The tour is fantastic. We had a great guide, Sarah, who guided us around the paths and helped us understand the animals and plants. We saw wallabies, koalas, emus, kangaroos and a pademelon which was amazing. It is so great to do with a family. The cafe was good too.

Interesting & informative, Alex took a group of about 10 for our stroll along a walking track which was suitable for all fitness levels and ages. Alex spoke eloquently, with amazing excitement and enthusiasm for someone whose professionalism shone - she had probably done this before & more than once! Friendly and outgoing, she happily pointed out all sorts of intriguing things along the way and patiently answered our questions. I learned a lot - who knew that emus have a stomach called a gizzard for pebbles that they swallow, which assist the breakdown of seeds and twigs? Not me, until now!!! We saw numerous koalas, Pademelon (who were more interested in making more Pademelons than us!), Wallabies, Bush Rats, Emus & a Bandicoot. Time passed quickly , I’d happily do it again, anyday.

Informative and enjoyable walk with an opportunity for many sitings of wildlife. The length of the walk was appropriate and we were given chance to ask questions

The wall was a very enjoyable time for my partner and I, we got to see wallabies, many koalas potaroos and swamp rats. The tour guide Nicole was lovely, very knowledgeable and made the tour exciting for all.

Kristin_S

Our guide was very informative, friendly and knowledgeable. This was our best wildlife tour of this trip. You shouldn’t miss this one if you want to learn a lot and see a lot of animals in the wild.

This was a brilliant experience. We went out on the 5pm tour to maximise our chance of seeing some animals. We were rewarded with seeing koalas, a bandicoot, several pademelons, potoroos, wallaby’s, kangaroos an echidna and an emu. Although this is a reserve, the animals are very much in their natural habitat. Our guide, Nicole was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information. She was friendly and encouraged people in the group to ask questions. This was one of the highlights of our 6 week tour of Australia.

This is a magical place. A beautiful walk through nature with a knowledgeable guide. We saw a male and female emu up close and could hear the distinct noises that each of them made. We saw several koalas. And we learned a lot from our guide. It was a wonderful experience, great for the whole family.

Recently visited the animal sanctuary during our stay at Apollo Bay and had the most amazing time. If you think it is a little expensive it is worth every penny and you are supporting the sanctuary to continue with its fabulous work. We were expertly guided around the site, which is a comfortable walk even though the weather wasn’t too good it made no difference as a poncho was provided along with a headset to hear our guide and binoculars. I felt at ease to ask any questions and had close encounters with all the wildlife which, for me, was simply amazing. When you have finished your tour I would recommend staying for a coffee and homemade cake in the cafe area. All in all, for us, it was a fabulous few hours in an all year round venue.
