What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven to prime viewing spots around the island. Armed with a torch, you'll walk slowly through habitat, pausing to scan for movement and listen for calls. Your guide reads the landscape—knowing where animals shelter and feed at night. Expect to spend most time on foot rather than in the vehicle, moving quietly to avoid startling wildlife. Sightings depend on conditions and season; seeing kangaroos is likely, but owls and penguins demand patience and luck. The pace is gentle and stops are frequent.
Good to know
Bring a warm layer—nights cool significantly. Wear sturdy shoes for uneven ground. Prams and infant seats are available; the walk suits all fitness levels, though those with heart concerns should consult beforehand. No dinner is provided; eat before departure. Torches and water are supplied.
