Embark on a unique evening experience to get up close to Tasmanian Devils and learn all about this fascinating little creature. Tour Devils@Cradle Wildlife Sanctuary at your own pace, then join an exclusive nighttime feeding tour with one of the sanctuary’s zookeepers.

Arrive at Devils@Cradle Wildlife Sanctuary to enjoy a self-guided tour within the sanctuary until the start of the tour. Devils @ Cradle is a unique Tasmanian conservation sanctuary located at the entrance to the spectacular World Heritage listed Cradle Mountain National Park.

Whilst concentrating primarily on the Tasmanian devil, the sanctuary is also home to the closely related Spotted-tail and Eastern quolls. Tasmania’s three largest carnivorous marsupials are all now threatened in one way or another in the wild.

Your after-dark feeding tour begins with a brief introduction to the three species managed within the sanctuary on the main wildlife viewing deck. Followed by the larger part of the tour, where you will enjoy a guided walk outside, within the sanctuary itself.

Your zookeeper guide will enter the enclosures and feed a number of these animals while explaining their behavior and discussing biology, threats, and conservation. If you have any questions about these extraordinary animals, they are happy to answer them for you.

Devils are a nocturnal species that is more active at night, the sanctuary uses environmentally sensitive lighting and focuses on the social interactions and feeding habits of these unique carnivores, allowing visitors a rare up-close opportunity to see Tasmanian devils in a group feeding situation.
