Bespoke Wildlife Events

 Custom Wildlife Tours in Australia

For over 32 years, Wild Action has created unforgettable custom wildlife tours in Australia for corporate events, television productions, and high-profile functions. Our team of tertiary-trained zoologists bring professional, ethical animal entertainment to your event, backed by decades of commercial experience and partnerships with Australia’s biggest brands and broadcasters.

When you need more than a standard wildlife show – when you need animals that can handle live television, engage VIP guests, or create show-stopping moments at gala dinners – our bespoke Australian wildlife tour service delivers. 

We’ve worked at the Australian Open Tennis, Formula One Grand Prix, and countless corporate functions where professionalism and reliability matter most.

Corporate Event Entertainment

Gala Dinners & Awards Nights

Turn your gala dinner or awards night into an unforgettable experience with our bespoke wildlife tour Australia packages. Imagine guests mingling with koalas during pre-dinner drinks, or a surprise appearance by a baby kangaroo joey during award presentations. Our handlers move seamlessly through crowds, creating intimate animal encounters that break the ice and get people talking.

Unlike traditional go-to options, our corporate entertainment brings genuine wonder and excitement to formal events. Our animals are calm, well-trained, and comfortable in busy environments with music, lighting, and large crowds.

Conference & Convention Entertainment

Conference attendees have seen every type of keynote speaker and breakout session. A custom wildlife tour in Australia offers something genuinely different. We can provide wildlife displays during registration, animal ambassadors for networking sessions, or interactive presentations that align with your conference themes.

Our handlers are natural communicators who understand how to engage professional audiences without being cheesy or over-the-top. We match the tone of your event perfectly.

Team Building & Corporate Days

Our bespoke wildlife day out programs create unique team-building experiences that people actually remember. Instead of trust falls and rope courses, teams learn about animal care, conservation, and work together during hands-on wildlife encounters. These experiences foster genuine connections and create shared memories that strengthen workplace relationships.

We can host your team at our private 11-acre facility in the Macedon Ranges or bring our wildlife experience directly to your chosen venue.

Media & Television Productions

Commercial Television Appearances

With over 30 years of television experience, our animals and handlers are seasoned professionals. We’ve appeared on commercial TV shows, news broadcasts, and live morning programs where timing and reliability are everything. 

Our animals are desensitised to cameras, bright lights, sudden movements, and the controlled chaos of television studios.

TV Zoologist Chris Humfrey leads our media team, bringing encyclopedic wildlife knowledge and natural on-camera presence to every production.

Film & Documentary Support

Our private zoo houses over 2,000 animals across hundreds of species, making us one of Victoria’s most comprehensive animal actor resources. From cuddly koalas and kangaroos to critically endangered mountain pygmy possums, Tasmanian devils, cassowaries, crocodiles, and giant burrowing cockroaches – we have the animals your production needs.

Every animal actor comes with experienced handlers who understand film production requirements, timing, and safety protocols. We’re licensed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning as a Wildlife Displayer, permitting us to house rare, endangered, and critically endangered species unavailable elsewhere.

Press Events & Media Calls

Launch your product or campaign with memorable wildlife moments that journalists and photographers love. Our animals create photo opportunities that get shared across social media and featured in news coverage. We’ve supported countless press events where brands needed something special to cut through the noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What animals can appear at corporate custom Australian wildlife tours?

We have over 2,000 animals available, from koalas and kangaroos to Tasmanian devils and crocodiles. We’ll customise animal selection based on your venue, audience, and event goals. Some animals are better suited for quiet, intimate settings, while others thrive in busy, high-energy environments.

How much space is required for a bespoke wildlife tour?

Space requirements vary by package. Small presentations work in boardrooms or hotel suites. Larger events might use exhibition areas or outdoor spaces. We’ve adapted to everything from yacht decks to grand ballrooms – our team will assess your venue and recommend appropriate options.

Can animals appear on live television?

Absolutely. Our animals are specifically trained for live broadcasts and have appeared on numerous TV programs. They’re comfortable with cameras, lighting, and the unpredictable nature of live production. Our handlers understand broadcast timing and work seamlessly with production crews.

What about animal welfare?

Animal welfare is non-negotiable. We’re licensed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and maintain the highest care standards. We carefully select animals based on their comfort with specific environments, limit interaction times, and ensure animals have appropriate rest periods. If an animal shows stress, we immediately remove them from the situation.

How far in advance should bespoke Australian wildlife tours be booked?

For standard corporate events, book 3-4 weeks ahead. 

Television productions often need 1-2 weeks minimum for animal selection and logistics. High-profile events or those requiring rare species should be booked 6-8 weeks in advance to ensure availability of specific animals and our most experienced handlers.
