Have you been dreaming of visiting Queensland Australia for years? Looking for something special for that 'once in a lifetime' trip? Want to see the very best of the World Heritage listed National Park of our country in a friendly group on one of our day tours or overnight Adventures. Then let's talk...

Hi, we're Bushwacker Eco Tours and since the 1990s, we’ve been sharing our favourite holiday spots with visitors to Australia on our small group adventure tours. We grew up here and have been exploring the country since we were kids - and now we've bottled a lifetime of Aussie holiday memories into our tours. From the Greatest Sand Island in the world- Fraser Island, Moreton Island and North Straddie Island to the Outback of Carnarvon Gorge to the Ancient Rainforest of Springbrook and Gold Coast Hinterland, you won’t miss a thing - Lake Mckenzie (top ten best lakes in the world), Snorkel or Kayaking the Shipwrecks of Moreton Island to explore and escape the city with Waterfalls and rainforest hikes - plus a few of our secret spots you may not know so well, but many people tell us they were their favourites.

Travelling in a small group really is the only way to go! You'll never take another large coach tour again.

Bushwacker Eco Tours is a family owned Australian company, started in 1990's and run by Family Team. We offer Private Charter, group tours or both yourself or partner on one of the many tours departing daily

• We're Aussies, we all grew up here and love showing you all our favourites spots from a lifetime of holidays
• Small friendly groups of up to 18 people, making new friends is a big part of the fun
• Personalized and personal. You'll get to know our team and we're happy to help you make your trip extra special
• Relaxed pace of travel with multi night stays throughout the tour
• One of the most important aspects of your experience is the guide. An experienced and friendly guide with exceptional attention to detail can make your Queensland tour unforgettable. All of our Bushwackers guides are highly knowledgeable and passionate about Queensland and Australia. They're ‘quintessential Aussies’ with a great sense of humour, plenty of experience and a warm personality. Whether you're interested in history, flora, fauna or our colourful culture, Bushwacker's expert guides promise to bring Queensland to life.
• Touring with like-minded people from all over the world results in plenty of good times and new friendships. When you’re travelling in a group of twenty or less, you’re bound to meet people with whom you have lots in common, and yet still find it possible to mix and mingle with everybody during meal times. Activities like feeding the dolphins, wildlife encounters with dingos and stories around the campfire are so much more enjoyable when you're sharing the moment with new friends.
• A Flexible Schedule on large-group coach tours, itineraries are often confined to a tight and rigid schedule, leaving no opportunities for flexibility or surprises. Enjoying your time soaking in your very own lake without the crowd? Let’s stay a little while longer! Are there plenty of cheeky kangaroos and emus on our way through Carnarvon Gorge National Park? Take your time with photographs to ensure you get the perfect shot. With a small group, we don’t like to hurry – after all, you are on vacation.
• Take time to Explore, Escape and Discover, Small groups see more nature and have bigger adventures
