Description

Keen to spot a platypus in Byron Bay? This special morning walk gets you out just after dawn for your best shot at catching these quirky Aussie icons in the wild. We'll pick you up from your Byron Bay accommodation and whisk you straight to our favourite platypus hangout, ready to roll while most locals are still snoozing.

Your guide sets the pace for a cruisy 90-minute stroll along the creek bank, keeping you in the loop with handy tips and fascinating platypus facts. There's a real buzz in the air as you scan the water for that telltale ripple; odds are you'll see one or two platypus, and there's no shortage of birdlife or even the odd koala up in the gum trees if you're lucky.

After all that early-morning wildlife spotting, settle in for a laid-back picnic breakfast by the creek. It's a proper Aussie way to start the day; good food, wildlife and a bit of fresh air in your lungs with the bush all around you.

No platypus? No worries, mate; if these shy critters give you the slip, we'll bring you back out another day for free. That's the platypus promise. Groups travel in either an eight-seater hybrid or a plush 12-seater bus, depending on the day. Be sure to let us know any dietary needs when you book.

Additional Information

Please advise any special dietary requirements at the time of booking so we can sort your brekkie appropriately. Platypus sightings aren't guaranteed, but if none are spotted, a complimentary follow-up tour is offered. Tour transport will be in either a comfortable eight-seater hybrid vehicle or a 12-seater bus, based on group size for the day. This is an easy-paced walk suitable for most fitness levels.
