local people are bringing the wisdom of traditional sustainable living and land management to natural ecosystems today. - Explore with Just 12 Travelers—Plus Local Guides
In a small group, we can seek out more remote locations and stay in intimate lodges surrounded by nature and close to wildlife. With fewer people, you get a deeper, more peaceful nature experience. And with local guides supporting our Expedition Leader throughout, you get matchless interpretation and exceptional personal attention. - The World’s Finest Naturalist Expedition Leaders
Natural Habitat Adventures has a well-deserved global reputation for employing the highest-quality guides in the industry. Our Expedition Leaders aren’t typical tour guides. They are professional naturalists with years of experience and training, including access to resources from WWF's top scientists. You won’t find more knowledgeable—or more personable—guides. Our philosophy is simple: a nature adventure is only as good as the guide who leads it, so we provide the very best!
