What you can expect
With a tour of Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, the nocturnal world comes alive and provides the ultimate in up-close-and-personal animal experiences. There are two options: the Premium Private Feeding Frenzy and the Group Feeding Frenzy. Join the famously friendly Bonorong staff and, over the course of 2 to 3 hours, venture into the enclosures to hand-feed various wondrous animals including golden possums, bettongs, sugar gliders, and tawny frogmouth owls – or even a Tasmanian Devil!
Many of the cutest and most memorable animals in Tasmania are only awake or active after dusk, so this option provides the perfect way to see them at their best. If you've got an interest in seeing some of Australia's rarest and most delicate wildlife under the cover of darkness, then book a Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary night tour online today at this ever-popular animal haven just a short drive from the Hobart CBD.

Excellent
Excellent, a must for any animal lover, it was fantastic to get up close & personal with a number of little critters & to learn first hand about marsupial's, there habit's & care. You also get fantastic photo opportunities, my husband is a keen photographer, his camera was kept extremely busy, as we went in & out of the enclosure's. A big thank you to Bob who showed us round, who is so passionate about the animal's they care for & so dedicated & informative. Bonorong is a great little place even if you visit during the day you would have a great time feeding all the kangaroo's roaming free. It's nice to know that visiting helps pay for Bonorong's rescue & rehabilitation of orphan & injured wildlife. Good luck Bonorong.
