Great variety of sights - Great day seeing a variety of sights around Hobart - nature, wildlife, cultural history and great views! Since animals at Bonorang are rescues, they are not afraid of humans and it’s easy to get a close up view of them. Both Mt Field and Wellington provide beautiful natural experiences. Great views at Wellington event if it was unseasonably cold with snow!! And a taste of the colonial penal colony history at Richmond. Well worth the day!

Super Host Brett on day out to Mt.Field, Bonorong Sanctuary, Richmond and Mt.Wellington - Had an amazing trip, Brett the driver/guide was fun, laid back and yet communicated such a passion for fauna, sharing all kinds of interesting details of animals and their habits and knew alot about flora in the rainforest. Not only that, however, he had information on the history of Tazmania, agriculture, local community interests and much more. He encouraged us to experience other places/things while in Hobart/Tazmania. I tried scallop pie in Richmond after he said it was a specialty, delicious, and we walked the rivulet Hobart Linear Park looking for platapus as well - did not see any but plan to go back again and try. Had a wonderful time, would highly recommend this tour!

Absolutely fantastic way to spend a day tour from Hobart - From pick up to drop off - everything was fabulous. Our guide Simon and driver Brett were both super friendly, informative and entertaining - we could listen to them all day. Lots of interesting pieces of information about Tasmanian history, fauna, flora, culture, agriculture and local hints and tips. Everything we saw was a joy to behold. But the highlight for me was the absolutely fantastic view of Hobart and beyond from Mt Wellington. Thanks again for a wonderful day. Highly recommend if you are visiting Hobart.

Many interesting points of interest - The tour to Russel falls, Mt. Fields, Bonorong and Mt. Wellington was enjoyable. The nature walk to the falls was very nice. The visit to Bonorong wildlife sanctuary showcased some of the local wildlife. It was a bit disappointing to see the Kangaroos lazing in the sun as we were not able to experience feeding them…. But that can vary from day and time of visit. It was very windy on My. Wellington, making it a bit uncomfortable for being out for long as well as taking pictures. The visit to Richmond was relaxing, however too much time allocated for this place. They could have added another place to visit to Make the tour more wholesome and interesting. Overall good day and enjoyed the experience.

Windy - I found the trip fairly enjoyable my only problem is I found it hard because I have a knee problem which made the mini hard to find a position. However this did not hinder the magic of seeing falls they were incredible. I found the bus driver helpful in all parts of the trip and we never missed out on any part of the tour. My only advice would be don’t go to Mt. Wellington if it is a really windy day one could hardly stand up.

Good experience, a very relaxing trip - The Mt Wellington peak was fantastic, it dropped to 2 c when we went there and we saw snow. Brat is a good tour leader. The Bonorong sanctuary was okay, not too many animals we could see only some hiding birds, tasmanian devils and wombats. Yes we saw many kangaroos though, they were just lied around and chilled.
