Up close & personal but still wild! - Food at cafe was fabulous and we saw wildlife within 5 minutes of our tour up close. The guide was informative and our small group had an excellent walk - would highly recommend for personal pleasure and to support the protection of Aussie wildlife and land!

Close up of wildlife in a natural environment with superb audio commentary - Wonderful outdoor walk and close-up views of emus, potteroos, pademelons in their natural environment, audio and informed commentary from our delightful guide via headphones was excellent, we could hear clearly no matter your position in the group, highly recommend if you are in the Otways

A wonderful experience! - Fantastic experience with Naomi as our conservation guide. We were lucky to see lots of animals in their natural habitat including kangaroos, pademelons, koalas, long neck turtles and rare cockatoos. Naomi was an excellent guide . The cafe was good and all staff were lovely and friendly. A wonderful experience. Thank you

Amazing place - exceeded expectations - Amazing place - exceeded expectations. Think we were very lucky in the animals we got to see which was an echidna (which walked literally within centimeters of us), 4-5 koalas, wallabies, pademelons, kangaroos and emus (including babies). Our tour ended up going for ~2hrs which is much longer than usual, but this shows that they care about ensuring you get the best experience rather than hurrying you up. Tour guide was AMAZING. Audio devices and binoculars were really great too! Walking track was not long (1.4km) and very very easy walking. Takes you through various habitats to maximise what you might see. Did not eat at the cafe, but enough there to cater for a lunch if need be. Highly recommend. Hot tip - tour guide said more animals were out as it was the first cooler day with some rain after a few hot days.

Wonderful experience - When on the ocean road, this is an absolutely excellent place to stop for breakfast or lunch, and go on a guided tour around the conservation park. Our guide Claire was informative, interesting and entertaining in all measures! The animals you will see include kangaroos, koalas and Wallabies. Not only is this visit good fun, it is also a very worthwhile cause, so do lend your support.

Excellent Experience and Meaningful Organzation - We learned about this wonderful organization from a local we met on a waterfall trek. We visited Wildlife Wonders later that day and were lucky to hit their last tour of the day. Sasha was our guide. She had great knowledge of the birds and animals on site. It is an extraordinary preserve dedicated to protecting wildlife. We learned so much about the local flora and fauna. We have since recommended it to many people we’ve met along the way. I highly recommend this site! Well done and very knowledgeable and friendly staff!
