Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Tasmania and prepare for the night safari
Your adventure begins with arrival in Tasmania, one of the most environmentally friendly islands in the world. Your guide will take you to the camp, where you will be met and given an overview of the night safaris. You will receive all the necessary instructions and equipment to safely travel into the Tasmanian interior. In the evening, after a dinner with local delicacies, you will set off by jeep for the first part of the night safari. The sun sets and the most exciting journey begins.
Day 2: Night Safari in the Tasmanian Jungle
The first night route will take you into the heart of the rainforests, where the rarest and most dangerous representatives of the local fauna become active at night. Here you will observe Tasmanian devils, which make characteristic sounds and hunt at night. They live in the most remote corners of the island, and you will have the opportunity to see them in their natural habitat. You will also have the opportunity to see nocturnal predators - such rare species as night owls and wild cats.
In addition to predators, you will encounter nocturnal winged creatures. Unique species of bats, which are not found anywhere else in the world, easily cover long distances, traveling through the jungle and mountain peaks. Your guide will tell you about the behavior of these amazing creatures and their importance to the Tasmanian ecosystem.
Day 3: Flora exploration and night plant observation
The second day of the safari will give you the opportunity not only to see rare animals, but also to soak up the atmosphere of the nocturnal flora. Botanists will tell you about plants that reveal their secrets only at night, when unique processes of flowering and pollination occur. You will pass by amazing plants, such as poisonous night orchids and rare species of ferns that have the ability to glow in the dark. This is an unforgettable experience when plants begin to "live" at night, revealing their unusual and mystical features.
Day 4: Night safari and exploration of the island's ecosystem
The next stage of the tour immerses you in even more mysterious corners of Tasmania. This will be a journey through wastelands and deep gorges, where you will meet unique species of animals, such as rare marsupials and even night snakes. During this trip, you will use night scopes and infrared cameras to ensure you don’t miss a single moment, and you will also have the opportunity to take part in exploratory research aimed at preserving the island’s ecosystem.
Your guide will take you through protected areas, explaining the ecological importance of each animal you will see, as well as the importance of each plant to the local ecosystems. Local scientists working in the field will share information about their research and how they help preserve wildlife in their natural environment.
Day 5: Conclusion and Departure
On the final day of the tour, you will go on a final night excursion, which will allow you to relive the full experience of night observation. This will be a time to personally interact with your guide and ask questions about everything you have seen, as well as share your experiences with other safari participants. The final dinner under the stars will be the highlight of the trip - in the open air, around the campfire, there will be an exchange of experiences, a story about how the nature of Tasmania influences the culture and traditions of its indigenous people.
In the evening, you will go to the airport, but this night will remain with you forever. This tour is not just a journey through the wild nature, it is an opportunity to see Tasmania through the eyes of the nocturnal inhabitants and become part of the ecosystem of this mysterious island.
