Full description
Join an evening tour to observe nocturnal animals in their natural environment. The tour begins with accommodation pickups from Busselton and Dunsborough half an hour before sunset, before a short drive to Yelverton Brook Conservation Sanctuary that has allowed exclusive access for this tour. On arrival at the sanctuary, a short guided bush walk will take you to the animal viewing site. As the first of the animals appear, you'll learn about some of their wonderful characteristics, and interesting facts about the area. Aussie wildlife that may be seen during the tour include kangaroos, bandicoots, and possums. You may be lucky enough to see a very rare, nocturnal little macropod with personality, a woylie (small relatives of kangaroos). At the end of your animal encounter, you'll be returned to your pre-arranged drop-off location.

    Highly recommend tour especially those with kids. Something completely different and special to see the nocturnal wildlife of the local area. Fantastic knowledge of local flora and fauna by Ryan and Mick. The Billy tea and freshly made biscuits were great also

    This tour was fantastic! We were conveniently collected from our hotel and taken on a wildlife adventure. Our tour guides, Ryan and Matt were very informative both on the drive and during our time at the sanctuary. We saw lots of nocturnal animals and were able to feed and pat the kangaroos. There were plenty of photo opportunities and we were not rushed at all. It was an awesome experience to be in the middle of the bush at night but to feel very secure at the same time. Perfect for all ages and fitness levels. Highly recommend!

    Ryan and Mick were excellent guides from start to finish, very knowledgable on the flora and fauna of the area, and clearly love what they do. We didn't get to see any Woylies (on this occasion) but we did see western ringtail and brushtail possums, 'roos with joey in pouch and bandicoots. The billy tea and biscuits was a lovely touch, and the ability to interact with the 'roos was awesome. The photography shown in the bus on the way to the tour was amazing. The trip home had a very entertaining video to whileaway the minutes. The best of luck for the future guys, we will defo be back and hopefully get to see the title characters on the next adventure... and will most likely keep trying until we do :)
