The Cooee Tours Story

The story of Cooee Tours began with a group of mates who loved the great outdoors so much, we wanted to share it with everyone.

We were part of the Gold Coast Bush Walkers, spending our weekends hiking rugged trails, abseiling down cliffs, rock climbing, camping under the stars, cycling through rainforests, and exploring waterways in canoes, outriggers, and cruisers. The outdoors wasn't just our playground — it was our way of life.

One night, gathered around a campfire in the middle of nowhere — the sky full of stars and a couple of cold ones in hand — someone threw out an idea that stuck: "What if we could bring this feeling, this freedom, to everyone?"

And just like that, Cooee Tours was born.

The name "Cooee" comes from the traditional bush call — a long, echoing "Coooo-ee!" used to let others know where you are. It's a call that connects people across the distance. That's exactly what we wanted our tours to do — to connect people with nature, with Australia, and with each other.

It hasn't all been smooth sailing. We've made mistakes — plenty of them — but every one has taught us something valuable. We've worked with different partners along the way, faced challenges, and learned that building something real takes grit, patience, and heart.

Through it all, we've stayed true to what matters most: making adventures fun, genuine, and open to everyone — young, old, or people living with disabilities. Because the spirit of adventure shouldn't have limits.

These days, we're proud to work with some of the best in the world — but our heart will always belong to Australia. Our main focus remains here at home, showcasing the beauty, people, and wild places that make this country so special. Still, the Cooee spirit travels far, and we now run tours across New Zealand and other destinations around the world for everyone to enjoy.

So when you travel with Cooee Tours, you're not just joining a tour — you're joining a story. Our story. And we can't wait to share the next chapter with you.

Cooee! Let's explore together.
