A perfect night with the animals

5.00A unique opportunity to see animals at night with a guide born and raised on the island who knew exactly where to go! After three days of searching and seeing only one kangaroo, we went with Colin after dark and he found them all. Kangaroos, wallabies, possum, koalas, penguins… it was the best tour ever and the absolute highlight of our trip!
Lots of wildlife!

5.00Colin was wonderful. He personalized the trip and answered all our questions. We saw many kangaroos and wallabies. Loved the local wallabies! But the koalas were the best. Saw two with youngsters! It was quite windy and Colin still found 2 penguins. Along the way, 4 possums and an echinda. We had a great time.
Super recommended

5.00We got lucky, as our family was the sole customer on this trip. Mr. Childs was a very friendly guide who shared a lot of information and took us to places where we could see Dolphins come out in the night— got to see an abundant number of Kangaroos, Wallabies, and Koalas too. Overall, a very satisfying experience.
Absolutely recommend

5.00So amazing to see koalas, kangaroos, and wallabies in the wild! The secret koala spot was amazing! The most adorable animal was the fairy penguins though. Great guide too.
A wonderful experience!

5.00The meeting point is in front of a closed shop, but don't worry that the tour will be there. They recovered us on time at the agreed hours and we toured the island in some tactical places where we saw kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, possums, echidnas and penguins! The very kind and helpful guide, on the way back took us directly to the hotel. Highly recommended
Very good tour

5.00Had to wait until I got home so I could sort out my pictures, but I truly enjoyed this great experience - we saw kangaroos, wallabies (with babies in their pouches), koalas, fairy penguins. So much fun seeing the animals running around out in the open and not in a zoo. The tour guide was great too - he knew exactly where to go and added a lot of interesting background. Really recommend this excursion!
