Naturetime Tours

My wife and two young children had a fantastic day touring Francois Peron NP with Janine. She was friendly, knowledgeable, patient with the kids, and great company. Too many highlights to share here, but her knowledge of the park's animals and ecosystem kept us entertained all day, and the wonderful food kept us full. Highly recommended.

Une magnifique journée passée avec Jens dans le François Peron NP. Les paysages était fabuleux et la prestation parfaite. nous avons eu la chance de voir un Thorny Devil Lizard et une multitude d'autres animaux... Merci 1000 fois pour cette journée inoubliable.

We enjoyed an excellent day tour to François Peron National Park with very knowledgeable and amiable Janine, a real hiker and outdoor buff. She took us to beautiful bays (with the typical red cliffs) I had not seen in my previous two self-driven forays into the park, and my girlfriend was happy to have virtually all her questions about plant and animal life answered. We did not see a thorny devil, but that's not really in the power of the guide, and the observed marine life at skipjack point spectacularly made up for it. On a relatively calm wind day, we saw about 15 young sharks directly at the beach, a turtle, huge rays, dolphins in the distance and sparkling schools of fish. Janine is originally German, but has lived on and off in Australia for 25 years, is now a permanent resident and speaks English flawlessly. I personally think the price of A$ 185 per person is somewhat high (there is also very little apparent price competition in Denham, all operators quoted day tours between A$185 and 200), but unfortunately the cost of hiring a vehicle ($299/day at Wicked) is ridiculous. We were out in the park a long time though, and Janine was open to adapting the schedule to our wishes, so including that flexibility, the tour become good value.

We recently took a half day tour to Francois peron park and had the most wonderful morning exploring the surroundings and learning about nature, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area and we walked away feeling very inspired and grateful. 100 % recommended, they only take up to 4 people aswell so it’s a much more personable experience ! Thank you !

We recently (Aug 2021) completed the Burringurrah/Mundatharrda (Kennedy Range/Mt Augustus) tour. We had a marvellous four days with Janine who showed us many wonderful places and trails throughout these ranges.Janine is such a knowledgeable guide and was always happy to answer our many questions about the flora, fauna, history, geology and astronomy of these landscapes.We cannot recommend this tour highly enough and, although we have participated in many nature tours, this trip was beyond our expectations....A TRULY MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. Janine made every effort to ensure our comfort, safety and enjoyment and always had the protection of the environment and its flora/fauna as a priority.Many thanks Janine. Chris and Robyn

We enjoyed a lovely full day in Francois Peron NP with Janine. She is a nice and able guide who takes good care of her clients. We saw and learned a lot about the flora and fauna. Because of her knowledge of the park, we saw animals we did not spot before.

We have booked a tour. One day before I asked about paying via credit card, was not possible. Only cash, very strange in a country who don’t like to pay cash.The weather forecast for our tour says chance of rain and thunderstorm. I asked to cancel the tour, get no answer via eMail.At 8am Jens standing in front of our camper very unfriendly and say that we can not cancel the tour and must pay. After a ridiculous discussion I give him 50AUD. Sad experience....

We booked the full day 4WD tour to Francois Peron NP and we can highly recommend it! Both guids are amazing, knowing so much about the nature and australia itself. The tour is private and it doesn't feel like you are on an actual tourist tour. They really want to show you everything in detail off the common paths. You have plenty of time at every spot and the food is also great!Thanks for the great day :)
