Burnie's Caves & Wildlife Park
Discover the wild and whimsical inhabitants of Tasmania through its network of caves and wildlife park.
Uncover Burnie’s natural beauty when you head out to its incredible limestone caves. With a guide, you’ll step back through millions of years when you wander over winding stalagmite and stalactite trails, plus see an underground river, glowing from the tiny bioluminescent worms who live in the tranquil waters. Above ground you’ll explore Burnie’s wildlife park on your own to check out the local kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, and plenty of extraordinary creatures native to this area of the world.
