A fantastic way to get up close and personal with Tassie Devils, and really informative. We had the extra bonus of it snowing throughout our tour - truly magical. Exceptional value for money, highly recommend!
What a great find!

This place/ tour was fantastic- well above my expectations! The place itself was well set-out with many Devils and Quolls able to be viewed and active. But apart from this, I am so glad I decided to do the Keeper tour - he was so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. I learnt so much and highly recommend this experience!
Great places to visit in Tasmania

Had an awesome couple of hours. We did the keepers tour. The keepers have incredible knowledge and great passion for the animals. They only have quolls, Tasmania devils and wombats but they have a lot and you will be able get up close to these animals. A great way to support their work.

Absolutely fantastic, we added the Joey Experience and we loved it. Do yourself a favour as this is an absolute must do. They have Quolls, Devils and once Wombat called Pancake, but it is very rare to see her as she is picky on the weather, we wre lucky enough to see her
A fascinating opportunity to get up close and personal with devils and quolls

What a wonderful opportunity to see Tasmanian devils and quolls up close. Not only did we see them, we were able to learn about their unique place in the Tasmanian ecosystem and about these terrific efforts to ensure that they have a future in the wild. Not only was the tour educational we also walked away with a sense that we did something to help simply by being there and buying the tickets. Special shout out to our wonderful guide Zoe. She was knowledgeable passionate and very engaging. This was a unique and wonderful experience.
Hugely informative and interesting tour

We had the most amazing animal keeper as our tour guide! She was hugely knowledgeable and passionate about the Tasmanian Devil, Eastern Quoll and Spotted-Tailed Quoll, and the work being done at the Sanctuary to save, breed and repopulate areas with these unique and threatened carnivorous marsupials. We learnt so much about them and were able to view them with ease, and often up close, in their enclosures. We were free to wander around the sanctuary both before and after the 50 minute tour. We would highly recommend joining the Day Keeper Tour to enhance your experience of this wildlife conservation facility.
Great experience for all ages

We joined the one hour tour with Chris at 3 pm and found it fascinating. He was an excellent guide who was both knowledgeable and passionate about conservation of the Tasmanian devils, quolls and environment. We were so pleased that we chose this tour.
The best wildlife park experience.

I have been to many Tasmanian wildlife parks but this was the best by far. We managed to arrive as a guided tour was about to start (10.30). It was outstanding. The guide provided so much information over an hour about the devils and quolls as well as showing us physical features. Just fabulous.
It was a great tour! We...
