East Coast Natureworld sits amongst 150 acres of natural coastal bushland and lagoons in Bicheno Tasmania. It is the perfect place to experience Tasmania’s unique wildlife.
The extensive park grounds allow you to relax and wander around at your own leisure, whether you come to grab a coffee and stretch your legs or feed our friendly kangaroos as part of the Great Eastern Drive, we’ve got something for everyone.
Wildlife Encounters
The animals in East Coast Natureworld are primarily Tasmanian and Australian native animals, rehabilitated wildlife that cannot be released, and surrendered pets.
Wombats and Echidnas are always a highlight among visitors with the ability to see them out and about during the day. You can also get closer to them through a conservation encounter.
Have you ever seen a Quoll? Or do you even know what they are? Quolls are cousins of the Tasmanian Devil, they are sometimes referred to as the native cat, and all of them are threatened species.
Aside from these animals, get to experience the nocturnal house and have encounters with golden brush-tail possums, sugar gliders, bandicoots and Masked Owls to name a few.
We have an array of different wildlife encounters and experiences throughout the day, all guided by one of our experienced zookeepers. Encounters are exclusive and the wellbeing and respect of our animals and your safety are our first priority. All encounters have a maximum number each day so we advise you to pre-book so you don’t miss out.
Bonding through Nature Adventures
Take the time to experience what has been called ‘the best Tassie Devil experience in Tasmania’ — “Devils in the Dark” tour. This tour is as wild and natural as it gets. It is an unforgettable after dark experience watching Tasmanian Devils devour a whole carcass, where all your senses are activated. You’ll be undercover in a spacious hide, watching as if you were a film maker for National Geographic.
