Australia Wildlife Tours
- Carrowong Fauna Sanctuary
Description:
Cairns,
Queensland boasts two famous World Heritage Areas, The Great
Barrier Reef for diving, giant clams, whales etc., and the Wet
Tropical Rainforest for its spectacular wildlife and biodiversity,
including our endangered cassowary, tree kangaroos, gliders and
possums. You can now enjoy both in one day. Over 90% of Australian
wildlife is nocturnal, so the best time to view our native
inhabitants in their natural environment is atnight.
Our original wildlife tours continue to lead the way in
rainforest ecotourism.
Carrowong's Wildlife Mountain Safari concentrates on the rare and
endangered mammals of the night and A Night in the Rainforest, our
nocturnal spotlighting walk, reveals the great biodiversity of
these ancient rainforests.
All tours are led by local wildlife specialists. A very
different experience compared to the mass tour market. Our tours
tend to transform guests into strong advocates for environmental
protection.
An educational and
entertaining experience is guaranteed.
Carrowong Fauna Sanctuary is
privately funded, locally owned and dedicated to the
rehabilitation and conservation of native rainforest wildlife. We know the rainforest, it's
where we live, and our original wildlife tours continue to lead
the way in rainforest ecotourism. All tours are led by local
wildlife specialists.
