Wildlife Wonders' Sanctuary offers a glimpse into an Otways habitat before the arrival of predators such as foxes and cats. Wildlife lives freely in a natural habitat, without cages, and on a wildlife walk they can be seen going about their daily lives.
Dusk is a time when most animals are active, as nocturnal animals rise for the night and day-active animals return to rest. Dusk Discovery tours are limited to just 10 people, allowing time to capture stunning sunsets as well as amazing wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.
As with all of Wildlife Wonders' experiences, 100% of profits go to support conservation and research into Australia's threatened species.

What To Expect
This Dusk Discovery wildlife tour gives visitors access to the Wildlife Wonders sanctuary as the sun is setting and the resident wildlife is most active. Potoroos, bandicoots, pademelons and more are just waking up and starting their active nights of feeding and foraging, while the day-active animals are seeking their favourite spots to snooze for the night. On this small, intimate, 90-minute tour, you will follow a 1.4km winding path through a range of habitats, while your conservationist guide gives you exclusive insights into the lives of the elusive and rarely seen animals who call the Otways home. There will also be the opportunity for spectacular sunset photo opportunities. The experience includes a mezze plate of local delights with beer or wine.
What‘s Included
All tour participants are provided with headsets to hear the guide commentary, and binoculars for wildlife spotting and viewing
Enjoy a glass of wine or local beer with your mezze plate before your tour

5.00This was a great walk with an experienced and knowlegable guide. Dusk is a great time to view animal activity and we saw quite a lot. The light meal (excellent!) before the tour was a real plus given the time of the tour. I felt it was good value for the time we spent there, though it would have been nicer if the group was smaller (it was between 16 and 20). At times the viewing was difficult due to the number of people. Highly recommended.
Great wildlife experience

5.00The dusk discovery tour is brilliant, we saw so much wildlife we never usually see such as swamp rats, pademelons, potoroos. The guide was very informative and your money goes back into conservation. The sanctuary helps to keep native animals safe from invasive predators.

5.00We really enjoyed this experience. The guide was very informative, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It was lovely to see all of the animals in their natural surroundings. The tour was well equipped and organised. We never felt rushed. We took our 6month old daughter and felt so welcomed.

5.00A wonderful experience with plenty of amazing native wildlife close encounters. Our biologist guide was sensational, as was our evening meal at the end of the tour! Highly recommend and so pleased to have had the opportunity to also support this social enterprise and conservation effort. Huge congrats to the great team at Wildlife Wonders!

The tour did not disappoint and provided some great photo opportunities and enjoyment of the Australian natural habitat. Zoe our guide was passionate and knowledgeable and this was infectious. Would highly recommend.

5.00I’m delighted that we found the option for the dusk tour. There were only three of us but it wouldn’t have made a difference with a larger group. There were only staff have the tours down to a science. The ear pieces were ideal to hear every word by the guide. We enjoyed our tour by Alon. Very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. We highly recommend visiting this special place!we saw so many animals!
