Peter was our driver/guide. He gave us much information about Richmond, Hobart and Tasmania on our way to Richmond. He made sure everyone was happy including my 10-year old daughter who looked a bit dull that day. He cared to show us around Bonorong before the start of the official tour and pretty much gave us a highlight around the Dock area. He’s just awesome!

Booked last minute the morning of and so happy we did! It was a lovely afternoon with a very knowledgeable tour guide. The sanctuary is a wonderful place to visit and a great way to get up close with wildlife in an ethical way. The care these wonderful people show to the animals and their well-being is heartwarming. Thanks for a great afternoon!

Our cruise ship was diverted from Port Arthur to Hobart and we found this tour on-line. When we arrived at 12:00 the 1:00 tour was sold out but Tim found an additional vehicle and we were off. Tim was a great tour guide throughout. The Richmond gaol, bridge, and town were great from a historical perspective. The sanctuary was a real jewel. We went to see Tasmanian Devils which we saw in great numbers, but we also saw wombats, rare birds, emus, snakes, and were able to feed and touch the kangaroos that were roaming free. It was also good to know that the facility was staffed with volunteers and all the money was being used for animal rescue and rehabilitation.

Evan was our driver, and in addition to being fun and funny, he was quite knowledgeable about what we were seeing. We loved Bonorong, and he took us several other places, too. We would go on another Gray Line tour in a heartbeat . . . and we did!

Hand feeding the kangaroos was amazing ! The rangers were so knowledgeable and friendly. Wish we had a bit longer there.

We went to see the Tassie Devils as this was one animal we had not seen before. The view was great and we were close to the animals - others to were interesting.

A fantastic place where animals are cared for and rehabilitated! Wonderful people, the 'feeding frenzy' tour was an amazing spectacle, feeding most of the meat eaters, including the Tasmanian devil. I highly recommend this place!!

Small bus, so not a massive group, which was good and a chatty driver. An hour or so exploring Richmond, a quaint town with a good ice cream shop! Then, to the wildlife sanctuary to see Tasmanian Devils and echidna. Sadly, the wombats were asleep after a hard day of being looked at. Lots of kangaroos to hand feed and knowledgable guide for the included talk. Worth the trip.

Lovely seeing the small quaint village of Richmond, the gaol and the oldest bridge in Australia. Bonorong caters to injured native animals, fed the kangaroos and lorikeets by hand. Phil, the driver was full of information and stories and kept all regaled with his wit.

It was a enjoyable park. Tara was a great guide 😊 with lots of information about each animal. It is wonderful that they help these injured animals. Worth the visit.
