About this tour
Spend 45 minutes at Devils@Cradle sanctuary in Tasmania with a knowledgeable guide observing Tasmanian devils in their natural daytime routines. Watch them rest in dens, bask in the sun, wrestle with each other, or dig for meals while learning about their behaviour and the site's conservation efforts. You'll move at your own pace through the grounds, getting close views of these remarkable marsupials and understanding the work that keeps them thriving.
Highlights
- Observe devils sleeping, sunbathing, and foraging in real time
- Learn conservation strategies directly from experienced staff
- Walk through open sanctuary grounds at leisurely pace
- Photograph animals in semi-natural settings
- Accessible for most mobility levels with advance notice
What to expect
Your guide will lead you through Devils@Cradle's grounds, explaining what you're seeing as the animals go about their day. Rather than staged performances, you'll witness genuine behaviour—some devils will be dozing, others active and playful. The terrain includes some uneven surfaces and gentle slopes. You'll spend most of the 45 minutes outdoors, so dress for Tasmanian weather. Photography is encouraged, and your guide will point out details you'd miss alone, from feeding habits to individual personalities among the mob.
