About Us
Treeswift Wildlife & Nature
Treeswift Wildlife & Nature was first dreamt up by owners Jack Nguyen and Trinh Nguyen in early 2019. Beginning with wildlife watching tours in Viet Nam, Australia, and even North America, the dream was put on hold as Covid-19 began to rock the globe, closing borders, rescheduling tours, and even forcing a full-time relocation to Australia.
After persevering through lockdowns and travel bans, Treeswift Wildlife finally kicked back into gear at the end 2021, more ready than ever. Now settled in Australia’s second largest city, Treeswift Wildlife is helping people get back in touch with nature, running outings for mammals, birds, flora, fungi, wildlife photography tours, and everything in between.
Supported by a rock-solid and passionate team of multi-lingual guides, educators, and local experts, Treeswift Wildlife & Nature has an exciting journey ahead and hopes that you can be a part of it.
