Koalas and kangaroos

5.00I loved this day even though it was cold and rainy at times. The wildlife sanctuary was awesome with koalas, kangaroos and wallabies in addition to many other birds and animals. I wish we had a little more time-even a half hour more would have been good in order to not feel rushed. I paid extra to pet the koala bear and that was definitely worth it. I also was able to feed the kangaroos and wallabies which was another unforgettable experience. The beach was nice but would have been better on a warmer day.
Great 1/2 day tour, see and interact with Roos, koalas, more

5.001/2 day was just right. Leaves time to return to the city and explore. Got up close to kangaroos, wallabies, and koalas. Got “not-as-close” to other wildlife such as emus, wombats, and more.
Great experience

5.00We did not have much time, this tour gave me a simple but great experience. The beach was wonderful and the boxes had nice designs. It was too cold to test the water. The moonlite sanctuary was made my Australia experience. We were able to pet the koala bear, additional fee but worth it Victor the koala was cute. The kangaroos were friendly and hungry. Our tour operator was friendly, knowledgeable and great benefit to our experience
Cant believe, I could pet Koala and Kangaroo
