All about this tour seems carefully planned for a small group to enjoy the magnificent views along the way, the Mt Field flora and fauna, the care for our wildlife at Bonorong Park and the views from Mt Wellington. Our guide Nick is the best. He taught us so much about the history of the peoples who lived and worked in these areas and their legacies. Mt Wellington was also a highlight to add up to an amazing experience. Many thanks Nick!

Great compact day

Rosie_J, May 2023

Walks to the falls. It seemed a bit rushed going to the wildlife sanctuary, and especially Mt Wellington. Nick was good. I can’t I imagine how it would have been trying to keep a whole bus load together. There were only three of us and it went quickly. Glad I booked it.

It's a great day,...

Orapat_T, Apr 2023

It's a great day, spending time in natural environment. Nick, the guide was very kind. However, the estimate time stated in website is 11 hours, but in that day it's about 9 hrs. I expected to have a little bit more time for each stop, I think it's a little bit too rush.

Best day ever!!!

Valerie_L, Apr 2023

This was the best day ever! Been and Ian were incredible guides. We learned so much, we're active, and laughed together all day!

A great day excursion. This is a must do when visiting Sydney. The Blue Mountains won’t disappoint. Short drive from the city. In order to see the beautiful blue hue try to time it with a beautiful slightly overcast day like I did. Glass bottom skyway was an added plus. The steepest railway is truly impressive. We had a very knowledgeable driver who was very friendly

A great day out

WilliamNoel_H, Aug 2022

Belinda_K, Jan 2022

Wonderful!

Maleea_H, Jan 2022

Nick the tour guid was so lovely and educational, he really made the trip a great experience and was very kind

Disappointed but happy they offered another day

Jaqueline_D, July 2021

This trip was cancelled due to cancellations to the covid lockdown in nsw and Victoria, it looks like a fab trip and will hopefully get to do it next time, I was offered this trip for another day but was already booked on different day trips

Wonderful tour with a great guide

Ashley_P, July 2021

This was a great day out visiting some must-see sites. Our tour guide, Jeremy, was very knowledgeable and has so much passion for the history and flora of Mt Field. All his knowledge made the visit to Mt Field 10x better than it would have been if we chose to visit by ourselves. The visit to Bonorong was educational, and we were fortunate to have a beautiful and clear day at the top of Mt Wellington, for a view that shouldn't be missed. Highly recommend this tour.

Great day in 3 wonderful places of Tassie for nature lovers.

SandraAzocar, Feb 2021

It was a great day. We started with Mount Field National Park, where we did some walks, saw the giant trees and some pademelons. A part of the track was closed due to fallen trees, so our guide took us to the raspberry farm (which I love!) to sort of compensate the shorter walk in the park. We then headed to the Bonorong Sanctuary where we got to see the devils, echidnas, some koalas, tawny frogmouths, amongst other animals and feed the kangaroos. After that we went to the summit of Kunanyi where we stayed for around 40 minutes because the weather was so nice, so we made the most of it. Our tour guide Nick was very nice, knew a lot about the places we visited and made the day a very enjoyable one.

Mt.Field day trip

dianne_h, Feb 2021

An amazing tour with Nick. A young man who is so passionate about nature and conservation. Loved the walk at Mt Field and then onto Bonorong Wildlife Park. My first viewing of a Tasmanian Devil..a thrill. Mt Wellington was clear and sunny and we had wonderful views. Nice group. Thanks Nick

Great stops and a wealth of information. The children loved the sanctuary!

Rutas, Jan 2021

The guide was very knowledgeable and shared wonderful information everywhere we went. The stops were great with enough time and quick access to everything.

Stunning Tasmanian scenery; so worth partaking in this extraordinary day trip

Jeanne_T, Jan 2021

The whole trip was memorable from the guided walk in the unique National Park with the tall trees and gorgeous waterfalls. Seeing the amazing help the wildlife are receiving at Bonorong and being part of contributing to their existence. Mt Wellington was stunning and cold but shouldn’t be missed. Beautiful views overlooking Hobart; it’s breathtaking. Our tour operator Dave was honestly a walking encyclopaedia; so knowledgeable and kind and considerate whilst travelling throughout the day. What an amazing day we had!

Great way to fill a day

Jessica_C, Dec 2020

My favourite part was walking through Mt field national park. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Our tour guide Nick was fantastic! He made us feel really welcomed and was so knowledgeable. He was more than happy to answer the million questions I had. I highly recommend this tour

Great tour and guide!!

Perfect way to see and experience some of the most beautiful parts of Tassie. Our guide Andrew was so passionate and great with everyone in our group.

Delightful trip

paul_shalom, Dec 2019

It was definitely one of the top trips for me and my family. Our tour guide, Nick, is very knowledgeable and shared many things on numerous topics, from incidents, animals, trees to history etc. Thanks for a trip well planned

great nature tour and tour guide Ash

John k, Nov 2019

our tour guide Ash went out of his way to make our tour memorable. Make sure you ask for Ash! The tour was very efficient and Ash provided excellent insights into Hobart and all of the history of the parks and towns

Wonderful day

lisafeinsiegel, Oct 2019

This is an active tour. You see a lot, you do a lot, but it isn’t rushed. Nick our guide was really informative, friendly, competent. Gorgeous waterfalls and scenery on the hikes, followed by a really interesting wildlife sanctuary, and topped off by a spectacular view from atop Mt. Wellington. Highly recommend this tour.
