Wildlife Wonders is a wildlife sanctuary that offers guests a unique glimpse into the wild Otways. Visitors enjoy a 90-minute guided walk through lush tree fern gullies, eucalypt woodlands and past spectacular ocean vistas, all with their unique inhabitants. Your conservationist guide will share with you the secrets of these plants and animals who call the Otways home. As the sun sets over the hills of the Otways, potoroos, bandicoots, pademelons and more are waking up and starting their active nights of feeding and foraging.
