Lovely experience seeing so many beautiful little animals that we’ll never see elsewhere, and learn some fun knowledge about them too!
There were only my husband and myself on the night tour and it was excellent. Our guide, Bronte, was very informative and certainly knew her stuff. We had head torches with red light so could see where we were going and also any wildlife. We saw an abundance of betongs and lots of bandicoots, several echidnas and a bilby. The animals weren't too bothered by our presence and were more interested in the food provided for them. Bronte noticed that one of the bandicoots had a problem with one of its feet and was able to catch it, no mean feat in the dark, and took it back to be checked. All in all a very enjoyable tour.
We enjoyed seeing the nocturnal animals, guide was informative.
I don’t have anymore to say thank you

We so enjoyed this tour ... as we visited out of season, there were just the two of us with guide Greg and zoologist Renée. We felt so lucky. You do have to book this tour, which runs on alternate days during the week, and it takes about an hour, plus extra time for answering questions. You walk on paved paths through a large area which is fenced off ... so the animals are not totally “in the wild”, but means you will see them. The little mala wallabies in particular would not survive outside the enclosure now, as they are way too friendly to feral cats and marauding dogs and foxes. So, we saw lots of animals, including a fight between a burrowing beettong and a brush-tailed one, over a very cute female ... very unusual behaviour which interested our guide too. We also spotted bilbies and golden bandicoots. Both Greg and Renée were extremely knowledgable. All our photos came out very red, of course, but with technology you can take out the colour for some wonderful black-and-w
