Meeting your friendly local guide at the lake edge, you'll hear stories of natural environment, flora, fauna, fires and floods (and some surprising local history!) as we wander lakeside with binoculars handy for a closer look at the abundant birdlife. Kangaroo sightings are highly likely on this walk, and lakeside is where we're most likely to see them. You might also see stingrays and fish from the lake edge.

Next, via a boardwalk through the bush, you'll visit three fabulously placed look-outs with stunning vistas of lake and coast, before emerging on beautiful Conjola beach.

Walks along the sea shore vary seasonally. You might see whales, dolphins, endangered beach-nesting birds (or surfers catching a break off Green Island). Walking back to the lake over the sand dunes, the tour finishes at the Boat Ramp. Your Guide will escort you back to the tour starting point - or you might want to dive straight into the lake for a swim!

What To Expect

Lake Conjola

Meeting by the lakes edge outside the historic Conjola Post Office & Shop, the route for this guided eco-walk includes lakeside, bush and beach. You'll see an abundance of wildlife including native birds and kangaroos and enjoy stunning vistas from 3 different look-out points. Leaving the beach via a walk over sand dunes - looking out for bird and animal tracks & seasonal plants - we follow the lake edge back to finish near Conjola Entrance boat ramp, with views over to Conjola National Park.

We loved this guided walk with Melinda and Hohepa - it was so interesting and we learned heaps. It is such a beautiful area and it was great to have firsthand input from locals about the fires and also the work done by local environmental groups. We learned about trees, middens and aboriginals, fish, snakes, bush tucker, and lots more! This was besides traversing interesting conversations about Australian culture and some of the parallels between and differences from New Zealand. Their previous experience in the national museum of NZ showed, along with much learning and wisdom. They were on time and good communicators - in fact Melinda put on a tour specially so we could go on one before we left the area.

We had a great day joining this walking sightseeing tour in Conlola. Melinda & Joe are a very friendly person and experience tour guide, they did tell us lots of happening in the local area, this tour takes us almost 90 minutes to complete. We all 12 people had a great time there and take lots of photos. (Tips - For the toilet location is near the Caravan Park from the meeting place or 3 minutes walk to nearby Tennis Courts) As the Fish & Chip shop owners will not be allowed visitors to use it.
Unique tour from a locals' perspective

Great short walking tour at Conjola Lake and beach. We have never been to the area before and the tour was full of insights into local flora and fauna, history of the area and much more. The guides Mel and Joe are locals who are very easy going and share their wealth of knowledge about the region. The tour is run Covid safe (we were just 2 persons on the tour and there is a Covid safe check-in procedure etc.). The area is great to spend the rest of the day there, we explored nearby beaches and can highly recommend to take the time after the tour to explore a bit further or relax at the beach.
Good walking tour

Family of five from Sydney, three children aged 16, 13 and 11, first visit to Lake Conjola. Pleasant stroll around the lake and beach with knowledgable and friendly guides. Recommended.
A must do.

Our favourite part was the history of the area next was learning more about the local fauna and flora. When we asked questions they answered everything. Joe and Belinda are very easy going and delightful to just chat with. My advice for people going on this tour is taking binoculars for sure.
