Experts in Sydney eco tours

Australia By Nature was founded in 2024 by Caroline Rutherford, a seasoned nature guide with over 20 years of experience in the tourism industry. 

Her deep connection to nature and commitment to sustainable tourism led her to establish a tour company that offers immersive, luxury experiences in Sydney's diverse landscapes.

At Australia By Nature, we specialise in crafting bespoke, Sydney ecotours that connect our guests with the natural beauty of Sydney. 

Our small-group and private tours are designed for discerning travellers seeking authentic, high-end experiences.

We operate in partnership with Aboriginal-owned companies like Bush To Bowl to ensure authentic cultural interpretations on our tours.

Our mission is to provide transformative journeys that foster a deeper connection between visitors and the environment, promoting responsible eco-tourism practices that benefit both the land and its people.

Whether you're exploring the iconic Blue Mountains, discovering hidden coastal gems, or immersing yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the region, Australia By Nature offers unparalleled luxury experiences tailored to your preferences.

Our team continues to grow with new tour guides that share our own values and love of storytelling whilst protecting our beautiful places.

Sustainable Tourism

at the Heart of Everything We Do:

We're not just passionate about nature — we're committed to protecting it.

Australia By Nature is an accredited NSW Parks Eco Pass tour operator.

We proudly donate $5 from every tour to Greenfleet to help restore native forests and offset carbon emissions and $5 from every tour to Hills Wildlife Sanctuary a non-profit organisation that rescues, rehabilitates and cares for injured and orphaned native Australian wildlife.

With our Aboriginal nature tours in Sydney, our aim is to preserve culture and connection to the land whilst bringing awareness to the rich 65,000+ year-old Aboriginal heritage of Australia.

We work with the wonderful team at Bush To Bowl and collaborate with their guides to bring cultural knowledge into our tours.
