Magical and immersive experience in the Otways! - Saw my DREAM animal: an echidna!!!!!!! I was blown away by such an immersive experience, not only you get to see animals but you also smell the eucalyptus, feel the ocean’s breeze and hear the bird’s calls. Truly magical, thank you to our tour guide Nicole!!

100% Recommendation!!! - It was a wonderful experience. We had the 18:30 tour, which started with a very delicious dinner. In doing so, already seen an emu family with 4 babies and a kangaroo. Afterwards we are equipped with binoculars and headphones in the park. You could tell that our guide was there with heart and soul. The tour through the forest was enchanting! We have seen almost all described animals that can live here without being locked up or with behavioural problems!

A wonderful worthwhile experience @wildlife wonders - The whole wildlife wonders concept and experience is amazing. We commenced with an amazing light meal with choice of soft drink, wine or mixer and got to know others in the group around the table. The tour then commenced as we walked through grasslands, bushland and forest spotting fufus bellied pademelons,potaroos , wallabies, koalas, and various bird life and bird call. We saw a magnificent sunset over cape otway. This conservation/ research focussed social enterprise is fantastic and well worth supporting for the sake of our future.

Dusk Walk with my son - I took my 7 year old son on the nighttime wildlife tour and it was absolutely incredible. Neither of us will ever forget it. Our guide Erin was incredibly informative and really enthusiastically enamoured with her job and because of that she made it so enjoyable. She was also so inclusive of my son and his desire to participate and spot animals. We both loved it. Highly recommend!

A great experience. - Dusk tour was excellent - we were a group of 6 with ages from 9yo to 75yo. Initially when booking we thought it was a bit expensive, but the experience was great value with a very nice dinner and wine included. Lots of opportunity to spotlight with the red lights provided, seeing up close plenty of koalas, potoroos, bandicoots, pademelons, kangaroo, emu. Gift shop has a good selection of nature books. Thank you to our lovely guide Erin.

Amazing sights of animals at dusk - We were made to feel very welcome and served with a very good quality light supper. Arriving early we had time to browse in the shop and learn about Wildlife Wonders. We were well equipped with binoculars and and as the evening wore on we saw increasing numbers of native Australian animals in their protected natural habitat. We saw bandicoot, poteroos, swamp wallabies, kangaroo, emu and of course koalas. Our guide was very helpful and enthusiastic, spotting the animals and telling us all about them. All in all it was a very enjoyable evening which I would recommend to anyone interested in learning about and seeing these elusive animals where they are protected from non native species.

Dusk discovery walk - We had a great time on the tour, our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and helped make for an unforgettable evening. The reserve is in a great setting and we were able to see the animals wandering around at close quarters. Recommended if visiting Apollo Bay area
