Wildlife Wonders reviews
49We organised the Wildlife wonders coffee van for our recovery wedding brunch at Seacroft Estate. What a brilliant, warm and eco-friendly service, lovely tasting coffee with complements shared by all guests. Thank you
Amazing experience! Very friendly staff, and they are just so passionate about wildlife and the environment
This is a magical place where you can connect with protected nature. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate. The walk is a perfect length for people at all fitness levels. The gift shop is well-curated and we were excited to buy a few holiday gifts. We saw emu eating up close and several koalas in different parts of trees.
While staff was friendly and knowledgeable, the tour is expensive, we saw 2 emus and some koalas from far… not exactly diverse… or wild…
We discovered a charming wildlife sanctuary close to Apollo Bay, conveniently located near our apartment. As we sought to pass the afternoon, we stumbled upon this wildlife park. With the assistance of a knowledgeable guide, we embarked on a walk to observe the wild animals. Spotting these creatures in their natural habitat relies solely on your luck. During our excursion, we had the delightful opportunity to encounter a wannabe, a koala bear, a kangaroo, and an emu! To our astonishment, we witnessed the emu fiercely defending its territory by chasing away the curious kangaroos. You can view the amusing chase in the video I captured.
Our tour was fantastic. We really enjoyed the information given and how the walk was laid out. It showed what’s so special and unique about our native wildlife and plantation. Our guide was informative, engaging and really good at answering our questions. Would highly recommend it
I have a great time on the tour, it was awesome to learn about what they do there. Our tour guide Louisa was very friendly and knowledgeable, I highly recommend this tour to everyone. It was also so amazing to be the
Chicken burger was delicious and fresh. Loved the cozy ambience. Its green and beautiful with good and friendly staff
Food good very small portions
Was Luke warm.
I don't think you addressed the cold food.
The staff on-site were very friendly and super helpful. The tour was a fun and engaging experience with lots of fun facts about the Australian fauna. However, because the animals are roaming freely in the environment, every tour session's experience may vary, depending on whether the animals decided to come out and greet you. Probably best to ask the staff on the best time of day to come and visit for best chance of spotting variety of animals. Over all, it feels good that the entrance fee also contributes to the conservation and good work they do in the site.
It was okay. No guarantee to see animals, if you do you may need binoculars to see them. Price is high but it goes toward supporting the sanctuary.
Forget the apostles. This was the highlight of the great ocean road for us! We are very glad we came on a rainy day because we saw so, so much! Don't let the rain dissuade you because you'll probably get a more intimate tour and see things you might not normally see. The provided ponchos kept us perfectly dry. I would love to come back for the dusk tour one day.
This is a far better experience than seeing animals in captivity in a zoo. Every dollar (even from the gift shop and cafe) goes back to the animals and research. As you wait for your tour there's a great cafe you can have lunch or a coffee.
Thank you Sasha for such a wonderful experience, we will remember it for the rest of our lives!
It was amazing beautiful plant life and fauna. We where up in close to so many amazing animals emu's, kangaroos, wallabies and koalas just to name a few. I guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about everything! She answered all our questions about animals and area. Thank you Del we will return to do the dusk tour soon.
We had very enjoyable tour with the researchers staff in this facility. They have a great respect for the environment and indegenous tribes. Keep in mind its not a zoo, so it might not be best suited for young children
Engaging and informative orientation and tour. The guide was well prepared for the changing weather and variable needs within our group. Great diversity in a small area. We liked that the tour wasn't over-scripted and the guide took advantage of encounters as they arose making it a unique experience. Would definitely go back again since we would learn something different each time. Great facility and gift shop.
We were recommended this place for great coffee and food and did not disappoint. Due to the wet weather we did not visit the park, so will have to go back again. Staff so friendly would recommend it to all.
I went on the dusk tour with my fiancee and had a lovely experience. I was pleasantly surprised with the offer of delicious food and a nice chat with the other walkers prior to our tour. It was a quiet yet knowledgeable walk as our conservationist spoke about every animal and plant that we saw on our trail. We were able to see wild kangaroos, wallabies, emus, potoroos, koalas, as well as the beautiful sunset over the Bass Straight. I highly recommend going on the dawn or dusk tours, as not only can you experience a quiet and beautiful walk through the Otways but also support great conservation work.
The most interesting and informative tour we've had yet in Australia! Shasa did a great job and we saw so many cool animals in their natural environment! So glad we stopped by!
Excellent experience, Simon was a very knowledgeable tour guide and made everyone feel welcome. Would highly recommend as a must do.
Excelent experience! You go only with a tour guide inside the animal's home. It is not a zoo. You can see the animals inteacting with each other and the ecosystem. Marvelous!
Es una experiencia excelente! Solo podés entrar con un guía turístico al hogar de los animales. No es un zoológico. Podés ver a los animales interactuandonentre ellos y con el ecosistema. Te dan auriculares para que escuchar al guía y no molestar a los animales.
