Join your NPWS guide for a gently-paced guided spotlighting adventure through the unique subtropical coastal rainforest in Sea Acres National Park. You’ll meander through the rainforest mid-storey in search of the rarely seen creatures who emerge for the night shift.

As you make your way along the elevated boardwalk, follow the beam of the guide’s spotlight and keep watch for some of the park’s nocturnal wildlife, including gliding microbats, elusive possums and owls hunting silently overhead. Down on the forest floor and in the understorey, join in the search for creatures going about their night-time routines.

Bring a torch, lace up your sturdy footwear and step into an after-dark rainforest experience that’s both intimate and unforgettable.
