Koala Trail - Raymond Island (2 Day / 1 Night)

Discover one of Australia's best places to see wild koalas up close on this peaceful two-day journey through the Gippsland Lakes and Mitchell River National Park.

Your adventure begins on Raymond Island. Known as the Koala Island, this natural sanctuary is home to a thriving wild koala population living freely on the island. You'll enjoy a guided walk along the Koala Trail, where sightings are frequent and photo opportunities abound. After the Koala Trail, continue with a leisurely stroll along the island's foreshore, taking in tranquil lake views and keeping an eye out for black swans, pelicans, and other native birdlife that call the wetlands home.

On day two, travel via the scenic Mitchell River Silt Jetties, one of the world's longest natural silt formations before arriving at Mitchell River National Park. Here, enjoy a bushwalk to Nargun's Den, a place of great cultural significance to the Gunaikurnai people, surrounded by forest and ancient rock formations.

This experience blends wildlife, nature, and culture, offering an intimate glimpse into the landscapes, stories, and species that make East Gippsland truly special.
