Great tour - Great tour. Saw two mothers and joeys and several males who were being very vocal and then even mating happening which even the guide hadn’t seen before. Tour lasted an hour and a half and included a short minibus ride to see the other wildlife but tge koalas were the stars.

good - first guided tour i ever had on koala, which helped in my subsequent day spotting of koala in stokes bay by myself the koalas are already spotted by staff prior to the tour so there is no need to "hunt" for them

Koalas, fire and culture - The guide made the walking tour interesting and informative. The information and experiences shared were first hand and not learnt from a book, adding a layer of lived experience to the tour. Any itinerary will be incomplete without this walking tour.

A beautiful walk through nature - Tom was our guide. He took us for a lovely stroll through the sanctuary. He shed light on how KI is progressing following the devastating fires from a few years back. We saw so many animals including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, geese and the rare glossy black Cockatoo. Amazing time. Thank you Tom

Beautiful way to see wildlife - We loved this tour of the wildlife sanctuary. No cages, no fences just wildlife in their natural environment. Tom was a knowledgeable guide and we learnt a lot about the animals and their habitat. If you love walking in nature, this is a must do!

Best Experience in Australia - This Tour was simply the Highlight of 3 weeks in Australia! Walking around in the park with a very competent guide with a lot of valuable information, we saw so many animals - and very close up with the most beautiful Coalas. This is how a Tour in the Wild should be done - we where honored guests in the animal kingdom of Cangaroo Island - Galapagos of Australia.

Great tour to see Koalas and other wildlife up close in their natural environment. - The tour was part minibus, part walking. Josh the guide was extremely informative and made it a lot of fun. We learned a lot about the wildlife and we got to see things we would have probably missed. Definitely a tour worth doing and good value for money.

Take a tour and your money will help the sanctuary get back on its feet. - Very enjoyable and informative walk through the sanctuary. We did the 10.30am tour and sighted 5 koalas in trees and a number of kangaroos and Cape Barron geese. I suggest taking a pair of binoculars as the koalas can be quite high up in the tree and difficult to spot. There was a short video to watch at the end of the tour which included footage of the fires that destroyed almost everything in early 2020.

A Big Disappointment! - We were not able to take this excursion. We arrived on the island on a cruise which docked on the opposite side of the island than the excursion meeting point. I called the excursion provider and they informed me we were 75 minutes away from the meeting point. They did not provide a pick up or any transportation. There were no taxis, Ubers or buses on the island. No refund was offered or provided by the excursion provider. Disappointing.
