This was a very enjoyable evening with Mick, seeing wildlife not normally encountered in the day, meeting and feeding kangaroos, bandicoots and possums and learning about local plants and trees. It is worth applying insect repellent before beginning - we found we had multiple bites from mosquitoes/fleas from the animals

Highly recommend and a very special experience with Mick - meeting possums and kangaroos was fun, as was the bush trek, hot chocolate and star gazing. Will definitely do it again, we all loved it.

We booked a morning Coastal and Wildlife Eco Tour and were so impressed we booked a Nocturnal Animal Tour for the same night. We had the most wonderful time. Ryan is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the local flora and fauna. We had a unique wildlife encounter with kangaroos, possums and bandicoots on a bushwalk in a private wildlife sanctuary. The tour exceeded our expectations. It was so memorable and one of the best tours we have ever done. Thank you Ryan.

We would like to show our appreciation to Mic and Ryan for taking us on a beautiful journey into the bushland and sharing their wealth of knowledge about this gorgeous piece of land. We were blessed to meet the adorable animals that came by to greet us that night. Ending the night under the star studded stars was just the cherry on top of the cake. Mic and Rick’s patience in listening to our child’s queries and teaching us about the flora and fauna of this land really enriched our understanding of WA’s naturescape. We hope to be back again in another season. Stay well and till we meet again!
Experience like no others 👍

This tour was the highlight of our trip down south. My three children engaged with the tour guides and information. And the guides were fantastic with dealing with not only two neurodiverse kids, but with a toddler as well. I cannot recommend this tour for families highly enough!
