What to expect
After meeting your guide, you'll stroll through the sanctuary observing various resident animals before the main event. The tour culminates in the walk-through enclosure where devils feed—expect noise, movement, and genuine chaos as these stocky marsupials compete for meat. They're most animated at this time, displaying the ferocity that earned their notorious reputation. Your guide talks through their natural behaviours, dietary needs, and why the sanctuary's work matters for species survival. The walk involves some uneven ground, and you're outdoors for most of the hour regardless of weather.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing—conditions are exposed. Prams and strollers work on accessible paths. Children need adult supervision. Service animals are welcome. You'll need your own transport to the sanctuary; no hotel pickups offered.
