A private tour of the Raptor Refuge is unforgettable! It’s a rare opportunity to see the raptor rehabilitation facility first-hand, where they’ve helped injured birds of prey return to the wild for over 20 years.
Explore the grounds with friendly and knowledgeable guides. Discover how fast peregrine falcons can fly, see a rare grey goshawk, witness the silent flight of masked owls, and get up close to Australia’s largest raptor—the majestic Tasmanian Wedge-tailed Eagle.
Located just 30 minutes from Hobart in peaceful bushland, the refuge includes some of Tasmania’s largest aviaries and a purpose-built Education Centre. The display birds have permanent injuries that prevent their release. They now help educate the public about raptors and conservation.
Tours last 90 minutes and include time for photos and questions. They run Monday to Saturday at 10am, 12pm, and 2pm. Bookings must be made via the website at least 12 hours in advance.
They’re a non-profit organisation dedicated to protecting Tasmania’s raptors. All funds raised go directly toward their care and rehabilitation.
If you’re looking to extend your visit, eco-accommodation is available next door at Eagle Ridge Retreat—two beautiful, semi-luxurious wilderness studios nestled in the bush. While operated separately from the Refuge, they offer a peaceful stay with stunning views and are perfect for nature lovers. You can find more information by searching “Eagle Ridge Retreat”.
