Set off early from Hobart for an inspiring full-day birding experience. Travel through the scenic Channel region to Bruny Island—one of Tasmania’s most biodiverse hotspots. Your first stop is the Inala Private Nature Reserve, a sanctuary for rare and endangered species. With a specialist guide, explore its diverse habitats on a private walking tour. Discover all 12 of Tasmania’s endemic birds, and from a specially designed canopy platform, observe one of the largest colonies of the endangered Forty-spotted Pardalote. Keep your eyes skyward—you may spot raptors such as the Wedge-tailed Eagle (Tasmanian subspecies) or the elusive white morph Grey Goshawk. After a lunch in a local restaurant view bay views return to the mainland for a private visit to the Raptor Refuge, Tasmania’s premier raptor rehabilitation centre. On a personal “Walk & Talk” tour, meet some of the island’s most powerful birds—eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls—up close. Wander through tranquil bushland, step inside the largest flight aviary in the southern hemisphere and explore the interactive education centre.
