King's Run Wildlife Tours
King's Run Wildlife Tours are interpretive wildlife tours of a stunning coastal property near Marrawah.
Formerly used for cattle grazing, today this spectacular private land near Marrawah is dedicated to protecting Tasmania’s unique native wildlife.
The main feature of King’s Run is its nocturnal wildlife; you’ll see an abundance of wallabies, bandicoots, spotted-tail quolls and even the elusive Tasmanian devil. Geoff King has developed a method of viewing the devil in the wild so you can see the world’s largest carnivorous marsupial in its natural environment.
From Geoff’s rustic fisherman’s shack you’ll be able to watch through the window as these fascinating creatures feed on the road-killed animal Geoff has picked up. You’ll experience a range of devil behaviour and noises, picked up by a sound monitor hidden outside, as more devils come to feed on the carcass.
In order to prevent devils becoming dependent on Geoff’s feeding the tour operates no more than five days in a fortnight and no more than three days in a row.

Kings Run Wildlife ToursThis tour takes you to King's Run the 830 acre coastal property that has been in the King family since 1880. Since the late 1990s Geoff has been working to preserve and protect this amazing piece of wild coastline. You will see wallabies, wombats, pademelons, possums and if you are lucky spotted tail quolls and bandicoots. Geoff takes you to a rustic shack hidden behind giant quartzite boulders where he sets out a road kill animal carcass. From your viewing window you can watch the devils as they come in to feed, and learn about this unique and endangered marsupial. | |
