Guided tours in Kosciuszko area

Book the kids on a Junior Ranger tour with a NSW National Parks Discovery ranger, or take a guided walk and learn about the cutest alpine species like Mountain Pygmy-possums and billy buttons.

You might prefer to explore the northern end of Kosciuszko National Park at Yarrangobilly and join an Aboriginal culture tour or one of several cave tours. 

We offer experiences for everyone and all abilities — from fun, educational activities for kids to scenic hikes and grounding nature-therapy walks. Immerse yourself in Australia’s Snowy Mountains in a unique way.
