Today we did the Keepers Tour at 3pm which was included in our $20 admission. Jemma was so knowledgeable and passionate about the Devils and quolls breeding program and Pancake the wombat. .She explained everything in detail and kept everyone enthralled. This sanctuary is a real asset, and a highlight of our trip. We even stumbled on a devil eating a fresh piece of meat. Well done to all the staff, love the natural enclosures.

An amazing place! Wonderful way to see and learn about the Tasmanian devil. Such knowledgeable and passionate people. Great to know about the breeding program. The quolls really amazed me also and to find out so much about the endangered species. Also loved the surroundings - the way the park incorporates the natural myrtle forest. A must see!

Great experience. It was wonderful to get up so close to these magnificent creatures. The sanctuary is doing a wonderful job. The tour was very informative. Highly recommended.

This is a very interesting place to visit. The staff are so passionate about these animals and their ongoing long term survival and we all learned a lot about the history of these animals in Australia and what is being done to ensure they do not go extinct.

Made a brief stop here while visiting Cradle Mountain and was not disappointed. Plenty of fantastic photo opportunities of both the devils and quolls, as there are multiple large exhibits of each animal. The keepers' passion for animal conservation was obvious and they were extremely informative about the projects they supported. It was interesting hearing about how they selected which devils to use for breeding season and the keeper talk I observed showed us how they check in on the couple that they were attempting to breed at the time (early May). Definitely visit if you're going to be in the area!

The friendly, enthusiastic and dedicated staff and the opportunity to see the animals which are difficult to see in their natural environment, but mostly the excellent conservation effort being undertaken

This was a highlight of our trip. We got a great view of some very active devils and quolls. Probably more importantly the keeper’s talk gave us a great overview of the conservation situation. It was interesting from start to finish, not too long, not too short. This opinion was shared by everyone in attendance.

The tour guide was fabulous and informative. It was great to see the Tassie Devils so close up. The whole experience was great!

We had a full day in the Cradle Mountain area and with so much to do in this beautiful area, I was really pleased in the end that it was raining all day as may not have had time to visit this amazing place. Its focus is on the Tasmanian Devil, but also they care for other carnivorous marsupials such as the rare eastern spotted quoll. We joined the 3pm tour which was both factual and fascinating but we also joined the joey encounter tour, which enables one to stroke the young devils and quolls. We also got to stroke Pancake, the wombat. Both guides were great, didn’t catch their names. An amazing close up time with these rare animals and definitely worth a visit, if you have an interest in the unique Australian wildlife.

The tour guide was really knowledgeable and we’ve learnt a lot from this tour. We’ve also got to see a lot of cute Tasmanian devils and quolls. However, there were around 30 people in one tour and that made it hard to listen to the tour sometimes. I think smaller tour groups will make it to the next level.
