Our second stay in 3 years was as enjoyable as the first thanks to Tonia and her wonderful team. We booked a day long Bruny tour and a night tour. Both were fantastic. Dr Andrew Hingston found us many birds including the critically endangered Swift Parrot and on the night tour we were ducking short-tailed shearwaters (mutton birds) and finding Eastern Quolls that are no longer found on Australia’s mainland. A moment to remember on our day tour was finding a bathing pink robin (in all his bright colours). The tours on their own are fantastic but staying on the property gives you access to a much fuller experience

Thank-you so much for your lovely review! We are always humbled when guests return and it is our hope that with the continuing improvements we do on the private Inala Reserve that there will be something new for you to see and enjoy, whenever you may visit. It sounds as though your full day and night tour were ones to remember, and you picked the perfect time of year for an immersive Short-tailed shearwaters experience! Dr Andrew is one of our wonderful, passionate guides, and booking a tailored Inala tour is the best way to tap into their wealth of local knowledge and better understand where the Inala Reserve sits in the local Bruny Island (and wider) conservation spectrum. Having a guide also allows you to return to areas of interest to continue observing nature at your leisure, and we're thrilled that you found opportunities to do this on the Inala property. We look forward to welcoming you back again and again! Many thanks,

I had a 3 hours tour of this wonderful environment. I throughly enjoyed my time with Cat. I would highly recommended anything to do with Inala as I really believed appreciated there philosophy and commitment to the local area.

During our three day stay at Inala we treated ourselves to a one day guided tour. Our guide was Cat Davidson.

Our tour exceeded our expectations. It was a wonderful experience.

We were amazed by Cat’s passion for the environment, her knowledge of bird calls and her ability to locate even the smallest birds, often in thick forest.

We were treated to all of the Tasmanian endemic birds, the critically endangered swift parrot and many other sought after species including the Pink and Scarlet Robin, Beautiful Firetail and Yellow-tailed black cockatoo.

We also learned a great deal about the effects of climate change and loss of habitat.

Our tour with Cat would have been great value at double the price. Take the trip of a lifetime - you will not regret it.

I have booked a two-day tour with Inala with an Overnight stay in the reserve. I’ve got a customised tour with the guide, Dr Catherine Young who has immense knowledge about native birds and animals, as a bird enthusiast myself, it was so easy to have a conversation with Dr Young, I’ve learned a lot more about the native birds and their behaviours especially the Raptors, I can recommend Inala to any nature and bird enthusiast and I myself wouldn't mind going birding again with Inala.
You guys are amazing!
Special Thanks to Cat for booking and coordination.

Thank you so much for booking with Inala Nature Tours. We are always very proud to show visitors around this very special property and tailor the guiding experience to your area of interest. Catherine Young is certainly very knowledgeable and passionate about the birds and wildlife on Bruny Island and elsewhere. It is wonderful to hear that the tour has expanded your understanding of the bird species here, particularly the Raptors. We look forward to your return to Inala!

Despite the rain on Wednesday the property walk at Inala was amazing. The birds, wildlife, fungi and flowers will keep you wanting to come back again and again. Cat, our guide was wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable. Worth every cent!!

Thank you for visiting Inala. As you say, a wonderful experience at Inala is not necessarily weather dependant. The habitat that we protect here creates a place where the natural world can safely thrive. There is so much to see here with our expert guides like Cat and we appreciate your kind words. Come back anytime.
