Bonorong is a Sanctuary for wildlife run by a passionate team of like-minded people. Were a social enterprise: a little business with a big heart. The funds generated through the Sanctuary allow us to proactively address problems in our surrounding environment and communities.
Transport from the cruise ship to this attraction is not included in the ticket cost, you will need to make your own arrangements.
A visit to Bonorong is a chance to come closer than ever to something wild and fragile. You'll come face to face with animals that became extinct long ago in other parts of Australia. The same animals that we are working hard to protect now.
By walking through our wooden gate, you'll become part of something special, everything we do, we do with your help. Your entry fees directly fund the running of the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, as well as the operation of the Wildlife Hospital and Wildlife Rescue Team.
Entry into the Sanctuary includes a free bag of kangaroo food, and access to our daily tours. Our roos roam free within the Sanctuary and are always keen for a good scratch on the chest and gentle hand feeding. Please wear comfortable shoes.
Public tours are included in your entry fee and take place every day at 10am, 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm and run for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, you will be able to meet our wombats, Tasmanian devils and other sanctuary residents.
Prefer to self-guide? Allow an absolute minimum of an hour to wander around the Sanctuary.
From all of us here at Bonorong (four feet, two feet or feathers), we look forward to seeing you soon!

Will I be able to hold or cuddle your animals?
Due to strict wildlife regulations and as we are a Sanctuary, guests are not permitted to cuddle or hold our animals. If you join one of our daily tours or a private encounter, you may have the opportunity to pat an animal - however this is always at the animal's discretion. We never force our animals to interact with guests.
You will have the opportunity to gently hand-feed our Forester Kangaroos - they are very calm around people and welcome soft chest rubs.
Can I feed your animals?
Upon entry to the Sanctuary you will be given a complimentary bag of food for the kangaroos. They will love meeting you, eating out of your hand and being given a gentle scratch on the chest! However we ask that you do not feed anything else to the animals, as some of our human food can be harmful to wildlife. We are trying to keep a careful eye on their diet in order to keep them healthy.
Are you open on public holidays?
We are open every day of the year, 9am to 5pm. This usually includes Christmas Day but it is best to contact us and check just in case.
How long will it take for me to see all the animals?
Most guests will be able to see the Sanctuary in about an hour. However, visitors with mobility issues or those wishing to see the park in more depth should allow more time. If you would like to join one of our daily public tours please allow an additional 45 minutes.
Do I have to pay to take photos of the animals?
No, we do not charge for photographs of any of the animals.
Can I buy food and drinks at Bonorong?
Yes you can. There is a gift shop that sells snacks and drinks as well as a cafe that serves 100% plant-based delicious food every day
