It's a great way to enjoy some of the benefits of a group trip, while creating your own Mallacoota adventure and going at your own pace.

A local's glimpse into a hidden paradise
Mallacoota offers an extraordinary variety of habitats in a remarkably small area. Estuary, wetlands, coastal heath, woodland and forest all come together here, creating opportunities for an impressive range of birdlife.
And because I've called Mallacoota my second home for 17 years, my curated map and app with over 20 locations takes you beyond the obvious places to some of my favourite locations and less-known corners of the area.
Special access and local experiences
The highlights of the week will be joining Dale from Mallacoota Cruises for 2 boat trips across the estuary and into the upper reaches of the Mallacoota Inlet.
We'll be seeking the elusive Black Bittern, a species that can be notoriously difficult to find, while enjoying the spectacular scenery of the estuary along the way.
We'll also be visiting Dale's private Wallagaraugh River property, where we'll look for Southern Emu-wrens, kingfishers and birds of prey that frequent this remote location.
Plus a 3rd 'mystery trip' Dale and I will decide on to suit the conditions at the time.
These unique experiences are difficult to replicate on your own. They're part of what makes this tour a little different.
Plenty of time to explore at your own pace
The beauty of this tag-along tour is you can get out as often or as little and you like and look for the birds that you like to find and photograph, whether it's migratory birds or those elusive forest dwellers.
With over 20 locations on my curated map, plus field notes with additional guidance, the choice is yours when and where you'd like to go.
We'll be getting together for two social dinners, plus the 3 fantastic trips with Dale, and a daytime workshop where I'll be sharing my processes and best tips for elevating your bird photography.
