About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ehdlhou0 contributionsUnforgettable experienceWe had amazing fun filled trip, our tourist guide/chauffeur Damien was absolutely amazing, we learned heaps of information regarding Launceston, Tasmania and Australia as a whole. My wife and I took the Marion Lookout Trail and truely unforgettable experience/memories - it’s worth a hike. We highly recommended the team.Written 23 January 2025
- gillw1440 contributionsGreat day out exploring the stunning national parks.Fantastic day visiting 2 amazing places of natural beauty. Not for the faint hearted if you don’t like steps, as there are 400 of them, but well worth the effort. Lucas was a brilliant guide, very friendly, enthusiastic and full of knowledge about the areas, the wildlife, the plants and trees. The wildlife sanctuary was good too, and we got to see the Tasmanian devils. If I had the time I would do the whole trip again. Thoroughly recommendWritten 22 January 2025
- debbieb4140 contributionsBruny IslandIt was amazing. The walk, the views, which were stunning. Beautiful white sand beach. Our tour guide was lovely. Very knowledgeable. Didn't rush us. Also new experience for myself and my husband trying oysters!! Definitely worth going with a tour guide. Or we got lucky!! Great experience all round.Written 20 January 2025
- H5948NXpamm0 contributionsAmazing walks and views!Nathan was an amazing guide! He made everyone feel welcome and knew so much about Tasmania. The Tahune Airwalk is easy for most people to do. I enjoyed doing the Franklin River walk (50min)but wish I walked faster to fit in the Huon Pine 20minute walk. I heard that was amazing! Hastings cave was breathtakingly beautiful. Totally worth going!Written 19 January 2025
- K5144UFglenm0 contributionsHeather is a great guide with Tours Tasmania.We did three tours with Heather from Tours Tasmania while staying in Hobart. Maria Island, Mount Field/Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and the Freycinet Peninsula. An excellent guide, very well spoken, knowledgeable and courteous. Each day was most enjoyable.Written 16 January 2025
- 394melw0 contributionsSorry I'm English?Bruny Island was amazing, the tour guide not so much. To premise this review, I am English with an Aussie partner. I am the only one of my family living in Australia so I am accustomed to the rivalries between our nations and usually enjoy the banter with my in-laws who can be brutal (whilst remaining funny) at times. The tour guide (Ben) was aware I was English. Unfortunately for much of this trip I felt uncomfortable with the tour guide due to his frequent negative comments about England. The comments were not about the rivalries between our nations and felt personal and sincere. The comments were inaccurate and at times offensive. Within an hour of the trip I had listened to a 10 minute rant about how sh*t my nation was - happy holidays! The comments continued throughout the tour. There was no negative comments made about any other nation or state, adding to the isolation I experienced on this tour. However, do not discredit Tours Tasmania. We had Peter for our Port Arthur trip earlier in the week who was one of the best guides we've had across multiple tours in various countries. Unfortunately a guide can really make or break the trip, and with this company we experienced both.Written 14 January 2025
- sheree w0 contributionsTour guide Ben was just fantastic. He is an asset to the company and really played an important role into making the day as meFantastic guide and scenery was just beautiful along with the informative discussions whilst driving and experiencing the beauty of the caves and whilst on the air walk. Made sure everyone was safe and felt included.Written 9 January 2025
- I9203LWdavidc0 contributionsVery nice tour and unzooThe highlight was the unzoo. Seeing T. Devils in person was amazing. The unzoo and explanations were a real highlight. The tour driver, Ian, provided more insights into Tasmania, the devils and local information. He explained goals of the island and much more. Great tour.Written 9 January 2025
- Pet A0 contributionsA Great Tour ExperienceHere’s a polished review based on your experience: **Exceptional Tour Experience with Nathan** I had the pleasure of joining a tour guided by Nathan at the Tahune Airwalk and Hastings Caves, and it was nothing short of amazing! Nathan was incredibly nice, accommodating, and made a genuine effort to remember everyone’s names, which added such a personal touch. The Tahune Airwalk was breathtaking, the swinging bridge was thrilling, and the Hastings Caves were absolutely magnificent. To top it all off, I enjoyed the best-tasting apple crumble of my life—it was a real treat! This experience made my birthday truly memorable, and I can’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you!Written 8 January 2025
- 635darrylr0 contributionsWell worth the trip.What a great thing to do in southern Tassie. It’s a drive, but a beautiful one. The road is sealed all the way and it’s in good condition. The staff were friendly and the air walk was amazing. We also did the eagle hang life/zip line. Well worth it. The long loop traversed 2 swing bridges and was an easy 1 hour walk.Written 6 January 2025
- AHY1270 contributionsGreat experienceGreat tour. The Mt Field hike is about 3 hours long and has a lot of stairs in two locations. You can leave after the first couple of falls and go back to the visitor center, but at that point, we were 1/3 way through the loop and majority of the group wanted to continue. Tour guide went on full loop with us so whole group went. Great seeing it all but was too much walking for a couple of people in our group. The tour guide was fabulous and pointed out many interesting things on our hike. Fun time at the wildlife center and beautiful views from Mt. Wellington.Written 6 January 2025
- Amanda C0 contributionsFresh air and sunshineFresh air, we expected, sunshine we weren’t prepared for! It is Tasmania after all! Our very friendly and knowledgeable guide Luka met us at the meeting place to begin our Bruny Island Walking and Tasting Tour. Luca was knowledgeable along the track to explain the flora and fauna aspects which was great and the pace moved at a speed relevant to the group. The inclusions of the Natural Bridge, Two Tree Point, Coal Mining in Adventure Bay were well balanced with a visit to Bruny Island honey, Get Shucked Oysters and the Bruny Island Beer and Cheese Factory, oh and of course Bruny Island Chocolates to stack up on freckles for the grandkids, made for a well balanced tour. There were good choices for lunch options! As it’s one of the busier times of year Get Shucked and the Bruny Island Beer and Cheese Factory couldn’t tantalise our taste buds as it was too busy for the time allocation but it didn’t detract from the experience as there was plenty to see at both venues to get a feel for what processes on there. We highly recommend this tour to others. Thank you for a great day Luca.Written 5 January 2025
- liblazilla0 contributionsWombat Dreams Come TrueOur Maria Island tour with Carl was epic! He was super friendly, knew so much about the area, and had us all laughing the whole day. But the absolute highlight? Carl went all out to help me see a wombat, which has been a dream of mine forever. They were nowhere to be found at first, but Carl didn’t give up. He took us to all the usual spots and kept searching, and right at the end of the day—boom! We found a mum and her little bub. I honestly couldn’t believe it. Best. Day. Ever. Huge shoutout to Carl for being such a legend and making this such an unforgettable experience. If you’re thinking about a trip, do it – and hope you get Carl as your guide!Written 1 January 2025
- michaeliD2795KT0 contributionsViews galoreThe tahune tree top walk was amazing and views just stunning The smaller tour bus suited us perfectly with smaller groups of people and we met such lovely people on the tour Our tour guide heather was awesome and very informative she did an amazing job My wife struggled with vertigo and didn’t do the air walk but heather was very understanding and helpful I’d definitely recommend doing this tour The caves portion was equally as stunning but very busy but they handled it well and never felt cramped or rushed at all Overall a fantastic tour to see some of the beauty of TasmaniaWritten 31 December 2024

