Australia Wildlife Holidays
Safari & Wildlife
Head into the rugged wilderness of Kakadu National Park and you’ll find yourself surrounded by ancient landscapes alive with life - saltwater crocodiles basking on riverbanks and hundreds of bird species soaring above the wetlands. Western Australia offers its own incredible encounters, swim alongside whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef, spot wild dolphins in Monkey Mia, or venture inland to glimpse emus striding across the outback.
In the tropical north, explore the ancient Daintree Rainforest, where cassowaries roam beneath emerald canopies and flying foxes hang from trees. Journey offshore to the Great Barrier Reef where vibrant coral gardens create an underwater world like no other. For unforgettable encounters with Australia’s most iconic wildlife, venture south to Kangaroo Island or Tasmania, where native species thrive in pristine habitats. From rugged coastlines to ancient forests, these southern sanctuaries offer the perfect escape for those seeking untouched wilderness and adventure.
Trailfinders offers a range of Australia Wildlife holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here. Whether you dream of tracking unique species with expert naturalist guides, joining a small group wildlife adventure or relaxing in a luxurious wilderness lodge, they are the perfect people to ask.

WHAT TO DO ON YOUR AUSTRALIA WILDLIFE HOLIDAY
One day you might be swimming with majestic whale sharks on Ningaloo Reef, the next watching Phillip Island’s world-famous Penguin Parade, or perhaps keeping your eyes peeled for saltwater crocodiles in Australia’s Top End.
Our collection of unmissable wildlife experiences will help bring your Australia Wildlife holiday to life.
Swim with Whale Sharks

Phillip Island Penguins Plus
Departs: Melbourne
While the famous Penguin Parade is the lure to Phillip Island, there is so much more to discover! Visit the furry residents of the Moonlit Sanctuary, soak up the views from Woolamai Surf Beach and stroll on the boardwalk at Nobbies, before catching the little penguin’s black tie gala event in the evening.
