Overview

This half day morning tour is perfect to see Australia's unique wildlife in a place that gives you a more memorable experience and also a visit to Brighton Beach to see the famous beach boxes.

Spend 90 minutes at Moonlit Sanctuary and learn about koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, dingoes, wombats, Tasmanian devils and many more in a natural setting. We expect to arrive at opening time at 9:30am, this gives you the advantage of being the first at the sanctuary that day and depending on weather conditions a better experience as the animals would be more active earlier before the temperature rises.

On the way back to Melbourne we first stop at Brighton Beach to take photos of this famous peace of real estate.
Last drive to Melbourne by the bay and drop off at central meeting point in Southbank by noon.

This small-group tour is limited to 11 people, ensuring a more personalized experience.
