Eco Tours

Stirling Range Retreat offers Hidden Treasure Eco Tours all year round.
From 15th August through to 31st October, we invite you to celebrate spring in the National Heritage listed Stirling Range National Park on a Hidden Treasures Orchid and Wildflower Tour.
Discover the splendour of our local bird life on a Hidden Treasure Dawn or Dusk Bird Walk from mid September to 31st October.
Important information
'))
As the weather is often changeable, we recommend you bring a weatherproof jacket, strong shoes with non-slip soles, long trousers, a long-sleeved shirt and a hat.
Consider bringing your camera, a magnifier, binoculars, field guides, a notebook and a pen.
If we use bush trails, we encourage our guests to stay on well-pounded kangaroo trails. Kangaroos travel single file and so will the group to minimise damage to habitat.
As all wildlife here is free to come and go as it pleases, we cannot guarantee sightings.
Visitors are welcome to join all Hidden Treasure tours.
Bookings are essential for all tours.

More than 80 bird species have been recorded for Stirling Range Retreat, including the rare Crested Shrike-tit and Carnaby's Black-cockatoo. Bush birds show off their stunning breeding plumage in spring, and the conserved environment in both the Retreat and the adjacent Stirling Range National Park provide habitat and nesting sites for a large variety of species.

Walks are led by volunteer Birds Australia leaders, who with Stirling Range Retreat donate one hundred percent of the tariff for all bird activities to Birds Australia WA to help preserve habitat for threatened species. The Hidden Treasure Bird Walks are limited to eight participants.
Cost: $20 per person
