“What can I say? A full day out seeing kangaroos, emus and koalas in their natural environment. In addition some stunning views especially of the 12 Apostles. Included a lunch stop at Apollo Bay. Lauren, our guide and driver, was the best. Full of information and kept it lighthearted and was very flexible if people needed a comfort break. She played music that was apt for where we were at the time including the Dunnings advert when we had to do a pick up there. I would highly recommend booking with Wildlife Tours they look after you so well.”
