Bonorong Night Tour

Bonorong Night Tour

The Bonorong Night Tour takes you behind the scenes at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary for an exclusive 2.5-hour after-hours experience with Tasmania's native animals. Once daytime visitors depart, you'll have the sanctuary to yourself for intimate encounters with rescued Australian wildlife in their natural nocturnal state.

Hand-feed kangaroos with the complimentary food bag included in your ticket as these gentle marsupials settle into their evening routines. Your expert guide shares conservation stories about each resident, many of whom are orphans or recovering animals being rehabilitated for release back into the wild. The highlight comes during Tasmanian devil feeding time, where you'll observe these endangered creatures up close while learning about their conservation status.

As darkness falls, you'll encounter Eastern quolls, sugar gliders, and other nocturnal species as they become more active. This small-group tour ensures personalised attention from your guide, who provides insights into animal behaviour, conservation efforts, and the sanctuary's vital rescue work.

Good to Know

The tour runs for 2.5 hours and involves walking outdoors on uneven terrain, making it unsuitable for wheelchair access. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time for check-in. Dress warmly in layers and wear comfortable closed-toe shoes, as evening temperatures can be cool.

Photography is encouraged throughout the experience, offering unique opportunities to capture nocturnal animal behaviour. Adult supervision is required for children during all animal interactions. Additional animal food and souvenirs are available for purchase but not included in the ticket price.
