Tours range from single-day excursions to 10-day multi-destination journeys departing Adelaide or Perth, delivered via small group, private chauffeur, and group charter formats inclusive of transport, guides, meals, and activities.

Australian Wildlife Adventures operates as a unified eco-tour company offering three core experience categories: wildlife tours (swim with sea lions and dolphins, koala encounters, whale watching, kangaroo beach meetings), yoga retreats (departing Perth and Adelaide to Margaret River, Esperance, Adelaide Hills, and Fleurieu Peninsula with glamping or luxury accommodation), and food and wine culinary tours (featuring local seafood, oyster farm tours, vineyard dining). The company manages the Australian Wildlife Adventures brand and its 2021-launched sub-brand Untamed Escapes, which consolidated legacy brands Xplore Eyre and Nullarbor Traveller.
