What to expect
You'll set out on foot through open bushland with your guide, moving at a gentle pace suitable for most abilities. Koala spotting is the main event—your guide knows where to look and will point out behaviour and habits as you encounter them. Expect to stop frequently for close observation and photography. Along the way, your guide shares information about native plants and, seasonally, invites you to sample edible bush foods. The walk takes 50 minutes, so it's unhurried and conversational rather than exhausting.