I did this tour as part of the 'Big Three' three-day tour from Hobart to Launceston. The weather on the day of the tour was not ideal, lightly raining nearly the entire day, but I still had a lot of fun. The day started early picking everyone up from their hotels before making a quick stop shortly outside of Hobart for anyone needing to purchase lunch to take with them for the day. We made one additional stop along a beach before getting to the Freycinet National Park. From there, we had three options of walks, a short walk to a cafe/lunch spot, a walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout (a 45-minute uphill walk), or the option to extend your walk to the actual sands of Wineglass Bay (approximately 2.5 hours). Normally, I would have chosen the longer walk, but given the weather was rainy, and the guide advised there were a couple of sections of the walk to be careful on, our group of four opted for the walk to the lookout. Two of the members of the group stopped halfway to the lookout before turning to head towards the van as it was an uphill climb and a bit too much for them. After taking in the views overlooking Wineglass Bay, we headed to Honeymoon Bay and did the Cape Tourville Lighthouse Walk. The description says you stop at the Freycinet Marine Farm for oysters, but we did not, so maybe that is a seasonal thing. We made one last stop for coffee/snacks/ice cream before arriving in Launceston. Overall, the day was long and tiring, but fun, and I learned a lot from the guides.

I can honestly say that this trip was fantastic. Our drivers,Trevor and Graeme, were exceptional. They were fun and were able to answer all our (my?!!) questions.
Without Trevor’s help, I would not have completed the walk to Wineglass Bay lookout without possibly holding the group back. It was harder than I thought and with age and resulting lower fitness not on my side, it was a struggle. Without a rail I felt unsteady and I don’t normally have trouble with tour outings. Trevor was simply incredible. He stayed with me all the way to make sure I made it. His knowledge was awesome in everything Tasmanian (and lots of topics not) and he made it the most wonderful day. If older, please be aware it is not an easy walk- harder than I thought.
The bakery staff where we stopped to buy our lunch were wonderful but there was not a lot there for vegan or vegetarian. However, the staff quickly made me a salad sandwich that was most appreciated. If concerned, better to take your own. Plenty of beautiful sight seeing at bathroom stops as well.
I would definitely recommend this trip, especially with these fantastic guides.

Nick was very descriptive of all parts of the trip. Scenery and stops were fantastic. Pickup was prompt. Location of pickup was easily accessible. Bring walking shoes for hikes. Bus speaker system was intermittent. All tour guides should speak a little slower for non-Australians.

My wife and I did this tour yesterday June 7, 2018. The driving and the guided tour from Hobart to Freycinet National Park by David A. was excellent. David knows his craft very well.
Now the bad part: from Freycinet to Launceston was bad. Rod was more of a driver than a tour guide. Rod did not talk anything with sense about the tour attractions. He was just driving and driving.

I am correct in assuming that we're on our own to book a hotel in Launceston and our return trip to Hobart?
