Reviews
I had such a great time! Well paced, great scenery, a good workout for all ages and best of all a really friendly, knowledgeable and sincere guide who also skilfully drove us around. Loved all his stories and jokes. Never had such a pleasant tour, nothing to complain about. Pack warm clothes!
Our guide Brett was friendly, reassuring, and knowledgeable, teaching us to spot Tasman wildlife and driving us to each itinerary spot with ample time to explore. However, the day before, I was texted by the coordinator to walk to the travel information center because I'm the only one who opted for hotel pickup. On the day, the van detoured to pick up others at various hotels, including my preselected one. Just curious why would the coordinator made me do unnecessary walk im a cold winter morning! 🥹
What a beautiful day out! This tour was such a great way to experience a mix of nature, wildlife, and charming local spots. Walking through Mount Field to see Russell Falls felt like stepping into a postcard. Bonorong was a personal favourite—I loved feeding the kangaroos and getting up close with the Tasmanian devils. Richmond was so quaint and full of character, and the drive up Mount Wellington (despite the weather being a bit moody!) gave us some stunning views. A big thank you to our tour guide, who really made the experience special. So friendly, full of knowledge, and patient with all our questions. You could tell they genuinely loved sharing Tasmania with us. Highly recommend this tour if you want a day full of variety, beauty, and good company! regards: Grace
our guide Brett from iWander Tasmania was very knowledgable. He had worked in Sydney zoo before and had lots of information regarding animals found in the continent. We went to Bonorong wild life sanctuary, Mt field and Mt wellington
We absolutely loved this tour! It provided the perfect balance of excitement and relaxation, all within the span of a single day. Our tour guide was both adorable and highly knowledgeable, enhancing our experience immensely.
This tour offers a lot of content, visiting four attractions in one day. While the time spent at each attraction isn't extensive, it's sufficient. That's how it goes when you visit multiple spots in a single day; it eliminates the hassle of inconvenient transportation and the need to plan your own itinerary. Plus, the price is reasonable, making it highly recommended for those with limited time! I particularly enjoyed visiting a part of the national forest; it truly felt like being deep in the woods. Feeding kangaroos at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary was also a lot of fun. Richmond Historic Town and Mount Wellington offer a simple experience and a great photo opportunity.
Great day tour! Loved how varied the itinerary was, it had activities and scenery to offer a wide range of interests. Nothing felt rushed yet it was a fulfilling, jam packed day.
I am very satisfied with this trip. The scenery along the way to Mount Field was especially beautiful and impressive. Our 74-year-old guide that day was enthusiastic, safe, and focused while driving. His dedication deeply inspired and motivated me. In addition, Mount Wellington near the city exceeded expectations. From the summit, we had panoramic views of the city and the coastline, and the mountain also boasts unique plants. The full-day itinerary was substantial and fulfilling, and we enjoyed delicious food in the town of Richmond for lunch. Overall, this was a perfect trip.
Scott was an excellent guide, thorough and friendly. He is a safe driver that is also super helpful. The tour was designed in a way that is suitable for all age and fitness. Love it all.
The itinerary was well arranged, but it was a bit cold that day. We went to Mt Field first in the morning and it was only about 7 degrees. If we went to Mt Wellington first, it might only be 0 degrees. After finishing the Mt field, we went to see animals. It was just in time to join one of the guided tours and saw many interesting animals. After that, we had lunch and sightseeing in Richmond. Finally, we went to Mt Wellington where it was already warm and we saw the panoramic view of Hobart. It was a complete day.
Good to know
