Make your way through to the iconic Russell Falls and Horseshoe Falls where cascading waterfalls await, stroll through the rainforests, and admire the towering eucalypt trees. You may also spot native wildlife such as wallabies, echidnas, the unique platypus and various rare bird species that inhabit this environment.

Stunning scenery - Had a great time visiting Mount Field national park on this tour. Plenty to do and see. Highlight of the trip was definitely the forest walk to Russell falls. Stunning scenery which was topped of with the sightings of the local wildlife. Mark our guide was truly hilarious and gave us many laughs throughout the day whilst also being very informative. The tour finishes with a visit to the MONA art gallery which is one of the must do things to do whilst in Hobart. All in all of you want a fun day trip to see some of Tasmanian I highly recommend going on this tour

Brilliant experience 10/10 - Such an awesome tour we loved it from start to finish! Mark was a brilliant guide he had us laughing all day and was very knowledgeable about all matters Tassie and Hobart related. The actual tour itself was fantastic too we thoroughly enjoyed the walk and Mount Field and MONA. This is a no brainer if you have a spare day whilst visiting Hobart or even if you’re a local. Great price too.

Amazing day tour to Russell Falls and Mona - This was a really great day out and a well organised tour. Mt Field and Russell Falls were really beautiful, the walk through the giant old trees was breathtaking. The combination of stopping at Mona and catching the ferry back into the city was so great, nice to see the crazy art, have a drink and jump on the ferry back to the waterfront - how perfect is that?! Peter, our guide for the day, was engaging, funny and shared so much information, not just about where we were but other areas in the state. Totally recommend this tour (and company). 5 stars, would definitely book again on a return Tasmanian trip.

Worth it - We really enjoyed this trip! It’s good that you have different options for the hiking. We did the longest one and enjoyed it a lot! With the stop on the tour back (salmon ponds), we ate good food and even saw a platypus :)
