Koala Opportunities
There are a number of ways that you can meet a koala at Lone Pine.
Meet a Koala
During this free experience, you can stand next to a koala, held by a Wildlife Officer. Enjoy pats and ask all of your koala questions.
You are welcome to take photos on your own phone or camera (no costs apply).
Available 11:00-11:30am and 1:30-2:00pm daily.
Hold a Koala
Available daily from 9:30am*
Koala holding experiences start at $25 per person and include a professional printed photograph and high resolution download.
Koala holding at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Whilst we hope for all guests to have the opportunity to meet a koala, the holding of a koala cannot be guaranteed on any given day. Reasons for this may include:
- Reduced number of handling koalas due to breeding season.
- Weather events (e.g heatwaves or flooding).
- Legal maximum koala handling time reached.
- Koala's choice. We do not force interactions upon our koalas.
*Subject to availability. Click here for further information.
