Hold a koala, hand-feed kangaroos, and meet over 100 Australian species at the world's largest koala sanctuary. An intimate, expert-led private experience that puts you nose-to-nose with Australia's most iconic wildlife.
What to expect
Set on a lush riverside property 12 km from the port, Lone Pine is home to over 70 koalas and 100-plus native species. Your private guide navigates you through dingo, Tasmanian devil, and platypus habitats with expert commentary. The iconic koala cuddle photo is a genuine once-in-a-lifetime memento. Conclude with kangaroo feeding in open grasslands as wallabies bound around you.
Good to know
A 30-minute taxi or rideshare from the Portside Wharf cruise terminal (approx. AUD 40 each way). Pre-book koala holds online as slots sell out weeks in advance. Allow 3–4 hours; well within all-aboard time for most sailings.
