Know more about Lavers Hill
You can expect an intimate wildlife walk through an Otways habitat where animals live freely without cages. Tours take place at dusk when nocturnal species become active and day-active animals settle, giving you authentic wildlife viewing and photography opportunities as animals go about their daily lives.
Dusk Discovery tours are limited to just 10 people, so you’ll enjoy a relaxed, small-group experience that allows time for guided commentary, close wildlife viewing, and uninterrupted opportunities to photograph animals and sunset scenes.
Yes - the experience is family-friendly: infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and transportation options and all areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible, making the walk suitable for a wide range of physical fitness levels.
Dusk is when most animals are active - nocturnal creatures rise and diurnal animals return to rest - so you get prime wildlife activity, dramatic lighting for stunning sunsets, and enhanced chances to capture memorable photos of native species in their natural habitat.
Before your walk you’ll enjoy a mezze plate of local produce and a glass of wine or local beer, and during the tour you’ll be provided with headsets to hear the guide clearly and binoculars for effective wildlife spotting and viewing.
When you book a Dusk Discovery you directly support conservation and research: 100% of Wildlife Wonders’ profits go to protecting Australia’s threatened species, so your visit helps preserve the habitat and wildlife you come to see.
