We really loved this tour. It was nice to visit this lovely sanctuary and also a nice brisk stop at Brighton beach. A great option for those wanting to get up close with animals and interact with a few of them. Our guide was really informed and shared some really great information with us!
Love the sanctuary! But as any place with animal feeding- it depends on how hungry they are. We were lucky to go early when they were.
Very nice experience with our very considerate guide, Josh, who made sure we were well informed and comfortable.
Great experience! Josh was a wealth of knowledge. We booked the extra koala encounter and it was well worth it!
Great, quick tour. The beach boxes were neat to see and the sanctuary was fun. Josh was a fantastic guide! I would come back just to take another tour with him.
I had an amazing experience on this tour! The Brighton Beach Boxes were beautiful and a great place to take photos, and the wildlife sanctuary was definitely the highlight of the day. Seeing kangaroos and koalas up close was unforgettable. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the day fun while sharing interesting facts about the places we visited. Everything was well organized, the transportation was comfortable, and we had enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne who wants to experience some of Australia’s most iconic sights and wildlife in a single day. Thank you for a fantastic experience!
Great half day out, our guide Sarah was great! She gave us loads of information and showed us around the sanctuary.
Today , and this excursion was one of the highlights of our trip for my husband and I. We ended up with a private tour with Bert , as we were the only ones signed up! Short stop to see the colorful beach boxes, then on to Moonlit Sanctuary. A quick orientation then on our own for yhe rest. Make sure you get kangaroo food...they come right up to you...and sign up for the koala experience...you get to pet the Koala and take as many pictures as you want. Much more to see as well, a great day...and guide!
Convenient, on-time pickup & drop-off. Elli was our guide, good driver and interesting commentary. Clear weather made for great photos of Brighton Boxes. Moonlight was a delight: thoughtfully designed and a great opportunity to see our Aussie faves in the morning hours when the are more active. Highly recommended.
We had a great day with Fred! He was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Hanging out with kangaroos and wallabies was the highlight of our day. Highly recommend!
