Great opportunity

Published on Feb, 2025

Great opportunity to see these wonderful creatures up close and personal, whilst still in there natural habitat. Learned so much more about these unique animals.

If you want to definitely see Koalas

Published on Feb, 2025

A long trip out from Kingscote but well worth the trip - informative and beautiful setting to see Koalas at night. We also saw Echidna wallabies and kangaroos. Our guide was informative and chatted freely .. The sunset over the waterhole standing a few feet from drinking Roos was a wonderful experience

Book it! Great bushwalking koala & kangaroo/wallaby tour

Published on Feb, 2025

My husband and I just happened to be driving by, and saw the sign for the "Hansen Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, tours at 10:30 & (14:30) 2:30". We drove in and arrived just as the 2:30 (14:30) tour was beginning. The tour guide came over and we exclaimed that although we had not booked (strongly recommended), we would love to join the tour, if possible. It was our lucky day!! She had run for 2 more and allowed us to join the tour and pay at the end of the tour. She took us on a bushwalk through the sanctuary, and pointed out local plants, showed us evidence of the 2020 fires and how they had affected the animals and the vegetatian, as well as what the sanctuary had done to help the animals that survived the fire get enough food and water to continue to thrive. She allowed the group to look for koalas and wallabies (and then pointed them out if none of us spotted them). She shared info about the koalas habits, diet, mating, etc and patiently answered any questions that we had. After that part of the tour, we all got into a sanctuary van and she took us out to one of their several watering holes to allow us to see many kangaroos and their two black swans. The tour was fun, informative, and it was great seeing animals in their own habitat! We would strongly suggest this tour to anyone who wants to go on a wildlife tour. You won't regret it!

An exceptional guided walk.

We visited Hanson Wildlife Sanctuary on a recommendation. We were not disappointed. Tom our guide was fantastic! He is a wealth of knowledge on the local area including history and major events. We were able to view Koala's, Cape Barren Geese, Western Grey Kangaroos & Tammar Wallabies as well as the native flora. The casual walk through the bush was so enjoyable having Tom point interesting things out as he saw them and answering our questions. A wonderful experience thank you Tom.

Great tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour. Saw two mothers and joeys and several males who were being very vocal and then even mating happening which even the guide hadn’t seen before. Tour lasted an hour and a half and included a short minibus ride to see the other wildlife but tge koalas were the stars.
