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. 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. Choose between a group tour or the more exclusive, privately guided evening tour for a very special experience.

Genuinely beautiful
Matt my tour guide for the night was phenomenal. Even the staff before my tour were all so welcoming and acknowledging those who are on tours made it feel very personal. I was privileged enough to be alone on the tour and to know about the history, purpose and get to know each animal and their history was beautiful. The knowledge & passion Matt gave really conveyed the true meaning and purpose of Bonorong. I cannot thank Matt and the team enough for an unforgettable experience, to understand the needs of each animal and I will definitely be back.
