Reviews
small group tour with informative guide, the beach trek was actually quite long and tiring but manageable, might be difficult for elderly or sedentary people though so do train up a little beforehand. some uphill and downhill portions on sandy trails. Lovely sights.
Such nice trip on a very nice day. Our tour guide Peter was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and shares stories about the place and Tasmania in general. Very accommodating and sees to it that everyone is having a great time.
I was happy that I was able to explore the island very efficiently despite its large size.The guide was so friendly and kind even though I don't speak English well.I'm really greatful😊
The view and the hike (~2.5 hrs) were breath-taking. Recommend ppl to wear enough with hiking shoes.
