There's no fixed group, no rigid schedule, and no strangers on your bus.

About

Why choose them?
This is a brilliant option for visitors who want a wildlife and sightseeing experience but don't have a full day to spare. At Moonlit Sanctuary you can get up close to koalas, kangaroos, wombats and Tasmanian devils in a natural setting — ticking off some of Australia's most iconic animals in one visit.

Why choose them?
The early departure means you arrive at the springs before the crowds build — a real advantage at one of Victoria's most popular wellness destinations. The geothermal water is drawn from 637 metres below the Earth's surface, rich in minerals including boron, magnesium, potassium and sodium, and believed to have been deep within the Earth for over 10,000 years. The skip-the-queue entry, knowledgeable guides (frequently praised by name in reviews), and the flexibility of a transport-only option make it a well-rounded choice — particularly for international visitors or anyone who just wants a genuinely stress-free day of relaxation.
