About this tour
A 3 hour 50 minute shuttle tour from Burnie port that whisks you inland to Wings Wildlife Park for two hours of close encounters with Australian wildlife. The route follows the scenic Leven River back towards the coast, passing through Penguin village. You'll spot kangaroos, wallabies, Tasmanian Devils, koalas and parrots while staff explain the animals' behaviour and conservation efforts. The on-site café serves Tasmanian food, and the gift shop stocks local souvenirs. Your shuttle driver handles the transport to and from the ship.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from the cruise terminal and takes you inland towards Wings. Once there, you're free to wander the park at your leisure for two hours—there's no rigid itinerary, just you and the animals. The wildlife enclosures are accessible and viewing distances are close enough for decent photos. On the return journey, the route hugs the Leven River with glimpses of Penguin's quiet foreshore. The whole outing, including drive time, fits the 3 hour 50 minute window, so timing is tight but manageable. The café and shop are compact, so grab lunch early if you're peckish.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for walking the park. Bring sunscreen and a hat—there's limited shade. The shuttle departs on schedule, so set a phone alarm if you're losing track of time. Public transport is an alternative if you'd rather skip the organised shuttle.
