All About
Tasmanian Devil Joey Encounters
Highlights
Duration: 45 minutes
Location: Cradle Mountain, TAS
The Joey Encounter tour will take a small group of LUCKY visitors behind the scenes to our animal nursery, where you will interact (face to face) with some of our youngest residents. This is a unique opportunity and will be a very special and memorable experience, ideal for families with young children, or animal lovers of any age.
Operating at 12pm & 4pm daily this tour will incorporate handling by our keepers, and afford visitors the opportunity to pat and get photographs with these beautiful young ambassador animals.
Many of these hand-reared animals will remain at the sanctuary as species ambassadors and will become important breeding animals in the next year or two. When joining this tour you will be directly supporting these animals and threatened species conservation.
Inclusions:
- The admission ticket for this tour also includes free day entry and Day Keeper tour, so before or after your Joey Encounter why not join one of our Day Keeper tours to learn all about the operations of this unique alpine sanctuary.
Important Information
Guidelines
Check-in details
- Please check-in at reception 10 mins before your tour start time.
Special requirements
- Children 3 and under are free of charge. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Disclaimers
** Please note**
- Devils and quolls are marsupials with annual breeding cycles. Whilst we do use our young ambassadors, it is not always possible for us to have very young joeys available for these encounters. Breeding does vary slightly from season to season, but generally speaking, our hand-reared animals used on this tour are considered joeys (~Oct-Apr) and juveniles or sub-adults (~May-Sept).
- We will endeavour to introduce you to one or more of our focused species (devils and/or quolls), however this cannot always be guaranteed. Where these species are not available, we will introduce you to one or more of our rescued orphaned animals.
- We value our animals’ welfare above all else, therefore each animal will only be included in the tour, or stay on the tour for any length of time, when they feel comfortable in doing so.
- Please contact us prior to booking if you would like more information for these encounters throughout the year.
- Pricing may change at any time at the discretion of the supplier (prior to purchase). Please see the calendar on this page for the most up to date pricing and information on this experience.
- Bookings with Fareharbor are subject to the terms and conditions outlined by the tour provider.
