We had an unforgettable experience on our Mt Field, Wildlife, and Mt Wellington tour with our amazing guide, Clint! He was very punctual, friendly, and accommodating throughout the day. Along the drive, Clint shared lots of interesting stories and fun facts about Tasmania’s history, wildlife, and nature. We also visited Bonorong Sanctuary and got to meet the rescued wildlife—such a heartwarming experience! During our trek through Mt Field, Clint made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the beautiful scenery. When we reached Mt Wellington, the wind was super strong—we almost got blown away! But Clint handled everything so well and made sure we were safe and still had fun. You can really tell he loves what he does. Highly recommend this tour and Clint as your guide!

One of the best decision that I made during my stay in Tasmania. I was thinking of renting a car but doubt it as I do solo travel. Turns out with this three days tour I can take a rest and enjoying the view from the mini bus without having to worry about direction, restrictions or checking maps. all of the guides were so nice and knowledgeable. I enjoyed my trip to max level!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ PS: all of the pictures I submitted here were taken from the mini bus!

Saw many animals, such as wombats, Tassie devils, quolls, and rabbits. The staff are dedicated to rescuing the animals. You can feed the kangaroos. The staff said if you want to pet the kangaroos, you can pet their neck or chest, but don't touch their heads. The kangaroos are very cute.

Our guide, Andrew, is incredibly passionate about Hobart! He arrived early to pick us up before the meeting time, and the minibus was very comfortable! The tour started at Mount Wellington, the highest point in Hobart. Unfortunately, it was raining today, and the visibility wasn't great, but it still had its own charm. Afterward, we went to the viewpoint at Wellington Park to get a general understanding of the terrain before heading to the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Bonorong is a very special place! It was my first time getting so close to kangaroos! The wombats were also especially adorable! In the afternoon, we went to the town of Richmond. The ancient town, shrouded in drizzle, also had a unique feel!

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.

Went on a short hike and saw the tallest trees in Australia. Very impressive. The weather at Mt Wellington was great. I wish the tour had allocated a little more time at the summit. That would have been a 11/10 experience.

I highly recommend this place. It's a great experience. You can feed kangaroos and watch the staff feed Tasmanian devils, koalas, and echidnas. The explanations are very detailed. It's a trip well worth taking.

The conservation center isn't very big, but the staff is very caring towards the animals. There are free guided tours, and I learned a lot more about the animals.
