Overview

Go West Tours starts with the colourful bathing boxes at Brighton Beach, then Moonlit Sanctuary, where you can get close to kangaroos, koalas and emus in bushland and feed kangaroos and wallabies (feed is not included). In summer the tour also visits Cape Woolamai for coastal views.

The day ends with the Penguin Parade at sunset, standard viewing included, where little penguins come out of the sea and waddle up the beach. Hotel pick-ups, onboard Wi-Fi, an audio guide in 16 languages and entry to Moonlit Sanctuary are included. Food and drinks are not.

Common questions about this trip

  • What's the cancellation policy?
    There are no cancellation fees for changes up to 24 hours before departure. Cancelling inside 24 hours, or not taking up the booking, forfeits 100% of the fare. A change of date that needs the original booking cancelled counts as a cancellation. Refunds are not given for illness at short notice, so travel insurance is recommended. Wanderlust handles the refund for you, refunds mirror the operator's terms 1:1 (including if the operator cancels) and we chase it on your behalf.

Got a question that's not here? Ask us or hit the chat, instant AI reply with a follow-up from the Wanderlust crew.
