Wander among free-roaming wallabies and kangaroos, and witness the fascinating Tasmanian devils during a feeding session. Learn about their behavior and conservation efforts as you immerse yourself in the sanctuary’s mission to protect native animals.

Your tour concludes with a return to Hobart, where you’ll be dropped off dockside, enriched by the stories and experiences of this remarkable day. From history to wildlife, this excursion offers a perfect snapshot of Tasmania’s rich heritage and natural beauty.
