We did the nocturnal tour. Our tour guide was very friendly & knowledgeable. We walked around & saw several koalas & tons of wallabies while it was still daylight. We briefly saw a male koala bellow. We then drove to a field & saw geese with their goslings. Then, after it got dark, we walked back & saw several koalas again with flashlights. Unfortunately, it started to rain, so they weren't very active, but we still enjoyed the experience. We asked lots of questions & felt like we had a better knowledge of the park, the koalas & the island afterwards.
Fun and Informative Experience

We did the sunset waking tour with Tom. It was just our family. Tom was a great guide and a wealth of knowledge. We saw many kangaroos and a number of koalas. Well worth the time and money.

The guide was great and the animals were plentiful, however for what you get the tour is overpriced.

Amazing Experience in Nature’s True Habitat The nocturnal tour at Hanson Bay was an unforgettable experience. Tour guide Tom was incredibly passionate about the surroundings and truly transmitted that energy to the group. It was amazing to get close to wildlife in their natural habitat—not behind cages, but roaming freely as they should be. We saw koalas, joeys, kangaroos, wallabies, and so much more, all while enjoying a stunning sunset. A once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll always remember!

A great way to experience the animals in their natural habitat when they are most active. We saw koalas, the Kangaroo Island kangaroos drinking from their dam, wallabies, hoping to see an echidna out but wasn't so lucky. Fiona shared a lot of information about the koalas and kangaroos, I even learned extra info from this walking tour. I enjoyed it and it wasn't too long and you get to see the sun going down.
Lovely memories

We really enjoyed our sunset / nocturnal tour with Tom. He was highly knowledgeable and we saw a ton of koalas and kangaroos. Hanson Bay is a beautiful sanctuary and well worth a stop.
