The Yarra Valley. located to the east of Melbourne, is one of Victoria’s premier wine producing regions that has international standing and features rolling vineyards, pristine rivers and towering mountains covered in old growth forests.

You remove the riding gear when we arrive at Healesville Sanctuary and leave it with your riders while you stroll through the park. We arrive at the Sanctuary at around lunchtime and it is a great location to have something to eat before looking at some of the beautiful animals unique to Australia.
Healesville Sanctuary
Healesville Sanctuary provides a great opportunity to see the unique Australian wildlife up close in a native bushland environment – from Kangaroos and Koalas to the Platypus and the Dingo. The impressive ‘Birds of Prey’ presentation showcases some beautiful hunting birds such as the Wedge-tailed Eagle and the Peregrine Falcon.
In addition to the general admission, there are opportunities to meet the keepers and experience ‘behind-the-scenes’ with tailored tours conducted at specific times. Please refer to the Healesville Sanctuary link below for further details.
After you have completed your visit to the Sanctuary, the tour continues as we return to the city through the stunning Yarra Valley.
