Breathtaking Tasmania: Wildlife, Mt. Peaks & Historic Villages

The tour guide was amazing! Immense knowledge of Tasmania, Hobert and the flora and fauna of the area. Loved his passion!

Had a good day all places on the tour were beautiful. Bret the guide was really informative which made it a great day

Brett was a great guide, having worked in the animal support industry. Plus he knew all the area strengths and concerns.

Great tour, sort of a Tasmania sampler. Brett was really informative and I enjoyed learning about Australian wildlife from him. My only complaint with the tour was that there was a couple on it who were constantly late. They made us miss our keeper tour at the wildlife sanctuary. Brett was really too polite to say anything to them so they just kept being late and eating into our time. Other tour operators have said they would leave you if late and either come back themselves for you later or have someone from the company round up the stragglers. I didn’t appreciate that these two individuals were allowed to affect the entire group as they did. Their being so late wasn’t in the operator’s control, but how it was handled just having to all sit around waiting didn’t seem right either. It’s very cold on the top of Mt Wellington so bring an extra layer so you can appreciate the views without freezing to death.

The Mount Wellington and Russel Falls tour was amazing. There were around four main stops, but plenty of time to enjoy each one - the pace felt really comfortable. Russell Falls was stunning, with its moss-covered forest creating a natural calm atmosphere. It was also great to see the Tasmanian devils and echidnas at Bonorong. The slow-cooked lamb with veggies at Richmond Arms was a real treat, and Mount Wellington itself was the perfect finale - the view over the city and the rocky landscape was breathtaking. Despite a bit of light snow, we were lucky with the weather and even saw a rainbow. Warm clothes we brought “just in case” turned out to be very handy at the top. A special mention to our guide, Brett - a true scholar and gentleman who created a very comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. After this experience, I’d definitely love to join a similar tour again.

This tour was an absolute highlight of my trip to Tasmania. Brett’s deep knowledge and genuine passion for the local flora and fauna made the experience truly exceptional — and spotting a platypus in the wild was the perfect bonus!

One of the best days out I've had in Australia. We experienced rainforests, animals, history and a mountain all within 9 hours. I couldn't recommend this tour more

A more convenient meeting place with benches for example Elizabeth street has coffee shops and benches. Waiting outside a motel was not convenient and it was cold. I understand that a client was late so I had to wait. The guide, Brett was knowledgeable and very helpful during the tour. As a science teacher I appreciated all the information especially about the animals at Bonorong animal sanctuary. We did a hike at My Field national park which had some lovely waterfalls and a visit to the animal sanctuary which I really enjoyed . Last last location was Mt Wellington with a wonderful view. But a word to the wise , take warm clothes as the wind chill made it feel like -8C. All in all a very pleasant trip.

Brett was very knowledgeable and passionate about our toured locations. Quick way to see varied parts of Tasmania.

The all-day tour was very varied, from the historic Richmond to national parks and wild-life sanctuaries, culminating in a very windy Mt Wellington. Guide Gary was excellent.
