Sunset with animals

5.00Seth took us on our sunset tour and it was fantastic to see the animals in this environment especially to see the comeback of the environment post 2020 fires. Seth was generous with his time and knowledge and the animals were all comfortable with us roaming around between or under them. The sunset and star gazing added to the experience.
Hanson Bay is the Best Tour!

5.00We did a sunset tour with our guide Seth. It was definitely the highlight of our Kangaroo Island Trip. We saw kangaroos, wallabies, and my favorite koalas! Seth was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and fun! My five and nine year old loved the red light flashlights to spot wildlife. The tour we went on the koalas were extremely active. The location of the sanctuary was extremely close to other Flinders Chase activities, but this one was by far our favorite!
Koala towards evening

5.00Meet the koalas in the evening. The person who took us around spoke slow and understandable English, we saw several koalas at very close range and even two quarrelsome koalas making an incredible noise. A wonderful experience.
Lovely animal experience
