Fabulous experience for our kids to have an opportunity to get up close & involved with the majestic Wufka. Truly passionately run by Nick & Livia. Definitely make time for this experience to have these incredible birds land upon your arm & understand more about them. Can’t recommend highly enough!

The owls are stunning and the experience of having them fly to you and land on your glove is unique and memorable. Nick & Livia are lovely and share their impressive knowledge about the owls in an easy going manner. I really enjoyed this experience. Pardon the pun, but the time just flew. Rather like the birds who appear to be clearly genuinely cared for and deeply bonded to Nick & Livia.
We had a great afternoon...

We had a great afternoon with Nick, Livia and the majestic owls. The experience was unique and educational. Nick was amazing and accommodating with our 5 year old daughter who was a little nervous. She loved the experience and Wufka in particular.

It was awesome to walk the beautiful rainforests of Buderim with Wufka and Nyra flying alongside us! They seemed to be having a tonne of fun too. We were able to spend so much time with them and their personalities really shone through. Our hosts Nick and Livia were super nice and knowledgeable. This experience stands out from other animal encounters we have done through zoos.

What an amazing experience!! One on one with the owls and so educational as well. Nick and Livia gave us a memorable personalised tour and we all got to hold the owls. Great for all ages and they only do tours in small numbers. We would highly recommend this activity. 6/5!
