5.00The excursion started with a brief stop at the beach, followed by a wonderful stop at the Moonlit Sanctuary. It was a great experience at the sanctuary, we were able to see a lot of Australian animals and interact with many of them. The excursion concluded with a 2 hour tour of Melbourne, where our guide Adam showed us a lot of highlights of the city. We had a great time with Adam, thank you.

5.00The itinerary was great. Our driver/guide, Adam, was amazingly knowledgeable and took great care of us. We especially enjoyed being up close to so many animals. Adam made sure we got to lots of important and interesting places. We had to leave on our cruise otherwise we would have gone back to several of the places we had stopped.
Why coffee is so popular.

5.00We were delighted with our tour and particularly with Adam, our guide. He was efficient, informative, friendly and shows a great love for his city of Melbourne. Now that we have been on a few other tours it has become apparent how exemplary his tour was. Highly recommend.

5.00Absolutely fabulous! Adam was amazing and added sunshine to a cloudy day! The visit to Moonlit Sanctuary was awesome! We learned alot about the history of Melbourne on the city tour! A very well spent day for a very reasonable price.
A great half day tour for some time at the beach and then with kangaroos.

5.00Pick up was timely and the schedule gave us enough time to take photos at the Brighton beach boxes and to explore the Sanctuary. Sarah was really passionate and was a true animal whisperer. Lovely and enjoyable.

5.00Led by Travis, this tour is really unforgettable to us. He shares a lot of information of different animals in Moonlit Sanctuary, including their habits and history which helps us understand more about them. Really enjoy the morning with him.
