Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park Tours

This is a great choice for animal lovers in Tasmania. Enjoy a close encounter with Tasmanian Devils by visiting Devils@Cradle. You’ll save time waiting in long entrance lines as entrance fees are included, and a guide will enhance your tour with a guided walk around the sanctuary. Learn about Tasmanian Devil behavior, biology, and conservation, before seeing them being fed in their enclosure with environmentally sensitive lighting.

Get up close and personal with some of Tasmania’s cutest residents on this exclusive encounter. Visit Devils@Cradle after regular closing hours and meet some of sanctuary’s quolls and Tasmanian Devils in a small group, all while sampling locally-sourced wine, beer and produce. Then, as the sun sets, take a walk around the sanctuary to its largest devil enclosure to watch these little critters feed.

You’ll get so much more out of visiting Cradle Mountain National Park by joining a guided tour with a knowledgeable guide. Spend two hours touring the park and visiting its highlights. Enjoy the mountain views across Dove Lake, spot local wildlife, and amble through ancient forest, all while learning about the park’s significant biodiversity.

See Devils@Cradle’s adorable residents during the day on this leisurely tour around this wildlife sanctuary. Walk around the enclosures and see the sanctuary’s Tasmanian devils and quolls as they sleep, play and feed. Learn about their day-to-day lives from your guide, one of the sanctuary’s experienced keepers, and hear more about the conservation efforts helping to protect these adorable marsupials and keep them thriving in Tasmania.

Join us at lunchtime for an informative guided walk through the sanctuary viewing all of our resident species, and concluding with an immersive Tasmanian devil feeding session in one of our largest Tasmanian devil enclosures. Our devils are most active and ‘rowdy’ at feeding time, and our largest and only walk through enclosure, provides the opportunity to get a 360-degree viewing of this feeding activity. Our experienced guides will provide commentary on the infamous feeding behaviour and diet of these unique Tasmanian carnivores, as well as an overview of our conservation work.
