Dusk Discovery Tour
Overview
Wildlife Wonders' Sanctuary offers a glimpse into an Otways habitat before the arrival of predators such as foxes and cats. Wildlife lives freely in a natural habitat, without cages, and on a wildlife walk they can be seen going about their daily lives.
Dusk is a time when most animals are active, as nocturnal animals rise for the night and day-active animals return to rest. Dusk Discovery tours are limited to just 10 people, allowing time to capture stunning sunsets as well as amazing wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.
As with all of Wildlife Wonders' experiences, 100% of profits go to support conservation and research into Australia's threatened species.

What To Expect
This Dusk Discovery wildlife tour gives visitors access to the Wildlife Wonders sanctuary as the sun is setting and the resident wildlife is most active.
Potoroos, bandicoots, pademelons and more are just waking up and starting their active nights of feeding and foraging, while the day-active animals are seeking their favourite spots to snooze for the night.
On this small, intimate, 90-minute tour, you will follow a 1.4km winding path through a range of habitats, while your conservationist guide gives you exclusive insights into the lives of the elusive and rarely seen animals who call the Otways home.
There will also be the opportunity for spectacular sunset photo opportunities.
The experience includes a mezze plate of local delights with beer or wine.
