PERSONAL
BIRDING TOUR FEES
FOR 2026
Spring/early summer bookings: due to the high demand of our services from September to December there will be no exclusive
bookings — we will take up to three birders, or four birders if they all happen to be friends or at a pinch. It may be that no one else
is looking for your dates, in which case you will have the booking on
your own. Outside and inside of that timeframe, AOS is willing to have birders
join forces to save costs. Please indicate that you are happy to have
others join you when booking. If you would prefer to have an exclusive
booking (outside the spring timeframe) please indicate that you would
prefer others not to join you. However, it is at AOS's discretion as to whether one or two other birders join
an already booked date.
See
fees below for shared costs.

One
day’s birding plus spotlighting for plains-wanderers, quail, native
mammals etc: $810.00 AUD
Thereafter the cost is:
AUD $651.00* per day if birding in the Deniliquin district.
AUD $822.00* per day in areas outside of the Deniliquin district, e.g.,
Chiltern, Ouyen etc.
AUD $600.00* if going out just for an evening. Usual starting time is 5 pm during the daylight saving period and 4 pm outside that timeframe.
*
The cost can be shared by up to three birders. For example, $810 AUD
(day and evening tour, Deniliquin) if shared by three birders is $270 AUD
per person. A fourth birder also pays 270 AUD.
Motel
charges and food are not included in the above costs. Clients will need
to pay for the guide's accommodation and meals when away from Deniliquin.
In country NSW and Victoria, the cost for a three-star motel is roughly $140.00 AUD to $170 AUD.
An all-inclusive price can
be organised.
Suggested accommodation: The Riverside
Caravan/Cabin Park has a range of cabins as well as areas for vans and camping
(Tel + 61 (0) 3 58811 284). E-mail: info@riversidecaravanpark.com.au
Payment: For small personal tours (1-9 days), payment is due when booking.
Overseas
clients: EFT (wire transfer) is our preferred method of payment.
Contact AOS for account details for an EFT.
Meals: Unlike our away-from-the-Deniliquin-district scheduled tours, such as Far North Queensland, Central Australia etc, meals are not provided on personal tours. However, meals can be organised for larger birding tour groups, or small personal tours of five or more days. Contact Patricia if your tour requires catering.
