About Us


Our philosophy is simple. We believe that these wild places deserve long-term protection and that the most direct way to achieve this is through education. By experiencing the wonders of the wet tropics, we hope to inform, delight and inspire you to ensure that it remains just as it is. 

Flexible in nature, our excursions provide one of the very best opportunities to observe some of Australia's most elusive, unusual and unique wildlife by visiting up to nine different habitats, from reef to rainforest. Excursions are led by Jonathan Munro and are tailored to the specific interests of individuals and groups: from half or single day to several days or longer in duration, either intensive or conducted at a more leisurely pace.

Born in England, Jonathan has extensive experience leading birdwatching, nocturnal wildlife spotlighting and rainforest excursions in far North Queensland. Since 1987, he has led over 3000 excursions into the highland rainforest to observe nocturnal wildlife. His international clients include Audubon Societies, BBC natural history, museum, university, zoo and alumni groups, photographic groups, film crews, bird clubs, travel agents, families and individuals. 

Jonathan has traveled extensively to observe wildlife in Africa, Borneo, China, Mongolia, USA, Canada, the Arctic, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia and Europe. In addition, he has worked as a biologist for the Australian Parks and Conservation Service and for organizations concerned with wildfowl and wetlands conservation and captive breeding programs for rare and endangered species.
