Sightseeing

Raymond Island - otherwise known as the home to hundreds of furry koalas, relocated as part of a conservation program from Philip Island. Spend the day walking on the beautiful foreshore walks and beaches, or through the peaceful untouched bush tracks. Bring along a pen and paper and count how many koalas you see sleeping in the trees above - some lucky guests have reported seeing up to 40 in one visit!
