Healesville Sanctuary Wildlife and Birdlife Tour

Step into the heart of Australian wildlife conservation with Yarra Valley Manna Gum Tours' Healesville Sanctuary Wildlife and Birdlife Tour, a unique experience led by a passionate Healesville Sanctuary volunteer. This small-group, personal tour gives you the rare opportunity to explore one of Australia's most iconic wildlife sanctuaries while learning about the remarkable conservation work that has been protecting native species for over 90 years.

Discover the elusive platypus, echidnas, kangaroos, wombats, lyrebirds, and a kaleidoscope of native birds, while hearing fascinating stories about their survival and the breeding programs that safeguard their future. Along the way, you will gain an insider's perspective into the Sanctuary's critical role in rescuing and rehabilitating injured wildlife.

Beyond the Sanctuary, your day continues with time to enjoy the beauty of the Yarra Valley. Enjoy a relaxed lunch at a carefully selected winery or local café, paired with regional wines, artisan cheeses, or handmade chocolates. With stunning mountain backdrops, rolling vineyards, and pristine bushland, the Yarra Valley is the perfect setting for an unforgettable day in nature.

Located just over an hour from Melbourne, this tour includes convenient pick-up and drop-off, so you can relax and immerse yourself in the wild heart of Victoria.
