Great tour, with a number of animal sightings. Very interesting commentary and overall a good experience .

Bridget_S

Had an amazing time. I've been travelling over australia for months and this is in the top 5 list of things I've done. The guides were so knowledgable and friendly. And the animals were everywhere and gorgeous. You can really tell they are cared for and looked after as well. 15/10. Adored it.

We had a fantastic tour led by two excellent and knowledgeable guides (Krista and Tam, I think). We had marvellous experiences of seeing malas, bilbies, bettongs and echidna. The way the evening is set up, you feel as though you are discovering these creatures rather than it feeling like a zoo. Our guides were great and managed to convey masses of really interesting information - their enthusiasm and passion was a delight. The Desert Park is doing excellent work. Highly recommended!

We went in small groups with animals keepers carrying red lightsnot to frighten the animals. We walk for about an hour in the dedicated zone and our guided pointed to us the small marsupials and echidnas, and told them lots of info. Photos without flash are permitted. These turn out well when converted to black and white. Most animals kept in this reserve are species that are becoming extinct and that you would normally not see in the zoos.

The commentary was excellent. I was excited to see so many different animals, some of which are no longer found in the wild

Sarah_H

Such a great experience. Krista our guide was fantastic. She told us all about the animals in the park, of which we saw so many. The Echidnas were adorable, as we're the Bilbies, plus so many more I can't remember the names of. So much fun. Highly recommend!

The Nocturnal Tour is a wonderful opportunity to experience what Australian wildlife used be like before introduced species shrunk the populations of our native nocturnal wildlife. These animals get to live in a natural environment protected from predators and we get to witness them. Well worth the additional price adding on to a Desert Park day park.

Walking amongst the (night) creatures was just wonderful. We saw lots of animals too, which we were surprised of!

Kelly_S

Well worth visiting, and if you’re lucky enough you will have an echidna at your feet . Great family experience

Great adventure, knowledgeable guides and lots of fun. We were there on a night when a bit storm when through. Rain, lightning and thunder but the show must go on. Once you got past being a bit damp it was well worth a visit. Animals where amazing
