Let us introduce you!

Hey there, nature enthusiasts! Let us introduce you to the enchanting world of Byron Bay’s biodiversity, brought to life by the incredible Vision Walks eco tours. Imagine immersing yourself in the heart of Australia’s wildlife wonderland – from cuddly koalas and bouncy kangaroos to wallabies, soaring flying foxes, colorful birds, elusive platypus, playful possums, bandicoots, and even the croaky frogs. These critters put on a show during dawn, daylight, and under the stars.

But wait, there’s more! These tours are designed for everyone, no matter your age or adventure level. Starting with the accessible Byron Bay Platypus walk to the daredevil Night Vision Walk, they’ve got all bases covered. Need something extra special? They’ll craft a custom experience just for you.

Now, let’s talk guides – these Aussie experts aren’t just locals, they’re environmental scientists with a serious passion for their backyard. Their knowledge runs deep, and their love for this corner of the world is contagious. Prepare to be inspired beyond your visit!

Koala Tour

See koalas in the wild. We take you where they live and go in search of these super cute aussie icons.

You will spend about an hour exploring koala habitat and spotting koalas. Afterwards we will treat you to morning tea of local tea or coffee and delicious Byron Bay cookies.

We guarantee that you will see koalas. How many you see varies. Sometimes the ones you do see are asleep high up in the trees – that’s koalas for you! We estimate that you will see between two and 10.

Koalas are in danger of extinction. As an eco-tour company we hold to a high standard of care and responsibility.  This means we do what we can to protect and preserve them. We vary the locations for our koala tours to minimise our impact.

We also go a step further. For each person on the tour, Vision Walks makes a donation to Friends of the Koala. This is a local group that takes care of sick and injured koalas.

You will not be able to touch or feed any koalas on this tour.

Byron Bay Night Vision Walk Square1

Night Vision Walk

Our patented Night Vision Walk is the only one of its kind in the world!

Imagine exploring the Australian rainforest at night, searching for nocturnal wildlife. Instead of wielding a torch you’re incognito, wearing special night vision goggles. This is military grade technology that lets you see animals as they go about their business.

For many of our clients, seeing the forest in the dark is an enlightening experience.After your walk enjoy a hot chocolate gazing up at the starry night. Heaven!

Nights with less moonlight are best for a Night Vision Walk. On a typical night we see five species. Our regular sightings include possum, pademelon, bandicoot, tawny frogmouth, leaf tailed gecko, fucsipes, melomys, micro bats and frogs.

We do our very best to give you a great experience, but of course, we are dealing with nature so we cannot guarantee animal sightings.

Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements when you book.These walks are not recommended for people with epilepsy.

As with all our our eco tours, we request that you try and wear dark clothing if possible. We don’t draw attention to ourselves, to the wildlife that we are trying to see.

Platypus

Platypus Walk

It is possible to see platypus at any time of the day, but our best chance is just after dawn.

We pick you up from your Byron Bay accommodation and drive to the special platypus area. From there we start our 90-minute easy walk along the creek looking for platypus.

Your guide will lead you at a gentle pace, showing you what to look for and sharing insights about this much-loved and quirky Australian animal.

We usually see one or two platypus, loads of birds and sometimes even koalas. After watching the platypus have their breakfast we relax with ours – a picnic by the creek – before returning to Byron Bay.

We can’t guarantee platypus sightings on this tour, but don’t worry. If we don’t see them we take you on another day, free.

Bush Tucker Tour

Bush Tucker Walk

The Australian bush is full of edible fruits, roots, nuts, seeds and leaves. For centuries Aboriginal people have gathered, hunted and harvested this bush tucker.

The rest of us are only beginning to learn about the incredible natural and native food resources on our doorstep.

Join Delta Kay a local Arakwal woman, on a two-hour walk of discovery. As you walk Delta will teach you how to identify what’s good to eat and what’s not.

Finding bush tucker takes special knowledge that developed from living close to nature. Delta has lived on country a lot of her life, she is proud Arakwal custodian and is committed to working in genuine partnership with our local community to promote an awareness, understanding and mutual respect between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.

Afterwards enjoy some bush tea and learn a bit of weaving.
