More about this tour.

Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is about 30 minutes north of Hobart, and public transport there is not easy.

Wombats, koalas and native birds round out the afternoon, and the shuttle leaves the sanctuary at 3:30pm.Sanctuary entry is paid separately at Bonorong, so you only book the ride here.

  • 1pm departure, returning from Bonorong at 3:30pm
  • 11am departure on selected cruise ship days, returning from Bonorong at 1:30pm
