Coles Bay Turer

Planned trip for those who cant drive or dun want to drive a long way. Weather was nice in winter which is nice for hiking.

The itinerary was good- Richmond, Cherry farm, Bruny Island and Wineglass Bay. With regards to the combined English and Chinese guides, it would have been better if commentaries in English came first then Chinese. The second guide Jeffery was fluent in English and friendly and had a lot of commentaries. He started in English then followed Chinese language. THe best one of all was Jerome, the 3rd guide. Very fluent in English, funny and talked a lot. He added some places not included in the itinerary. The downside to the tour is the airport pick up of passengers. It consumed a lot of time going to the airport when we could have started with the tour. Airport pickups should not be an option on day 1 of the tour. Pax should arrive a day before. Ibis Hotel accommodation was very nice. Good choice. Transport vehicle was small. The Aurora Australis one night is a good option in case index is high. Like this option although we were not lucky on our 3 night stay.

Det var en veldig hyggelig og omfattende tur rundt øya. Vi hadde et godt utvalg av aktiviteter og landskap å utforske: fjell, strender, regnskoger, sanddyner. Været var også fantastisk, noe som gjorde opplevelsen enda bedre. Guiden vår Jason var en veldig god sjåfør og guide gjennom hele turen, og sørget for at vi alltid var i rute og trygge. Høydepunktene var definitivt Cradle Mountain og Bays of Fire.

This was a fun day tour, and I definitely have to give 10 likes to our tour guide, Tammy! She was witty and energetic, bringing us so much joy and a deep understanding of the area. The view of Wineglass Bay was incredibly special and beautiful. This tour does require a bit of hiking, but it's absolutely worth it.

Denne turen var utmerket, bortsett fra at det var en tre timers kjøretur fra sentrum av Hobart. For å se den fantastiske naturen i Wineglass Bay og Honeymoon Bay, må du gå opp et fjell, noe som tar omtrent en time tur-retur. Selv om det ikke er fryktelig vanskelig, kan det være utfordrende for de over 70. Fra toppen nøt vi en panoramautsikt over Wineglass Bay og Honeymoon Bay. Etterpå hvilte vi ved Honeymoon Bay og nøt en matpakke. (Guiden ga oss tid til å stoppe ved en liten butikk tidlig på dagen for å kjøpe lunsjsmørbrød.) Det var en kort, men fredelig tid, der vi så lokalbefolkningen bade og svømme. På den siste vingården fikk vi omtrent 30 minutter, så partneren min og jeg tok en smaksprøve, noe som var et godt valg. Vi var så heldige å se en wallaby under turen, noe som var hyggelig. Som en som ikke snakker engelsk, forsto jeg ikke mye av historien, men jeg var fornøyd med bare å kunne besøke hvert sted. Jeg roser også guiden for hans omfattende forklaring av Tasmania.

very informative. helpful, attentive. the trip was much more enjoyable with the guide. value for money:
