With a local wildlife expert as guide, guests explore the quiet wonders of the Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.

Southern Ocean Lodge guests gain privileged access to the sanctuary’s lesser-known corners, discovering biodiverse landscapes and their native inhabitant through the knowledge and passion of the people who know them best. Along the way, guests gain insight into the sanctuary’s involvement in research surrounding a unique compound found in local Ligurian honey bee products – one that has drawn scientific attention for its potential applications in cancer treatment. Guests are likely to encounter koalas, kangaroos, native birds and reptiles along the way. A camera and a keen eye are essentials for this journey.
