Tour guides, Ryan and Mick, completely exceeded our expectations on the nocturnal night tour. Their knowledge, enthusiasm and connection to the animals made our experience incredible and I can honestly say that this is the best tour we’ve ever been on. Will definitely be back. Thanks for picking us up too!

They did this because they are so proud of their part of Australia and wanted to make sure that I saw enough to be impressed by this beautiful, historic part of the world. You bet I'm impressed! Thank you so much.

Thanks for the 5 star review. Yes, sometimes the wildlife is very well hidden so it does go along way when you know some of their favourite spots. Western Australias star viewing is hard to beat too especially when out of the main towns.

We visited on Friday evening with children aged 3-11 and parents and grandparents. It was delightful! Ryan and Mick could not have been more warm, informative and accommodating to the different generations. We went on a bush walk and they found so many interesting nocturnal reptiles, plants and animals and kept the children (and adults) charmed. The kangaroos and possums were stars of the show but we adored the little bandicoot who came to visit too. Very special and highly recommended.

A spectacular nocturnal safari in a private sanctuary.
Ryan and Mick were entertaining and knowledgeable. The wildlife was fab. Up close and personal with 10 kangaroos - including a mother and baby - and possums so close we could strike them. Other creatures like the bandicoots and spiders became much more interesting when we heard about their lifestyles.
Strongly recommend. Easy walking - I did it in flip flops (thongs).

I highly recommend the Nocturnal experience. We got to feed and meet the kangaroos even patting them. It’s good to know that 25% of the price that we pay for adult tickets goes to maintaining the fence and caring for orphaned animals like the kangaroos. It was wonderful gazing at the stars and learning about the constellations. The tour guides for South West Eco Discoveries were friendly and calm. We will be coming back!

The Coastal and Wildlife Eco Tour was just the kind of tour we were looking for. Ryan and Mick were fun and knowledgeable and they took us to some of their favorite places, off the usual tourist route. The half day duration was perfect and we saw a variety of habitats and ecosystems and gorgeous views. We learned about the geology, plants and animals of the area, including kangaroos. We ended the tour with a delicious sample platter of locally grown and produced food. I highly recommend this tour!

Experienced the nocturnal animal tour. Saw many native animals up close and had good photo opportunities as well as feeding. Very informative about flora and fauna, included a night bush walk and star gazing towards the end.

We had an amazing time with Mick and Ryan on the Coastal & Wildlife daytime tour. The guys took us to some great spots and walks enjoying all the native plants, flowers and animals including beautiful orchids, whales, kangaroos and more. They have an amazing level of knowledge which is shared in such a great way. My 8 year old son loved the tour and we all returned very happy. Highly recommended for everyone, even residents who know the area well will still get allot from this perspective. Cheers team ❤️
