Moonlit Sanctuary acknowledges the Bunurong / Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we operate and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future.
It’s breeding season, which can make our koalas a little unpredictable.
Because of this, Koala Encounters aren’t always guaranteed, and some may be cancelled at short notice.
If that happens, you’ll get an immediate full refund.
Thanks for understanding and for caring about our koalas!
