Once there, spend time getting warm and friendly with a Tasmanian devil! Take a guided tour and learn the habits of native animals.

It was great. I would like the tour to be a little longer, as I did not have much time to feed the kangaroos. And also I felt it was a bit rushed in Richmond. But overall it was great, and the driver/guide is an amazing friendly person. Totally recommend it!

When driver Neil picked me up on Saturday, I knew it was going to be a great day. I'd had him 3 times during my visit here to Tasmania. His customer service is A1 and I thoroughly enjoyed Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Thank you once again for making my holiday so special. Kind regards Renee Martin

Good but only one hour in a Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary

It's was very nice to see the famous Tasmanian Devil You see also a lot of kangaroos, koalas and other animals Unfortunately, you stay only one hour inside , it's too short . Than you go visit a little town but I would prefer to stay in the sanctuary .. The guide, Sue, was very friendly and funny :)
