Hobart Area Guided Birding

Hobart Birdwatching

Tasmania is Australia’s island state with spectacular scenery and varied habitats such as temperate rainforests, dry woodlands, coastal heathlands and moors, mountains, fast-flowing streams and wetlands and much more. Hobart and nearby Bruny Island are ideal locations from which to explore these regions. Let us arrange customised private guiding starting from your accommodation in or near Hobart: our guides have accompanied countless birdwatchers during more than twenty years.
