Wait a While Tours specialized in day/night tours. It is magical to be involved in seeing a wild animal unrestricted in its natural environment in the rainforest. We often see platypus, birds, possums, tree kangaroos, gliders, frogs, owls, reptiles, various invertebrates and other animals on our tours. As a lot of rainforest animals are nocturnal, a night element and spotlighting with a knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide is the best way to see them.
