What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven through Melbourne's neighbourhoods whilst your guide points out significant sites and local context. The bulk of the day centres on Moonlit Wildlife Sanctuary, where you'll have proper time with koalas and other Australian fauna. The pace is relaxed—this isn't rushed ticking off boxes, but rather a genuine encounter with the animals and the city. Timing at attractions may shift depending on crowds or animal activity. Bring layers as weather can change; the tour runs rain or shine.
Good to know
Entry to Moonlit Sanctuary is included, but meals and extra drinks aren't—bring cash or a card for lunch. Prams and infant seats are available if needed. Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Public transport stations are nearby if you need to get anywhere independently.
