WE ARE SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE

Hello !
Welcome to Coates ECO & NATURE Tours

Coates Wildlife Tours is family-owned and the first company in Western Australia to offer authentic natural history tours over such a vast area. Since our foundation in 1986 by naturalist, Kevin Coate, we have delivered inspiring natural history tours and wildlife encounters in Western Australia and beyond.

As part of our personalised approach to travel, we only take small groups (6 – 12 passengers) and our itineraries are meticulously planned and flexible to allow you time to pursue your own wildlife passions. Our aim is to have you come home, more inspired, more connected and more rejuvenated from your experience with Coates.
