Australian Wildlife Tours
Untamed Wildlife
Wild encounters. Unforgettable moments.
Australia is home to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife, and there’s nothing quite like experiencing it in the wild, where it belongs.
From playful sea lions and curious dolphins to kangaroos, koalas and incredible birdlife, our wildlife adventures take you beyond the ordinary to connect with nature in some of Australia’s most spectacular landscapes.
South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula is a wildlife lover’s paradise, where the ocean comes alive with unforgettable encounters. Swim alongside playful Australian sea lions, encounter wild dolphins and discover the incredible marine life that thrives along this pristine coastline.
Whether you’re exploring on land or diving into the deep blue, our small-group adventures are designed to bring you closer to nature while respecting and protecting the wildlife and habitats that make these places so special.
Real wildlife. Real connections. Naturally untamed.
Further along South Australia’s wild west coast, nature puts on one of its greatest shows. At the Head of Bight, towering cliffs overlook the Great Australian Bight Marine Park, where Southern Right Whales gather each winter to breed, give birth and nurture their calves. Watching these gentle giants from the clifftops is an experience that will stay with you long after your adventure ends.
Back on land, the wildlife encounters are just as extraordinary. Picture kangaroos lazing on pristine beaches, koalas nestled in eucalyptus trees and emus wandering across vast outback landscapes. Keep your eyes on the skies for majestic Wedge-tailed Eagles soaring overhead, or venture into the ancient Flinders Ranges, where you might be lucky enough to spot the elusive Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby.
From the ocean to the outback, every encounter is a reminder of just how wild and wonderful Australia really is. Our small-group adventures take you into the heart of these remarkable environments, creating opportunities to experience wildlife in its natural habitat.
Wild places. Extraordinary creatures. Moments that stay with you forever.

- 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!!
