Overview
An incredible opportunity to visit koalas in their natural habitat whilst contributing to koala conservation in Port Stephens.
Meander through eucalyptus groves along the interactive Story Walk and learn about koalas & Port Stephens Koala hospital, where dedicated staff work to protect and care for koalas.
Visit the state-of-the-art Koala Hospital with Intensive Care Unit treatment rooms and holding pens. Take a look through the hospital viewing window as veterinary staff carry out *examinations and administer treatment to koala inpatients'.
Finish with an adventurous walk on the Skywalk, a 225 metre elevated platform that brings you eye-to-eye with our wild recovering koalas in their natural habitat. It's a unique 'tree top' perspective into the koala's natural habitat, a perfect photo opportunity and an educational experience. Talk with our Ambassadors to learn fascinating insights about koalas, their care, rehabilitation and survival.
