About this tour

You'll spend roughly two hours wandering the sanctuary grounds observing koalas, kangaroos, wombats and Tasmanian devils, with transport by air-conditioned minivan and knowledgeable guide included. Drop-off at Southbank by 1 PM.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your city centre hotel at 8:30 AM and driven to Moonlit Sanctuary, arriving around 10 AM. The sanctuary offers a more naturalistic setting than typical zoos—you'll walk through grounds spotting koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and Tasmanian devils in conditions that suit their behaviour. After roughly two hours here, you'll head to Brighton Beach to admire the famous colourful beach boxes, which make for striking photographs. The return drive to Southbank takes you back by 1 PM. Expect a mix of walking, sitting on the minivan and outdoor time.
Good to know
The tour is heavy on driving (2.25 hours) versus on-ground time (1.75 hours). Children under 7 receive reduced rates; book car seats and booster seats when reserving. This tour doesn't suit cruise passengers due to timing constraints—verify your ability to reach the 8:30 AM departure point. Hotel drop-off isn't included.
