A Wildlife Sanctuary with a difference
Trowunna is a privately owned wildlife sanctuary where native Tasmanian fauna and flora thrive. Trowunna started caring for Tasmania’s native animals in 1979 and it continues to be at the forefront of conservation and education in the state. The Sanctuary is currently involved in five separate conservation breeding programs that will ensure the survival of these threatened and endangered species. The Sanctuary has 70 acres of natural habitat to wander around and enjoy with free ranging Kangaroos and waterfowl to hand feed along the way. We also have our renowned daily interactive guided tours which provide a wonderful, intimate and educational experience for the whole family.
Tours
We have wildlife interactions to suit everyone! Our free, daily interactive tours are family friendly and are included in the price of your entry fee. If something more in-depth is your thing, then maybe our 1-2 hour VIP tours or a 4 hour Trowunna experience would be more suitable.
Conservation
Trowunna has been at the heart of Tasmanian wildlife conservation and education since 1979. The Sanctuary was instrumental in the establishment of the Save The Devil program and the training of keepers from around the world necessary for the devils care.
