We had an amazing tour on Sunday September 28 at 10 AM; our guide, unfortunately I can’t remember her name, was personable, knowledgeable, and very committed to the mission of the company. Would highly recommend!

An Inspiring Guided Walk among Native Fauna in the Otways

An extraordinary experience and a visionary initiative. We had a very well-informed guide (Alyssa) who shared her passion with the group. To see potoroos, wallabies, kangaroos, koalas and emus all in their natural environment rather than behind wire, was inspiring. This is an extremely high-quality tour, well worth the money. The information is pitched at an accessible level while backed up by expertise and research. To know that the proceeds go to support the Conservation Ecology Centre is so gratifying. This was by far the highlight of our visit to the Otways.
Great day out

Cannot recommend this tour enough. It had everything and created memories for our family we will remember forever. As soon as you arrive there is everything you could need to make the experience wonderful. We were beyond appreciative of the kids corner which had things like social stories and calming spaces for our kids to become comfortable with the experience. Things like this are priceless when you have ASD kids in attendance. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much.
Excellent
