Thank you to guide Hannah for leading the tour. We were lucky to be in a small group of 4, and the itinerary was rich and fulfilling! The guide thoughtfully explained the knowledge of the forest and trees along the way, and there was constant interaction. The forest scenery was beautiful, and the experience was very pleasant. We even encountered wild pademelons! Because we finished the three waterfall trails, including Lady Barron Fall, early, Hannah even took us to a farm to buy berries. Although Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is not very large, animal lovers may find 1 hour a little unsatisfying. We saw echidnas, a 1-year-old Wombat Popcorn, sleeping Tasmanian Devils, and even a large group of kangaroos to feed. Overall, it was a very good experience!

The tour was excellent value for money. The guide drove smoothly, shared great insights, and recommended wonderful spots and restaurants. The route was well planned. We enjoyed a beautiful walk through Mt Field’s ancient rainforest and its stunning waterfall, though the time felt a bit short. Lunch at the charming town of Richmond was lovely — the lavender ice cream was a highlight. Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary had more time than needed, but Mt Wellington made up for it. We reached the snowy summit and captured amazing photos; on a clear day the views would be breathtaking. Overall, a highly worthwhile and well-organized tour.
