Cradle Mountain Wildlife Spotting after Dark

It was an incredible experience. We saw 2 wombats, a Tasmanian devil, and numerous pademelons, wallabies, and bush tailed possums.

Definitely should do this experience if you like wildlife. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and answered so many questions. I am seeing so many Wombats, Tasmania Padmellon, Wallaby, possums.

Lovely night tour with Jim and Rachel. We saw wallabies, pademelons, wombats, possums with joeys. An interesting tour with enjoyable guides

The tour guides were awesome and it was a nice small group. If you want to see lots of cute wombats, this is the tour for you.

Highly recommend if you could put your hands up as a volunteer as you will get a big torch and sit right in front of the bus to do the spotting on the way back which made my tour so worthwhile! I saw a lot of animals in the dark and heaps of wombat and wallaby! Highly recommend for people who have kids and the evening adventure was my daughter‘a favorite of the trip!

Our driver Flea was friendly and knowledgeable and k ew all the places to find these animals. We saw a lot of wildlife in nature. Wombats, quolls, possums, wallabies, and even one echidna. We learnt a lot about these unique and special Australian animals from her. Highly recommend this experience if you are visiting Cradle Mountain at night.

The bus driver was knowledgeable about the various animals. We did not have much luck finding many animals.

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She knew the right locations to get to see some of the local wildlife. We got see: Wombats, Quolls, Echidnas, Wallabys and possums. All around, great experience!!

Our guide, Flea, was very friendly; however, she could have been a bit more knowledgeable about the various animals. Trying to spot animals with a single torch at the front and back of the group was difficult along the boardwalk at Ronny Creek. We did see a fair number of wombats, but we had seen them earlier in the day when we were on our own. There were a few quolls that showed themselves, but we were at the back of the line and had a hard time seeing them - and they move very fast. Fortunately, we had just done the Devil and Quoll feeding at Devil's Cradle, so felt we had gotten a good look at them. On the bus, the folks sitting next to the windows could see animals as they were spotted, but - again - I was on an inside seat and it was hard to see anything. Flea was good about taking time to stop the van so everyone could have a chance to see what had been spotted. In fact, our best wildlife spotting was when we were dropped back at the Visitors Center and heard a possum joey go into the rubbish bin in the toilets. Mom followed soon after and we were able to get a good look at both. Not knowing what to do, we simply lifted the lid on the bid in hopes they would eventually make their way out. I'm sure the experience is different from night to night, and we maybe just got an evening when there weren't a lot of animals out.

If you have seen Wombats and Pademelons at Ronny’s Creek, no need to do this tour. We’re lucky enough to see a Quoll though. Tour guides were lovely.
