A super experience! - We really enjoyed our visit with a very knowledgeable guide. It was nice to see various animals we hadn't seen before, but also to hear more about their behaviour and habitat. A hightlight for us on the Great Ocean Road, so we thoroughly recommend.

Great Place to get close to wildlife - What a lovely place. We had a tour with Zoe, she was excellent she knew her stuff and provided a nice touch of humour. She also kept our group in check when someone went off the track for a photograph! The area is brilliant loads of wildlife to spot and nice w shade a chance to spot before Zoe helped us out. Would highly recommend as an essential stop if doing the Great Ocean Road or in Apollo Bay.

Definitely recommend - I went to wildlife wonders today and found the whole experience amazing- as an Australian I have never seen so much native wildlife up so close- the animals were not scared of us humans in this fabulous safe haven that has been created here. I saw baby potaroos in pouches- only days old- incredible Definitely recommend Pettina Haub

Up close & personal but still wild! - Food at cafe was fabulous and we saw wildlife within 5 minutes of our tour up close. The guide was informative and our small group had an excellent walk - would highly recommend for personal pleasure and to support the protection of Aussie wildlife and land!

Close up of wildlife in a natural environment with superb audio commentary - Wonderful outdoor walk and close-up views of emus, potteroos, pademelons in their natural environment, audio and informed commentary from our delightful guide via headphones was excellent, we could hear clearly no matter your position in the group, highly recommend if you are in the Otways

A wonderful experience! - Fantastic experience with Naomi as our conservation guide. We were lucky to see lots of animals in their natural habitat including kangaroos, pademelons, koalas, long neck turtles and rare cockatoos. Naomi was an excellent guide . The cafe was good and all staff were lovely and friendly. A wonderful experience. Thank you

Amazing place - exceeded expectations - Amazing place - exceeded expectations. Think we were very lucky in the animals we got to see which was an echidna (which walked literally within centimeters of us), 4-5 koalas, wallabies, pademelons, kangaroos and emus (including babies). Our tour ended up going for ~2hrs which is much longer than usual, but this shows that they care about ensuring you get the best experience rather than hurrying you up. Tour guide was AMAZING. Audio devices and binoculars were really great too! Walking track was not long (1.4km) and very very easy walking. Takes you through various habitats to maximise what you might see. Did not eat at the cafe, but enough there to cater for a lunch if need be. Highly recommend. Hot tip - tour guide said more animals were out as it was the first cooler day with some rain after a few hot days.

Only ok but over priced. - We felt that this tour was over priced for the animals that you saw. Emus, wallabies and Kangaroos were observed as well as several Koalas were very high in the trees. Our guide did a great job but for almost $60 each, not good value. Half that would be appropriate.
