Authentic, fun and informative nature experience for the whole family - I can highly recommend the Nocturnal Animal tour from Busselton. Our group ranged in age from 6 to 80 years old, and all had a wonderful experience. Authentic, fun and informative. We hope to attend again in the future, as every season and every night is different in the bush.

See and Learn - Ryan and Mick are very professional and warm-hearted. They attract many animals coming to us. They teach us nocturnal animal food and living habits, and some typical plants usage and history. We are not native speaker, so they try to explain in many different ways. We enjoy!

An experience to truly embrace our wonderful WA at night. - Wow, what an incredible experience. Ryan and Mick were the most wonderful hosts. They knew the land, the history, and really acted as the animal whisperers.
This is honestly the best thing I have done in the South West.

The kids are still talking about this … - We took three of our grandchildren ( 9, 7 and 7) on this tour and they loved it! Ryan and Mick were knowledgeable and patient and friendly. We loved the native tea. The way they catered for the kids was fantastic and the kids were still talking about it days later. Very worthwhile (especially if you or your kids have not been up close and personal with our Australian wildlife).

Magical moments - What an amazing event. Perfect for our family of 3 generations with ages 5 through to 70s. We were picked up from our accommodation in Dunsborough for the 20 minute drive to the bushland sanctuary. Right from the start the kids were spell bound. They had no sooner downed their hot chocolate when the kangaroos and bandicoots appeared. Mick’s explanation of how to best feed the kangaroos was easily understood and enabled all the children to participate without any concerns. Then the informative bushwalk and star gazing made for a brilliant evening all round. Thankyou Ryan and Mick!!

Bill and Clare's Nocturnal animal tour. - A wonderful tour that was both informative and entertaining. The only people having more fun than us two adults were the three children of a very patient mother, who enthusiastically threw themselves into discovering the bugs, birds and marsupials on the reserve. Well done Mick and Ryan!

Wildlife Encounter in bushland setting - Excellent nocturnal nature tour on the conservation property which is a wildlife oasis surrounded by farmland. Great to see eastern grey kangaroos, brush tailed possums and bandicoot up close and in their natural environment. Both Mick and his colleague were very knowledgeable and engaging. great lemon Myrtle tea and cookies! We visited the sanctuary owner the next day to inspect their accommodation all very nice so will stay here next time we visit the region.
