“I’ve been a regular with Aussie Macro Photos for a few years now as I keep renewing my annual pass—it’s such great value. Every tour, day or night, reveals something new. I’ve also joined international photography trips to Sumatra (Indonesia) and the Western Ghats (India), which were exceptionally well organised. In fact, the trips are so good that I joined a second trip to Sumatra and am returning to India as well. Bridgette’s knowledge and passion make every experience unforgettable! There are always many positive comments from fellow travellers; both locally and overseas; about how amazing these tours are, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“This was a fascinating and unique way to enjoy the Cairns Botanical Gardens. We spent more time looking under leaves than at the plants, but it was worth it! Bridgette is an incredible resource of local bug lore and found many critters for us to take photos of. I hired a camera set-up from Bridgette and for a first-timer, I have some amazing macro shots to remind me of a lovely morning spent in nature. Highly recommend Bridgette and her tours. They are great value...from the local knowledge, seamless communication & meet-up, patience with all the questions (even from non-tour members!) and a post-trip field report customized for our tour. Outstanding from start to finish!”

“We arranged a private trip for our family of 10. 4 youngsters aged 2,5,8,11 plus parents and grandparents thoroughly enjoyed our night exploration through the dark and peaceful rainforest. Our particular highlights were 2 Papuan Frogmouths, a possum, a pademelon and a white lipped frog. We saw some amazing spiders - the tent spider being a stand out for me - and learnt lots about them from Bridgette, our guide, who very patiently listened and responded to a stream of questions particularly from 8 year old Luke. He and his older brother were able to use macro cameras, lent by Bridgette, to record some of their sightings. We would highly recommend a night out bugging with Bridgette in Cairns, Australia.”

“Had an absolutely brilliant time with Bridgette on a shrooming walk! I'm a big fungi nerd back in the UK where I'm from, and really wanted to learn about some Aussie species. Usually Bridgette doesn't run these tours during the winter as it's not as an abundant time of the year, but we'd had some rain and I was enthusiastic enough - and we ended up seeing plenty! I can't reccommend these tours enough to anyone who's passionate about fungi, bugs, photography and nature in general! Bridgette is a real expert with a fantastic scope of knowledge and passion.”

“This was such a fun and unique experience. My daughter is really into spiders, and she was absolutely thrilled! We saw so many different kinds of spiders, along with a great variety of other insects and animals. It was such a cool way to experience the environment in a completely different way and it also felt educational without being overwhelming. You could tell Bridgette really knows her stuff. She was also very clear in communication, well-organized, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re even a little bit curious about wildlife.”
