Sunset Tours

Join us for a sunset tour inside one of Australia’s largest and longest-running predator-proof reserves. This experience offers a rare chance to explore a working conservation reserve. Get up close to conservation in action and see what it takes to bring species back from the brink of extinction.

Sunset Tours run for approximately 2.5 hours and operate on Fridays from April to October, with additional Wednesday tours during school holiday periods. If you would like to book a tour outside of scheduled Fridays, please contact us. Additional tours may be arranged subject to availability.

Joining a Sunset Tour directly supports Arid Recovery’s conservation and research programs. The tour fees help with research, reserve management, on-ground monitoring, and protecting threatened species.

What to expect

• A small-group, guided conservation experience through the desert landscape led by Arid Recovery ecologists

• Insight into threatened species recovery, ecosystem recovery, feral-predator exclusion and long-term research

• Walking on sand dunes and uneven and unpaved terrain, up to 3 km in total. Accessible tour options may be available upon request to help accommodate individual needs.

• Spotlighting after dark to search for nocturnal wildlife
