A Must Visit in Southern Tasmania Awesome place to visit.

A really wonderful cause, such a beautiful thing these people are doing.

Private tours are really interesting, informative and entertaining.

A must visit if you are in southern Tas

Great bird viewing Simply wonderful. I adore watching Raptors, so to see some up close is magical. We had booked a tour, then were asked to change the time, which was easy. We were travelling from St Mary's, so were a trifle late. Luckily the others in the group did not mind that we were late. Lovely guide talked about each of the rescued birds and about the work of the refuge to hopefully release these beautiful creatures back into the wild. ( I do apologise, I cannot remember our guides name, but she was great).
Great place, highly recommend.

Raptor Paradise for Avian Enthusiasts I don't know what to say about this spot. It was better than I had imagined. An wounded eagle had to be carried in, which caused the tour to be delayed. An educational video introducing the raptors they care for and their rehabilitation process was shown at the beginning of the trip. They went on to say that the birds on exhibit are there because they are injured and would be unable to survive in nature. Much obliged to the entire staff as well.

Fun and inspiring The Serendipitous Eagle Encounter is terrific. Our tour guide Ziggy was friendly and knowledgeable; he was obliging with all of our questions, and so clearly passionate about the care that the Refuge provides for their birds. We saw a variety of birds and were pleased to see them comfortable and happy, despite the injuries and misfortunes that first brought them there. They have their own personalities, and Ziggy knows them all so well, which was so touching and enjoyable for us to see. Several thoughtful demonstrations, such as feeding rituals and interaction with Ziggy, elicited these characterful behaviours for us to observe. We especially enjoyed seeing the Masked Owls invited to feed, demonstrating their remarkably silent flight.

The Refuge is neat and clean, yet full of charming touches like murals and wood carvings. The surrounding bushland is surprisingly serene, despite its convenient proximity to the Channel Highway. We enjoyed a provided picnic by the pond, and peacefully observed the Wedge Tailed Eagles.

The overall experience, while sobering, was incredibly warming, inspiring and fun. Highly recommended for animal lovers.

Do not miss this experience An experience not to be missed. Our guide Kyah was knowledgeable and displayed excellent people skills. She conveyed her passion and enthusiasm for the birds and passed this on to her audience. And what wonderful work the refuge performs. The care displayed even extends to the beautiful raked paths and serene surroundings. Congratulations on your skill, visiting your refuge has been on my bucket list. Many thanks.

A Place for the Birds Our visit to the Raptor Refuge was as informative as it was inspiring. The birds were beautiful and the stories of how they got to this rehabilitation facility were an important reminder of the things people do—sometimes accidentally, and sometimes maliciously—to these magnificent birds. Craig’s passion and enthusiasm were remarkable.

Awesome! Did our tour today with Craig and we were blown away by the incredible birds, the amazing facility and the wonderful work Craig and his staff do. Highly recommend booking a tour!

Raptor Fans Heaven We were staying in the vicinity of the Raptor Refuge in the beautiful town of Cygnet and decided to book an appointment to visit this life saving refuge. On arrival we were greeted by our wonderful guide who kept us enthralled with her amazing knowledge of each raptor and patiently answered all of our questions (which were a lot 😂) for the one & a half hours.
The work behind the scenes that is undertaken to medically rehabilitate and return the once injured raptors to the wild is humbling.
Please support this amazing refuge and understand that is what it is, not a zoo! Loved every minute of the tour and highly recommend a visit.

An amazing tour experience An amazing refuge doing amazing work.
We went on the tour today with Oli as our host. A very passionate and informative host who shared her knowledge with us.
We were able to see and hear about the work the team at the refuge do, and felt incredibly lucky to share this experience with our family.
We would highly recommend this experience, and wish the refuge continued success in its rehabilitation programs.

Definitely recommend 👌🏻 I took my son and my mother to Raptor Refuge as a 70th Birthday Present to my mum. She was so happy to tick this experience off her bucket list. The birds were stunning/impressive/majestic/adorable (take your pick) and our guide Kaia was lovely. Very informative and friendly, and very patient with my seven year old and his 1008 questions.

OWLING SUCCESS Can’t recommend this place highly enough. I’m mobility challenged ; they accommodated me so well that I was able to celebrate my 80th birthday joyfully with the owls and other raptors.

The refuge uses road kill to feed the birds;pity the poor collectors! Some birds can’t be rehabilitated and become permanent residents; great care is taken to maintain their natural feeding and flight patterns.

Sad that they are dependent on donations and one can see every cent goes on the birds. Go. Again and again. Give them a donation and become a friend. Volunteer if you are a Taswegian.

10/10 Thank you so much for the amazing tour!!! The world is lucky to have places like this. Really fun and interesting experience. Would definitely recommend.
