    Victor was an absolutely AMAZING guide! Funny, knowledgeable and damn right entertaining! The trip was perfect for a short afternoon. Bonorong is small but plenty to do. Also managed to catch the free tour for about 30 minutes which gave insight into some of the animals.

We’re thrilled to hear that Victor delivered an absolutely amazing experience — his humour, knowledge, and energy are a big part of what makes this tour special.We truly appreciate you joining us and taking the time to leave such a generous review.

    A once in a lifetime experience

    From the moment you arrive, this place feels truly magical. The staff are warm, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable, making you feel like a welcome guest rather than just a visitor. What sets this experience apart is the freedom to explore at your own pace—wandering through the grounds and forming genuine connections with the animals along the way. The diversity of wildlife is astonishing, and the on-site animal hospital, open for guests to observe, offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at conservation in action. Seeing a live Tasmanian devil up close was unforgettable, but the absolute highlight was hand-feeding the kangaroos—gentle, curious, and completely enchanting. This isn’t just a visit; it’s an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime experience that will stay with you long after you leave. A must-see for anyone who truly loves animals.

    Response from the operator: Hi Jill, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a warm and heart felt review. Your description captures exactly what we hope every guest feels on this tour: welcomed, unhurried, and able to connect with Tasmania’s wildlife in a way that feels personal and meaningful. Knowing that the warmth of the staff, the freedom to explore, and the chance to witness real conservation work all resonated with you is incredibly rewarding. Thank you again for sharing such a generous, beautifully written review.

    Tour at Bonorong, support the cause.

    Shaun, our driver/guide was really helpful and respectful. I found out that Richmond has quite a history and learned a lot about Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, they are doing great!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear Shaun made the tour enjoyable and that you learned so much at both Richmond and Bonorong. They really do incredible work, and it’s great to know the experience resonated with you.

    Bonorong Wildlife Park and Richmond Afternoon Tour from Hobart: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.

    How much does Bonorong Wildlife Park and Richmond Afternoon Tour from Hobart cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bonorong Wildlife Park and Richmond Afternoon Tour from Hobart take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.

    Is Bonorong Wildlife Park and Richmond Afternoon Tour from Hobart worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 126 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bonorong Wildlife Park and Richmond Afternoon Tour from Hobart?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bonorong Wildlife Park and Richmond Afternoon Tour from Hobart suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bonorong Wildlife Park and Richmond Afternoon Tour from Hobart?

    +

    Around 44 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bonorong Wildlife Park and Richmond Afternoon Tour from Hobart start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hobart?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Maria Island Cruise and Guided Walk Day Tour with Lunch and Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hobart?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hobart?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
