Fun night time adventure! - The tour was excellent. We were able to hang out with some lovely kangaroos and hand feed them. Two cuts possums also showed up. Ryan and Mick were excellent and very knowledgeable guides. I also liked learning about the fauna as well. Saw a 400 year old grass tree. Some portion of the fee goes towards conservation of the sanctuary so that is very good. Highly recommend for some different to do.

Book this tour! - Heard about the tour while staying in Dunsborough and was lucky enough to join that night. I'm so glad I did as it was one of the highlights of our visit to Australia!
The guides were fantastic at pointing out and showing us the trees and plants, and at spotting the well hidden wildlife.
Feeding and petting the kangaroos was awesome, but we also saw possums close up as well as bandicoots, Tawny Frogmouth and various spiders which my son loved!
Ryan and Mic made sure everyone was included and their knowledge and passion for the wildlife was infectious.

A magical nocturnal activity. - This was a magical experience. Being up close to animals in the wild was really special. Our children loved it, as did the adults. Ryan and Mick are incredibly knowledgable about the flora and fauna. Learning about the trees and the stars was an added bonus. We would recommend this activity. A lovely evening. Thank you

Best tour ever - Guys book this trip. The boys are great! We learned so much about the plants, saw the starry sky in the forest and got explained. The jungle was seen and perfectly explained.
Seeing the animals at night was a gift.
We feel we know everything about Kangaroos , last night these were trusting. We could feed and pet some.
The possums have also shown.
Many thanks to you Ryan we were emotionally totally charged thanks to you

Bushwalk, Marsupials, and Stars - Ryan and Mick were fantastic tour guides. They were incredibly knowledgeable on a wide range of topics - plants, animals, stars, you know name it! We learned the uses of local plants as we made our way out to the viewing area. We handfed kangaroos, enjoyed the company of possums and bandicoots while enjoying some local tea and homemade biscuits. We ended the night with a bushwalk and stargazing. On the bushwalk they took the time to point out additional local flora and fauna and we were lucky enough to see an owl as we made oue way out to view the stars. That was absolutley magical. We loved all aspects of this tour and will definitely be back to enjoy another one of their tours. 10/10 recommend.

Great guides, great animals, great tour - We saw lots of lovely critters on this tour. Mick and Ryan are great hosts, very professional and knowledgeable about everything we saw including the stars. At the end of the night they went above and beyond helping someone who had a problem with their car. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Wow - Wow just wow! We joined the nocturnal animal tour this evening and it was just fabulous! Loads of super friendly kangaroos which the children loved feeding, cute possums, bandicoots, frogs, scorpions and spiders too. Fantastic tour learning about the local flora and fauna as well as stargazing. The two guides were amazing with our inquisitive children. Would recommend to anyone and we would love to come visit again. Thank you
