WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Hobart
Mt. Field offers a variety of walks in one of Tasmania’s oldest National Parks. Most famous for Russell Falls & the Tall Trees track we explore the various walks in this diverse Park which is a short 1.5 hour drive from Hobart
2. Horseshoe Falls
Russell Falls is easily Tasmania’s most recognisable waterfall with its 3-tiered drop. It is an easy and enjoyable walk along a beautiful forest track among mixed forest and temperate rainforest species. This is Tassie’s most photographed waterfall, and we soak up the awesome view before continuing our walk. Just beyond Russell Falls we climb the stairs to Horseshoe Falls, a majestic waterfall snuggled in the forest, which some regard as even more impressive than Russell Falls!
3. Tall Trees Walk
A short 30 minute circuit trail takes us around the Tall Trees Track. High above us stand the giant Swamp Gums around 80 metres tall. This is a series of short, spectacular walks amongst the cool and quiet rainforest, eucalypts, streams, and local wildlife.
4. Lady Barron Falls
We continue along the Three Falls Circuit and enter the section known as the Tall Trees Track. High above us stand the giant Swamp Gums around 80 metres tall, the world's tallest flowering plant. From here, we have the option to continue the full circuit along the Three Falls Circuit, taking us onwards to Lady Barron Falls, or for the less active, we can return back to our start point.
5. Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary
Next up is Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary where you’ll meet all kinds of native wildlife. Learn about Tasmania’s rare and precious fauna during an informative wildlife tour conducted by the expert staff at Bonorong.
6. Mount Wellington
To top off this very Tasmanian day we head to the summit of kunanyi /Mt. Wellington. Standing high above Hobart at 1271m on a clear day is nothing short of spectacular. The views from the top are expansive. This is a fantastic way to wrap up a day exploring many of Tassie’s most unique and noteworthy experiences, rainforests, waterfalls, wildlife, and fabulous scenery. We return to Hobart around 5.30pm.

It is quite tiring for someone who does not hike a lot, however the view is worth the hike for sure. The tour guide was knowledgeable, loved all the local information provided by Heather.

Jarrod was our tour guide and driver. He took the 8 of us on a tour covering 4 locations. We did an easy downhill hike through a beautiful temperate rainforest with waterfalls, then an animal rescue conservancy that included a guided explanation of several indigenous species, then the picturesque village of Richmond for lunch (we loved the scallop pie and for dessert lavender ice cream, both of which he recommended) and wandering, then the Pinnacle Lookout over Hobart. We covered over 100 kilometers and much of it on scenic 2 lane roads.
We were picked up from our hotels at 7:45-ish and dropped off about 4:40: an all day experience with lots of panoramic views from the van interspersed with narration about history, nature, and local culture.
We were thoroughly pleased.

I had the best time on this tour. The tour guide Ian had a wealth of knowledge of Tasmania and I learnt so much. The rainforest walk was both beautiful and relaxing. The Tassie Devils we so cute!! And Mt Wellington felt other worldly, it was brilliant! Highly recommend!!

An unforgettable journey through Tasmania's wonders! The Russell Falls/Tall Trees walk, Mt. Wellington & Tassie Devils Rescue Sanctuary visit was a perfect blend of nature and adventure. The lush beauty of Mount Field National park, the breathtaking views from Mt. Wellington, and the unique encounter with Tassie Devils made this day truly exceptional. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Highly recommended! Bring some warm clothes for Mt Wellington.

Book this now & do not hesitate. This trip was absolutely unforgettable. Our guide, Ian, could not have been a more perfect leader: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable and funny. As tourists who didn’t feel comfortable renting a car, we were grateful for the drive and views (and comfort stops with food options). You walk through the rainforest and feel like you’re in Jurassic Park, and somehow, it gets more beautiful throughout the trip. The Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is both exotic and personal. For someone from the northern hemisphere who has only read about these creatures — laughing with kookaburras, up close with tasmanian devils, and feeding kangaroos underneath flocks of wild cockatoos — it all felt unreal. The winding road to Mt. Wellington was breathtaking. Clouds (and rainbows!) shrouded the view at the top but we saw glimpses and were given time to explore (and weather is certainly out of human control). We cannot stress this enough: take this tour (and if possible, on a Monday or Tuesday with Ian!).

Walks to the falls. It seemed a bit rushed going to the wildlife sanctuary, and especially Mt Wellington. Nick was good. I can’t I imagine how it would have been trying to keep a whole bus load together. There were only three of us and it went quickly. Glad I booked it.

It's a great day, spending time in natural environment. Nick, the guide was very kind. However, the estimate time stated in website is 11 hours, but in that day it's about 9 hrs. I expected to have a little bit more time for each stop, I think it's a little bit too rush.
