Hi, I'm going to be staying at Western KI Caravan Park and would like to do the nocturnal tour. I know its not wise to drive towards dusk, is it possible to get to Hanson Bay from the caravan park without a car?

We drove back from the tour at dusk and it was fine. In fact we really enjoyed it as we saw lots of animals, far more than during the day. You do need to go slow though as we encountered two koalas sitting in the middle of the road that we had to stop for and shoo away!
Is there a chance to pet a Kangaroo whilst visiting the sanctuary? Are you allowed?
A:
We have abundant wildlife.... 500-1000 kangaroos, 5000+ wallabies, 50-100 koalas, tens of thousands of birds but you cannot pet or feed any of them because everything is wild! …
We have abundant wildlife.... 500-1000 kangaroos, 5000+ wallabies, 50-100 koalas, tens of thousands of birds but you cannot pet or feed any of them because everything is wild! Everything becomes highly visible toward sunset. We recommend doing a nocturnal tour because there is a huge difference between night and day. Think of it as a night club...things really get hopping when the sun goes down. There is always a lot to see but during the day (especially summer time) the kangaroos retreat to the shade so it is best to take a guided tour to avoid disappoitment. Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is 5000 acre wildlife conservancy with stunning ocean front accomodation. We have about 2000 acres of cleared land (old farm land) which makes wildlife easy to see if you know where to look.
