What To Expect
Mount Field National Park
Mt. Field offers a variety of walks in one of Tasmania’s oldest National Parks. Most famous for Russell Falls & the Tall Trees track we explore the various walks in this diverse Park which is a short 1.5 hour drive from Hobart
Russell Falls
Russell Falls is easily Tasmania’s most recognisable waterfall with its 3-tiered drop. It is an easy and enjoyable walk along a beautiful forest track among mixed forest and temperate rainforest species. This is Tassie’s most photographed waterfall, and we soak up the awesome view before continuing our walk. Just beyond Russell Falls we climb the stairs to Horseshoe Falls, a majestic waterfall snuggled in the forest, which some regard as even more impressive than Russell Falls!

5.00Beautiful scenery and a great guide - Hannah - who made the day fun. The walking is pretty easy, but plenty of steps if you choose the longer options. It’s great that they offer alternatives for different levels. The trip to the top of Mount Wellington was impressive. At this time of year (January), the beauty of the alpine plants beats the views - fantastic.
Great walk/hike and amazing tour overall

5.00This is a must do tour and they cover key places. Our tour guide was Hanna who is very well travelled, great driver and an expert at guiding the group well. The walk/hike at Mount Field is must do. There was wooden manmade stairs which makes the stairs part easier. Do need some active level to get this going. Bonorong wildlife sanctuary is a MUST visit too. We got only 30 mins at Mount Wellington and reached back Hobart by 5pm. Wish we could get 1 hour at Mt Wellington and reach back Hobart by 5.30pm.
Clinton — the best tour guide ever!!

5.00Firstly, our tour guide — Clinton — was an absolute gem! So personable, so knowledgeable… his energy, stories and insights made the tour absolutely terrific. Secondly, the combination of activities made for a perfect day out. Waterfalls in the rain forest, tall trees, ice cream and fresh berries, the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary (also a fantastic learning experience) and finally driving to the top of Mt. Wellington for an amazing 360 degree view. What a great day!! Highly recommend this tour.

5.00It was very nice 🤩 the bush was just beautiful and it was a nice hiking trail where you had seen different waterfalls. Our tour guide Ben explained and explained a lot , which was very interesting. On the way to the Bush, we had also seen many Destinia. Always a recommendation

5.00Can't believe so much can be packed into one day while not feeling rushed. You get to see so many amazing sights on this tour. Hiking, kangaroo feedings, and amazing views. So happy this was my first experience in Tasmania. Truly a special and perfect day to start my trip.

5.00A great and varied day. We especially enjoyed the wonderful walks through beautiful Mt Field National Park. Our guide, Ben, was very knowledgeable about geology, plants, trees, and animals and added a lot to our experience. He was also friendly, professional, and organized.
We love Tassie!

5.00Our guide Lucas was super informed and professional. We made all the stops we needed to on time, and he accommodated the entire group very well. The hike was amazing, the wildlife sanctuary was unforgettable (kangaroos eating out of your hands!) and the overlook of the city and mountains was impressive. 10/10 recommend to get out of Hobart and see beautiful Tassie!
