Additional Information

A ten-day journey in Tasmania allows us to delve deeper into the untouched terrains of Tasmania. We see renowned national parks such as Cradle Mountain and Freycinet, but we also venture into stunning natural landscapes like the Tarkine situated in North West Tasmania that are less traversed.

This expedition strikes a perfect equilibrium between touring the region and engaging in simple to moderately challenging hikes. This journey is exclusively motel-based, inclusive of numerous meals and thrilling activities like the Gordon River Cruise and a trip to Port Arthur Historic Site.

A trip to the Bonorong wildlife sanctuary to witness Tasmanian devils and various other wildlife is another highlight of this expedition.

If I could go back right now and do the tour again I would not hesitate! - Absolutely amazing tour and experience! Picked up at the start of the tour and immediately made feel very welcome by our exceptional tour guide Tim. We visited so many incredibly beautiful and culturally significant locations and at all locations Tim was able to provide any detail you could have asked for. Walks were clearly explained and alternatives were always provided for those who didn't want to climb stairs or for those who wanted a more adventurous walk - do the walk even if you end up a little red-faced, the sense of achievement and the spectacular scenery are worth it! Tim's narrative in the bus on the drives between locations was well informed and helped me to fall more and more in love with Tasmania. While the tour is essentially non-stop, there was also opportunity to stop and just to relax and enjoy the view. The motel/hotel accommodation was always clean and the added bonus of an electric blanket after a cooler day was always appreciated. Included meals were fresh with a number of options available and multiple courses on offer on an evening. On the days where we fended for our selves we were given plenty of opportunity to stop and pick up supplies, including at the southern most vineyard in Australia and plenty of ice cream stops. The whole experience was exceptional and made even better by Tim. The tour group of likeminded travellers who wanted to see the raw beauty and history of the beautiful island added to the experience. If I could go back right now and do the tour again I would not hesitate in doing it all again and following the other path to discover more beauty.

Ultimate 10 - Under Down Under - Looking for something to do in your spare time ? As a seasoned traveller from Perth, I decided that it was time to visit Tasmania, it was never on my top 10 places to visit. So I booked the Ultimate 10 Tour on a whim. Was I wrong, Tasmania is just unbelievably amazing, with its breathtaking natural landscapes, the sheer beauty of the National Parks, wildlife I have never seen before in their natural habitats such as the Tasmanian Pademelon, Bare-Nosed Wombat, Wallabies just to name a few. Tasmania is also steeped with history with its Port Arthur Historic site and saving the Franklin River. I will let your Tour Guide fill in the missing gaps ! The tour itself is well balanced with a mixture of outdoor nature loving activities as well as visiting the town of Richmond for some retail therapy ! The aspect that appealed to me most about this tour was that it was the only tour that pretty much covered most of Tasmania in 10 days. A tour is not a tour without a tour guide/driver, right? About Justin our tour guide/driver. Well, he was also amazing - always on time, patient, just the right amount of talking while driving, gave relevant information about how the following day would look like and facts about each location, he was thoughtful and would go out of his way to ensure everyone was happy. He was the glue that made our group / tour a memorable one ! Thanks Justin, you're a star.

Stunning Tassie Tour - It was time to explore Tasmania, so I compared various options to see the land down under, including self-drive choices and using my own vehicle. For the sheer simplicity, and cost effectiveness, I chose a small group 10-day tour, offered by Under Down Under Tours. The itinerary was extensive and appeared to cover all the best highlights you could possibly see in 10 days. Mother nature was the clear star on this tour; providing stunning walks through ancient rain forests, and many promontories which showcased the rugged Tasmania coastline. To describe all the magnificent experiences provided would fill pages; for me, the cruise through Macquarie Harbour and the Gordon River, the panoramic view from Wineglass Bay look-out, Cradle Mountain and the walk around Dove Lake, in the shadow of the mountain, deserve special mention. And, a special mention of our driver and tour guide Justin. Justin worked tirelessly to ensure that all participants on the tour enjoyed what was on offer. His commentary covering the history of the regions we were traversing and the special little anecdotes he provided made the trip just that much more interesting and educational. His enthusiastic participation certainly enhanced the enjoyment of the tour. A great tour of Tasmania with a driver/guide who cared, you could not ask for much more.

Amazing !! - Justin our tour guide was a blast !...went above and beyond to ensure our trip was amazing. 10 guests in a 21 seater bus was an added bonus. We were busy each and every day...so much so that we longed for a day of rest !...Justin's knowledge of each and every stop/site was outstanding. Can't recommend this tour highly enough

Superb tour of the best of Tasmania - I have never been on a long tour before but at 74, I decided with my wife that this would be the best way to see Tasmania and I would not have to do any driving or organise anything. With a small group of 21 in the bus and a comprehensive itinerary what could go wrong. As it turned out nothing other than picking up a common cold on the plane and a puncture in front right tyre of the bus, which turned out to be part of the adventure anyway. Our tour guide and driver Keygan would be the most knowledgable and interesting person I have ever met in this role. A native Tasmanian he has an intimate knowledge of the flora and fauna, history, not just since European settlement but of the Palawa people going back thousands of years as well as contemporary modern Tasmanian issues and lifestyle. His knowledge also of the geographic and geological features of the landscape is awesome. Anecdotes of every location flowed easily as we rounded yet another corner with a fascinating commentary interspersed with comedic notes and stories ranging from indigenous culture to bush ranger antics. Overall it was awesome. Thanks for the experience.

Excellent Tasmania tour with UnderDownUnder - We recently completed a 10 day tour of Tasmania with Underdownunder tours. The tour was great, giving us a good overview of the incredible scenic beauty of the island. The company was easy to work with and everything went smoothly and as advertised. What made it really special was our guide/driver, Keygan. He is enthusiastic and has a master teacher’s ability to impart so much interesting information in a lively and entertaining way. A great sense of humor as well. The accommodations ranged from rustic to very nice. Some of the towns we stayed in were quite small and I believe there was little choice in where to stay. All were comfortable enough. The included dinners were generally good to excellent. Breakfasts tended to be limited. All in all I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for an extensive driving trip around the island.

Great tour in a beautiful state of Australia. - This 10 day tour of Tassie with Under Down Under was exceptional. Our guide, Keygan, was very knowledgeable and passionate about all things Tasmanian. The scenery was spectacular, the weather mostly fine and the accommodation and meals were good.

10 Day Guided Tour of Tasmania - The most epic 10 days. So well organised, our tour guide Keygan was simply amazing, knowledgeable, helpful in every aspect. Took care of Mum exceptionally well (She's 85) and although was unable to complete all the longer walks or those with too many stairs, there were many other options for us to take advantage of. Such a wonderful company and everything was magic. Great accommodations, food. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks so much Under Down Under, you made this trip even more special.
