A Wild Night Out where the Wild Things are…
An evening tour is a great way to meet the animals and experience their natural bush home.
An evening tour is a great way to meet the animals and experience their natural bush home.
Instead, they are what we call “crepuscular”. This means they sleep in the day AND the night, and they are active at dusk and dawn. So the best time to see them out and about is just after sunset.
The Australian bush puts on an entrancing display of wild nature after dark. Bring a torch (flashlight) and follow your ranger on a spotlighting walkabout adventure tour. Meet Walkabout Park’s friendly furry and scaly and spiky residents, play tug of war with the devils, and use your flashlight to spy on the wildlife in the trees and undergrowth.
2 hours. One hour before sunset and one hour after sunset. Start time (and arrival time) will be confirmed closer to your booking date.
If you will arrive late, you will need to phone us on 02 43751100 before 4:30pm so we can arrange for someone to be onsite to let you in, as we must lock the gates at 5pm to keep foxes out and our animals safe.
If you have just booked the tour, your ranger will let you out the gate when the tour ends.
If you want to stay overnight and wake up with the animals, you can hire an Eco-cabin or, if you are a group of friends, you may want to hire the campsite.
Gates are locked at 5pm to keep foxes and feral dogs out and our animals safe overnight.
Arrive between 3pm and 4:30pm.
Bring a picnic or hang out with the animals until your tour starts.
This tour is ranger-led and incorporates animal encounters and spotlighting.
Meet Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary’s friendly resident animals, then go spotlighting to spy on the animals as the bush comes alive at dusk. Play tug of war with the Tasmanian devils. Get up close and hands-on with Australia’s weird and wonderful wildlife.
(For overnight guests only, after the tour ends, weather permitting, there may be a campfire for an hour.)
When you arrive, please walk up to to reception to check-in. You will be given a map and some easy-to-follow safety information to keep you and the animals safe. This animal safety information is vital as you will be stepping into the animals’ world. Our animals live semi-wild, so the “rules” are very different to those that would apply if you were visiting a zoo.
Once you have the safety information and your map, you can enter the wildlife sanctuary and meet the animals.
Return to the veranda at the Visitor Centre 5 minutes before your tour is due to start. Your ranger will meet you there.
There is no minimum age, but
Please do not bring alcohol onto the premises.

This is an all-weather event so we usually go ahead in the rain. However, if Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary believes the weather or other conditions may be unsafe for people or animals, we will cancel a booking. Whenever possible, you will be contacted in advance so it is important that you give us contact details that we can use to reach you right up until the time of your arrival. If we cancel your booking you will be given the option of either rescheduling to another date, or receiving a full refund. In the event of bad weather and if you have not heard from us, please call (02) 4375 1100 before 11am on the day of your booking to find out whether the program is going ahead. Note, cancellation due to weather is extremely unlikely as this is an all-weather event, so bring your rain gear as the rain just adds another dimension of fun to the experience.
