Untamed Wildlife
Our Australian wildlife tours offer travellers the opportunity to experience incredible wildlife encounters from the land and sea. And just like our destinations, our wildlife encounters provide great diversity.
South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula is famed for its aquatic wildlife. Experience the pure ecstasy of splashing around with wild and rare Australian sea lions and dolphins. The underwater encounters are unforgettable.
Further along the coast, our wildlife tours are epic – literally. The Head of Bight on the far west coast of South Australia is fast becoming renowned as one of the world’s most impressive whale-watching sites. Here, we’ll have the opportunity to view up to 120 Southern Right Whales as they frolic in the waters of the Great Australian Bight Marine Park.
Back on land, you’ll see kangaroos sun-baking on beaches, cuddly koalas munching on eucalyptus leaves, and emus and dingos roaming the vast desert. Overhead, giant Wedge-tailed Eagles circle. If you venture into the Flinders Ranges, you may even encounter rare Yellow-footed Rock-wallabies. Our wildlife tours encompass the most bucket-list-worthy experiences in nature. Witness wildlife untamed and take in moments that will be imprinted on your mind forever.
Our Commitment to Wildlife Welfare
At Untamed Escapes, we’re committed to ensuring that every wildlife encounter is ethical, responsible, and respectful. We’ve recently published our Wildlife Policy, which outlines how we protect the animals we encounter and support the communities that live alongside them. If you’d like to learn more about the principles that guide our wildlife experiences — and how you can play a part — we invite you to read this story.

I traveled from Adelaide to Melbourne with Girls Guide to the World. What a fabulous experience! Hannah was such a delight! She was absolutely one of the best tour guides AND bus drivers! She was very knowledgeable about the history … More of each town we came through. She was easy going and very flexible when plans had to change. She definitely made the long bus rides special. I highly recommend Untamed Escapes with Hannah!

Had a brilliant 3 days, 2 nights swag camping on kangaroo island with Chris our guide! We managed to see so much of the island including spotting wild koalas, going to some beautiful beaches for swim stops such as Emu bay, Stokes bay and … More Hanson bay. The swag camping was so fun and we could star gaze and seen the wallaby’s s at the campsite. The food was always good and had plenty of options. Such a great group and a really fun trip! Zoe was also a great addition and help to the tour!!

What an absolutely amazing 3 day Kangaroo Island tour, couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my 69th birthday!
Brilliant company, loads of laughs, stunning views and wildlife!
Not forgetting Steve the tour guide who made everything … More so enjoyable 👌 -
My husband and I did a 3 day kangaroo island tour. It was very fun. We experienced sleeping in a tent, do some of a bit stuffs for making lunch and clean up. We saw a lot of wildlife in KI. Too bad we missed the hike as we are doing the … More dolphin swim. But our guide Hannah did a great job of explaining and showing us what KI is all about. It was a short 3 days and would love to experience more of KI when we have the time to go back again.

My husband and I just returned back to Qld after experiencing the 6 Day Eyre Peninsula & Flinders Ranges Adventure Tour.

The 10 days of Adelaide to Perth will remain an unforgettable experience to me.
This had everything - swag camping , star studded night skies, beautiful beaches, scenic drives, spectacular hikes, picnic lunches & a lot of wildlife … More ( yes, Kangaroos wake you up in the morning - I am not kidding !! ).
The selected camping parks and the facilities available were impressive, can't complain. Enough time to explore and enjoy places.
Have to mention - Brendon and Jackson - they were the best guides , really appreciate their hard work, effort and patience to give all of us a wonderful tour experience. The food was delicious, in-plenty and always on-time, never felt disappointed 🙂 .
The group was a bunch of wonderful humans who were very friendly and full of energy, there was never a boring moment !!
Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a tour across Nullarbor !!
Thanks for the experience, and looking forward to the next adventure with Untamed Escapes!! -
The incredible Adelaide to Perth 10 Day camping trip.
A review simply cannot sum up how amazing this trip was! If you are contemplating booking it, just do it! Home grown Aussie like myself, an expat or tourist, it's really an amazing … More experience for everyone.
The places you visit showcase some of the incredible beauty Australia has to offer and camping in a swag really lets you get in touch with nature. We really are a very lucky country!
Our guides Brendan and Jackson went above and beyond to make this trip over NYE extra special and memorable and we will all be forever grateful. Our eclectic group of people made for such real, heartwarming, genuine fun and laughs that will forever bring a smile to my face 😁😊
I cannot recommend this trip enough and look forward to planning my next adventure with UnTammed Escapes!
