Beautiful evening activity

Kerrie 3 November 2025

We had a great time on the sunset encounter! Our evening started with a beverage of our choice and a tour of the quoll enclosures. We then got to go into the tasmanian devil nursery and meet Tinker, a beautiful baby tasmanian devil. Tinker was up for some pats and was the cutest. After this we headed back to the deck to watch three of the adult devils have feeding time, with a campfire and delicious local treats. Our host/guide was so lovely and knowledgeable, taking time to answer everyone's questions and make sure everyone got some good photos of the baby devil. Would recommend this as a lovely evening activity!

Well worth it

Absolutely a must. The keepers are so passionate and well informed and really do love interacting with the animals, and want to let you know why you should help the endangered creatures. And you get up and close with the animals too!

Once in a lifetime experience

First time in Tas 20 October 2023

The joey experience was the highlight of our holiday. They are such placid, lovely little animals. The keeper held them in his arm, and we patted them. They drifted off to sleep. Simply adorable. They didn't like when the pats stopped, and would look up at you so you resumed. Highly recommended experience.
