Absolutely loved it! - We visited wildlife wonders with our kids 13 and 15, and an international exchange student. We absolutely loved it. It is a not for profit, so all $ goes to research and supporting the wildlife. Our guide, Sophie is a highly qualified scientist who provided us with a lot of very interesting knowledge about the animals and environment. We saw koalas, pademelons, wallabies, emus, and kangaroos. It is such a beautiful sanctuary too, with gorgeous views. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant afternoon, well worth a visit. - What a fantastic afternoon!! Three days before our tour we were emailed with a weather warning that our tour may need to be moved due to high winds. After some very prompt emails from Wildlife Wonders there was a confirmed change to the date and time, and we are so glad they could accommodate us. The tour was amazing, Sophie our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. She was able to answer all our group's questions and shared excellent facts about both the animals and habitats. We felt enough time was spent in each area to fully appreciate the flora and fauna without feeling rushed. Sophie also shared wider local knowledge of wildlife and her advice was spot on. Thank you to all the team, what a fantastic afternoon.

A must for any animal lovers and conservation conscious travelers - Highlight of our Great Ocean Road trip was Wildlife Wonders! Sasha was our guide and she was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and informative. We had a great time learning about the conservation efforts, controlled burns to promote good land management and promote native plant growth and looking for animals which we saw so many!!! Our trip to Australia would not have been complete had we not taken this tour.air sure you don’t miss this tour!!

Fantastic walk amongst Australian Flora and Fauna with a well guided conservationist on a stunning bushland property . - As a large group comprising of multiple families with toddlers through to seniors we enjoyed a wonderful, leisurely stroll amongst the Australian Flora and Fauna indigenous to the Cape Otway area. Erin, our guide was very knowledgeable and patient with the many questions from the kids. Afterwards we enjoyed a lovely lunch at the cafe. Will certainly recommend to family and friends.

Very much worth a look - Wonderful tour. We understood that seeing animals could be a bit unpredictable but we ended up seeing quite a lot of different animals and birds. The guide was very knowledgeable and genuinely excited when espying something new. Highly recommended and would go again, next time possibly on the dawn tour.

A super experience! - We really enjoyed our visit with a very knowledgeable guide. It was nice to see various animals we hadn't seen before, but also to hear more about their behaviour and habitat. A hightlight for us on the Great Ocean Road, so we thoroughly recommend.

Great Place to get close to wildlife - What a lovely place. We had a tour with Zoe, she was excellent she knew her stuff and provided a nice touch of humour. She also kept our group in check when someone went off the track for a photograph! The area is brilliant loads of wildlife to spot and nice w shade a chance to spot before Zoe helped us out. Would highly recommend as an essential stop if doing the Great Ocean Road or in Apollo Bay.

Only ok but over priced. - We felt that this tour was over priced for the animals that you saw. Emus, wallabies and Kangaroos were observed as well as several Koalas were very high in the trees. Our guide did a great job but for almost $60 each, not good value. Half that would be appropriate.
