Expert knowledge of the region's flora and fauna helps award-winning specialist guide, Luke Paterson and team of guides, find guests their target species and experiences. Luke's attention to detail and amazing ability to spot wildlife has earned him a reputation for having 'hawk-eyes'.

The small group tours and private charters offer unique views of wildlife, rock art and brilliant photographic opportunities in iconic national parks and cultural landscapes of remote northern Australia. They visit major habitats represented by the tropical outback and explore them by vehicle, boat and on foot, searching for endemic, rare and migratory birds and other tropical life.
