An experience of a lifetime that will mark your stay in Australia
Brisbane Nature Tours offers a range of diverse tours for small and personalised groups. Your guide, Anita, loves to share her extensive knowledge and passion for the environment. You will get the chance to connect with the beautiful nature around you and see the natural world differently.
With tours ranging from tropical rainforests to native wildlife habitats, mangrove forests to sand islands, Brisbane Nature Tours has something for every age, taste, and fitness level. All tours include enough time at stopovers to admire and photograph the environment and its unique inhabitants.
Although I specialize in small and personalised groups, on some of the tours I can facilitate groups larger than 6 people. If you are interested I need to know at least two weeks ahead. I speak three languages. Besides English, I can also do the tours in German or Dutch.
Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or want to book a tour. The best way to contact me is by email: info@brisbanenaturetours.com

Reviews
We had an excellent day with Anita in the rainforest north of Brisbane. Anita has superb knowledge of the area and access to locations that you can't normally get to. The tour was tailored around our restricted walking abilities and the recent weather, which made sure we could both had a lot to look at. Which included a lot of trees, birds, fungi, mist obscured mountains, pademelons, an informative visitor's centre and two dogs that were very disappointed that we weren't staying around longer.

An excellent way of learning about the nature accessible from Brisbane in a day: we are visiting our grandson in Griffin and really appreciate these opportunities to experience wild Australia.

Thank you to Anita for the superb day trip to the Brisbane region (Aguilar National Park). We were delighted to learn about the rainforest and its flora and fauna, and to discover sublime viewpoints!

My husband and I have just spent an amazing day with Anita on her Bribie Island Birdwatching Tour. Knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic, structuring the day around tides, weather, our stamina, where to go for the best opportunities to see the many migrating birds passing through the area, all led to a great experience with a charming lady. We highly recommend Anita and without hesitation would book with her again.

We had an incredible tour yesterday with Anita! She is very knowledgeable about the rainforest and was very accommodating to my mom and me, tailoring the tour based on our energy level/weather for the day. If you’re in Brisbane, definitely book a tour with Anita- you will see so much cool nature and learn a lot!

I had a great outing to North Stradbroke Island with Anita in September 2025. We spotted whales, dolphins, kangaroos, koalas and birds. I always wanted to see wild koalas and was very happy to spot a few on the island. Anita is a great spotter and knowledgable about the history of the island.

Amazing tour-guide, she knows the places and can tell you background information and stories on pretty much all you see or hear!
I did the Bellthorpe Rainforest Tour and it was great to see all the wildlife which is quite different from anything in Europe. If I would have had more time during my stay in Brisbane, I would without hesitation booked another tour with her!
Thank you very much for the day out in the woods 🙂

Anita runs her own company! She puts in a lot of effort. 💪 We went to see wild kangaroos. 🦘 She was able to communicate with them, which was amazing! We also saw lots of migrating birds. The restaurant she recommended was also delicious and a local favorite. I hope she keeps doing better.

We were fortunate to spend three exceptional days with Anita, on a wonderfully well-organized tour. Thanks to her extensive naturalist knowledge, we were able to observe the flora and fauna in their natural habitat, without ever disturbing them. Each area we crossed was presented with clarity and passion, which allowed us to better understand the local ecosystems.
The vehicles used are perfectly suited to the various excursions, including 4x4s when necessary. Safety is always taken into account, with precise explanations of potential risks and the instructions to follow.
I would also like to highlight Anita's friendliness and infectious enthusiasm, which greatly contributed to the quality of our experience.
A big thank you also to David for his personalized welcome to his estate. Despite the language barrier, he generously showed us the small botanical details of his land. Bravo for his commitment to the environment and biodiversity.
Finally, Anita was a great help with the German translation, as we have great difficulty with English. She also arranged our return transfer between the airport and the hotel, despite the access constraints.
Impeccable organization, a respectful approach to nature, and passionate people: we recommend them without hesitation.

It was a wonderful day with Anita. We learned a lot about the local animals and mangroves and had a beautiful look to Moreton and Stradbroke Island. Thanks a lot for this day.
September 2025
I had a wonderful day with Anita at Mount Tambourine. It is a stunningly beautiful area but greatly enhanced by Anita sharing her knowledge of the trees, birds and animals we encountered on our walks. Coffee and cake, then a delicious lunch completed a thoroughly enjoyable and informative day.
