A 7-day birding and wildlife tour through the wild and remote Cape York Peninsula - a must see for all nature lovers and birders. We travel in comfortable 4x4 vehicles with only three guests and one guide per vehicle, ensuring window seating for all passengers.
Cape York has two true endemic birds - Golden-shouldered Parrot and White-streaked Honeyeater - which we hope to find. There are many other range-restricted bird species, including Spotted Whistling-duck, Palm Cockatoo, Eclectus Parrot, Red-cheeked Parrot, Yellow-billed Kingfisher, Spotted Catbird, Frill-necked Monarch, Trumpet Manucode and Magnificent Riflebird.
The region also provides an opportunity of seeing other bird species that occur more widespread, like Red Goshawk, Sarus Crane, Bridled Tern, Lesser Frigatebird, Beach Stone-curlew, Eastern Grass Owl, Marbled Frogmouth, several fruit-doves and honeyeaters, and Black-throated and Star Finch.
