What to expect
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, is set on 27 hectares and home to Australia’s most iconic native wildlife. As a not-for-profit organisation, the Sanctuary invests proceeds back into caring for wildlife, facilitating one of the busiest wildlife hospitals in the world, maintaining operations of over 15 conservation projects, and educating guests on the importance of protecting and preserving wildlife and the natural environment.
The Sanctuary is nestled in the heart of the Gold Coast, just a 30-minute drive from Surfers Paradise, less than 10-minutes' drive from Gold Coast Airport and situated less than 500m from one of the best surf beaches in the world.
Home to a diverse array of Australian native wildlife, guests have the opportunity to feed kangaroos, meet koalas, and learn all about the incredible animals that call the Sanctuary home. Sit back and enjoy one of the many daily interactive shows and educational presentations. Be captivated by native birdlife showcasing natural behaviours at Wild Skies Free Flight Bird Show or immerse in First Nations culture at the Aboriginal Cultural Presentation.
