Amazing experience in Nature’s true habitat - Amazing Experience in Nature’s True Habitat The nocturnal tour at Hanson Bay was an unforgettable experience. Tour guide Tom was incredibly passionate about the surroundings and truly transmitted that energy to the group. It was amazing to get close to wildlife in their natural habitat—not behind cages, but roaming freely as they should be. We saw koalas, joeys, kangaroos, wallabies, and so much more, all while enjoying a stunning sunset. A once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll always remember!

Lovely small private guided tour of Hansen Bay Sanctuary with Tom - We loved our tour of the wildlife sanctuary. Got up close to an Echidna and a koala (not too close) and had a lovely walk around the sanctuary with our fabulous guide Tom. Thoroughly enjoyable experience

Fabulous wildlife tour! - Outstanding tour! Our guide Fiona was extraordinarily enthusiastic and knowledgeable about wildlife. We saw an amazing number of koalas, as well as many wallabies, kangaroos, and even an echidna. Fiona made sure we had plenty of time to see each animal and even extended our tour close an hour past normal ending time to give us even more viewing opportunities. Altogether a terrific experience. Very highly recommended.

Unforgettable night with guide Fiona! - What a unforgettable night it was! Guide Fiona is simply the best, she has so much knowledge and she is so good at this! Under the sky full of stars we saw two (!) echidnas wandering around, brushtail possum with baby, many koalas up in the tree and moving around on the ground, lots of kangaroos and Tammar wallabies! People have no idea what's going on at night! This is a must do when on KI! Thank you so much!

Evening views with lots of animals - Loads of wallabies, kangaroos, birds and koalas plus lots of explanation about the life cycles and habits of the animals. Our guide was a woman who knows a lot about the history of the island and the habits of the specific animals that live in the area. Excellent tour.

Do This tour! - This was the best wildlife tour ever! As second time visitors to Australia, we had never seen wallaby’s or koalas in the wild before and this tour certainly fulfilled this wish. The guide had scoped out the area before we arrived and she showed us right where to look for several male and female koalas and their babies. We got to see and hear males making their mating calls! Amazing sounds indeed! After dark, walking with red lights (these don’t disturb the animals and allow us to see them) we saw koalas on the ground, walking between trees. We also saw lots of kangaroos, wallaby’s and Cape Barren geese. This is a wonderful place and you’d be lucky to do a tour here!

Beautiful experience - We had a wonderful experience seeing heaps of koalas, kangaroos, and wallabies. We saw several mother koalas with babies, including a particularly playful baby for several minutes which was so special. The guide was friendly, interesting and knowledgeable, and made it fun having us spot the koalas. Definitely worth a visit!!

Wildlife at sunset - A great way to experience the animals in their natural habitat when they are most active. We saw koalas, the Kangaroo Island kangaroos drinking from their dam, wallabies, hoping to see an echidna out but wasn't so lucky. Fiona shared a lot of information about the koalas and kangaroos, I even learned extra info from this walking tour. I enjoyed it and it wasn't too long and you get to see the sun going down.
