    Tasmanian Devil Feeding Tour . November 2023
    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour at Devils @Cradle . Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Tasmanian devils and the Quolls in residence there. We got to spend as much time as we wanted looking around following the tour . The Devils are quite fascinating and it’s good to see the conservation efforts being made to ensure their species survives . Also good to know that visitors are helping to keep the sanctuary going buy visiting and buying tickets as they do not get any funding from anywhere to help with the running costs .

    Great experience and value for money
    This was a really good animal experience. Sarah led the group and was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic. You’re able to get a really look look at both Tasmanian Devils and Quolls as well as learn a great deal about both species. I considered it money well spent and took a gazillion photos and videos 😊

    Highly recommend this encounter
    Highly recommend this self funded Tasmanian Devil and Quoll animal conservation. A very informative hour long walk through the park with lots of young, juvenile and adult Devils on view. The presentation, by Prue, was both interesting and entertaining. The feeding of 5 adult male Devils was quite a show. Highly recommend

    Top Experience and a Must Do
    We did the 7:00pm feeding tour which included time with a Joey which we both loved. This tour exceeded what I expected and I left with more knowledge and appreciation of these amazing creatures. The keeper/tour guide was superb, thank you (I have a new appreciation of poo 😂). Highly recommended. You need to book ahead. Do the late tour if you can.

    Make sure you visit the devils!
    Excellent, informative experience …guides are wonderful and spend plenty of time interacting with visitors, asking and answering every question …very patient with the children in our group. The guides clearly love their jobs and the animals they care for. It is amazing to see the devils n quolls feeding …they are ferocious and crunch through even a possums head!! Highly recommend everyone visiting. We combined a day visit in the morning then returned for the night feeding …..fantastic experience.

    Cutie devils
    We had a really interesting feeding tour with Rory. He answered lots of questions and was really passionate and knowledgeable. Cutie little animals even if watching them eat is a bit gross. Also gave us some gloves to pick up road kill on the long drive back to Hobart. Was great fun flinging it in bushes to keep the roads clear of tassie devils searching for food.

    Incredible experience
    What a wonderful experience!! Our tour guide PRU was friendly and knowledgeable and made the evening both educational and enjoyable. I came away from the experience with a heap of new information I didn’t know and a new love and appreciation for both the animals and the hard work devils at cradle do to help preserve and raise awareness about the devils and quolls. Any questions we had Pru was able to answer in great detail. The baby devils were definitely my favourite part of the experience and it was really nice to finish off with a lovely platter of Tassie sweets. Highly recommend this experience!!

    Interesting and informative
    Very educational and informative. My 5 year old got a bit restless towards the end so probably better suited for kids a little older. You get to see the devils and quolls up close in their sanctuary environment and I have a new appreciation for these amazing carnivorous marsupials! The tour guide was really passionate and entertaining.

    Fantastic experience. Great guide
    The staff were really welcoming. We were unable to make the original booking (snow) and they readily suggested an alternate time. The Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to a range of different needs within our group. Very worthwhile

    Devils Upclose
    We learn a lot of interesting facts about the Devils from our guide. The guide fed the devils a dead animal which made me a little queasy watching the Devils tear it apart. I thought it was costly for the state of facilities. I realise they are not funded and possibly the reason why.

    A must do experience
    A great experience, rangers talk was informative and very interesting. Feeding time tour is a must do experience. Make sure you go a bit earlier and see them calmly laying around before the food comes out.

We did the day keeper tour at 3pm. We learnt so much from the guide - she had so much knowledge about the Devils, quolls & wombat there. We got some great photos & it was entertaining watching the devils interact with each other. Great value & give a senior discount.

We did the 3pm day keeper tour and it was thoroughly fascinating. Our guide, Chris, was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about the conservation of the devils and quolls. A very informative afternoon that we highly recommend! It’s also great that the ticket cost goes towards the facility.

We had a really knowledgeable guide. Answered all our questions. There were loads of animals. We were worried about going in day and not at feeding time but they have so many, chilling out in the sun and playing. Easy viewing for out little kids.

This was better than I thought it would be. We did the basic tour, which meant that we could stay as long as we liked. We were also able to join the basic guided tour of the facility. It was a superp guided day tour by a very knowledgeable guide.
So impressed with the fact that this place is helping in a small way to help save endangered animals. The Devils and 2 species of quolls. They also help with other injured animals where they can and at the time of our visit had a wombat in residence.

We had a full day in the Cradle Mountain area and with so much to do in this beautiful area, I was really pleased in the end that it was raining all day as may not have had time to visit this amazing place. Its focus is on the Tasmanian Devil, but also they care for other carnivorous marsupials such as the rare eastern spotted quoll. We joined the 3pm tour which was both factual and fascinating but we also joined the joey encounter tour, which enables one to stroke the young devils and quolls. We also got to stroke Pancake, the wombat. Both guides were great, didn’t catch their names.

An amazing close up time with these rare animals and definitely worth a visit, if you have an interest in the unique Australian wildlife.

Hi David, Thanks for visiting. We are glad you enjoyed your time and experiences here. The Joey encounter is a beautiful way to interact with the Joeys and gain an insight into their infancy. We often find it amusing that people tend to remember the name of Pancake but not the guides 😉 Cheers, Devils@cradle Team

This was a highlight of our trip. We got a great view of some very active devils and quolls. Probably more importantly the keeper’s talk gave us a great overview of the conservation situation. It was interesting from start to finish, not too long, not too short. This opinion was shared by everyone in attendance.

This was my favourite highlight in Tassie !
A bucket list item for myself, it was amazing to see them running around, screaming at each other and being able to learn about them on the day keepers tour.
Definitely an unmissable experience on a visit to the area.

Rory gave us a true insight into these unique creatures, & he had such compassion towards them. We expected them to all be asleep as we missed the night show, but during the day they are very active and easier to spot too.
