Rather than take a ship's cruise tour, we opted for a prearranged private tour right from the ship's dock in Hobart with this small private tour company. We were not disappointed as we selected their Top4 package and visited Bonorong Sanctuary, Louisa's Walk, Mt. Wellington and Richmond Village. Our guide Hani made everyone feel very at ease and contributed to... More

Sam McLennan and his Great Expeditions will provide you with all the local and area sites without the muss and fuss of a big bus and long winded historical rhetoric. He took us for an entire day..we saw everything from the local flor and fauna, to Port Arthur, Remakable Cave, all the bays, and more. His personality and educated background... More

This tour was a bespoke, 3 day tour for My Girlfriend and I, with the aim being to surf at stunning spots on empty waves. From the initial reservation, Sam kept us well informed with possible plans, obviously being largely dictated by the location of the best surf conditions as well as ensuring to cater for the spread of experience...

If you want a personalized tour, great expeditions is what you want. I went on a 3 day surftrip and got to see the beauties of tasmania in and out of the water. I had one of the best surfsessions in my whole 3 month surftrip through Australia, surfing uncrowded surfbreaks with only me and Sam, owner of great expeditions.... More

We had an amazing afternoon comfortably cruising the beautiful Tasmanian countryside with the most enthusiastic tour guide Samuel. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour and activities organised for us. We highly recommend booking tours with Great Expeditions. More

If you are looking for a wine tour that captures the essence of the Coal Valley district, then Samuel is your man. We have toured many of the world's wine regions, but I can honestly say that we've never had a better experience than the day we spent with Samuel !! More

Huge thanks to both Samuel & Hania who made our recent trip to Hobart very enjoyable, & saved a lot of stress. My husband & I went on 3 of the tours - if we'd had more time we probably would have gone on more if we could. The top 4 tour is just that - it really showcases the... More

In Tasmania we took two tours, both with Samuel and his Great Expectations tours. The first day was the Top4 Tour that included the Bonorong Sanctuary, Louisa's Walk, Mt. Wellington and Richmond Village. You will note how high all those rate on the "things to do list". The second day was the wine tour. Besides some fantastic local wineries and... More

Sammuel was brilliant. We have done a number of organised wine tours through other parts of Australia, France and Italy but Sammuel has been the best operator by far. It was an intimate experience, he knew the wines and the staff (including all the great pieces on display at the Museum of Old & New Art at Morilla) and knew... More
