    Just sitting there and having the animals coming up to us and interacting amongst themselves in a natural way was a nice experience. Ryan & Mick are very knowledgeable about the subjects history, life cycle and environment. If you would like to see rare marsupials in their native environment displaying their true characteristics then this is the tour.

    Knowledgeable hosts!

    Friendly and knowledgeable! We got to see quite a few animals and insects, and lots of new understanding of the wildlife on the tour. And we had a surprise star-gazing session and an introduction to stars and satellites!

    Ryan and Mick are very professional and warm-hearted. They attract many animals coming to us. They teach us nocturnal animal food and living habits, and some typical plants usage and history. We are not native speaker, so they try to explain in many different ways. We enjoy!

    A memorable experience for all 4 of us

    Swimming near dolphins, listening to the helpers knowledge of the Dolphins and observing their care for these wonderful creatures.

    Great Experience

    The sun had just set when we arrived at the destination. Local boys Mick and Ryan were very knowledgeable about the native flora and fauna, regularly giving us interesting commentary. After a short walk, we arrived at a viewing spot. Food was scattered around and not long afterwards we heard movement. Bandicoots, possums and kangaroos all scurried out from the bush. We got up close and personal with them, yet being respectful of their space. Many other other creatures as well as endemic plants were also sighted on the trip. It is important to note that I dragged my partner along who is not really into this type of stuff but they were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Would highly recommend.

    Love the fuzzies

    The tour guides are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. It's a very interesting and intimate setting which will enthrall all who attend. To top it off, the supper was delicious too!

    Awesome experience

    Cannot recommend highly enough. The guides were top notch, very informative and genuinely keen to support ongoing conservation. To see a possum with baby clutching to her back was a highlight. From start to finish 10+ Out of 10.

    Out of the ordinary.

    Awesome Night Adventure

    Samantha_T, Apr 2021
    Mick and Ryan were excellent tour hosts. They were welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and provided a fascinating, educational and hands-on experience. The tour included feeding and petting kangaroos; observing possums, bandicoots, woylies and spiders; and listening to frogs, all within a beautiful bush sanctuary, designed to protect the critically endangered Woylie. Thank you so much, guys! My daughter and I loved it!
