          Best ever tour experience
          I can only reiterate everything Ann W has said about our Ultimate 10 tour. Over the years we have done quite a few tours in various countries and can honestly say this was the best ever. Keegan, our guide and driver, was excellent, just so knowledgeable, his love and passion for Tasmania clearly comes across in his factual stories and witty tales. Thank you Keegan for making our tour experience so enjoyable, interesting and unforgettable. We would definitely recommend the Ultimate 10 to anyone who maybe interested in visiting Tasmania and looking for this type of tour. JnJ UK

          Excellent Ultimate Tasmania
          The Ultimate Tasmania 10 day tour exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Keygan, was exceptional. He has a huge knowledge of everything relating to Tasmania, from geography to history to flora and fauna, and everything in between. Keygan was a great driver and had a wonderful, happy personality. The tour covered a vast and very diverse area of Tasmania. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the meals provided were excellent. Various walks and activities were provided to accommodate the varied capabilities of all passengers. We are two travellers in our mid 60’s and found this tour to be excellent. An added bonus was the wonderful, happy, friendly, fellow travellers who ranged in age from around 25 to mid 70’s. Lots of breathtaking experiences of beautiful Tasmania. Standout places for me were Cradle Mountain, Bay of Fires, Bruny Island, Tasman Peninsula - and basically everywhere we went. Would definitely recommend Under Down Under tours.

          Amazing 10 day tour
          I can 100% recommend this tour. We saw so much of beautiful Tasmania in 10 days with our awesome guide Keygan. Keygan is a wealth of knowledge about Tassie and shared lots of interesting and at times, very funny stories which made the trip informative and fun. Everything about the tour was excellent and fantastic value for money. The accommodation was comfortable and clean and the included group dinners were of a very good standard.

          Ultimate 10 Tour
          This tour was fantastic from start to finish. We had a great group of friendly and fun people doing the tour. Our guide Keygan made this tour exceptional. He was fun, knowledgeable, informative, kind and helpful. He made the whole tour exciting and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had full days of walking and/or sightseeing. It was great learning new things. Everything from flora & fauna to history both past and present. Every part of the trip was a highlight. Our accommodations were comfortable and we couldn't fault the meals. I highly recommend the Ultimate 10 Tour to anyone that wants to see Tasmania. Thank you Keygan for making this tour so wonderful and memorable. Ann Westwood (NSW)

          Excellent taste of Tasmania
          I did the 10 day tour in February 2025, Keygan was our guide/driver and was brilliant, he is informative, engaging, witty, considerate and took the time to just chat with everyone on an individual basis over the tour. The tour is excellent and takes in a lot of Tasmania in the 10 days, giving a good taste of what the state has to offer. I recommend the tour to anyone interested in visiting Tasmania as part of a guided tour. It was wonderful. Keygan is the best guide I have encountered in my 3 decades of doing tours. Wonderful.

          Great experience!
          We just completed the Famous Five tour and it was everything and more than we thought it would be. Our guide Brendan did an excellent job herding the cats to stay on schedule while accommodating us for plenty of stops and extra site seeing activities. It is a great way to see Tasmania and this tour really hits the highlights while being a good value with the places you get to go and experience. The parks were amazing and your choice of a short track or a long trek was ideal for the different days and everyone’s different abilities. I highly recommend this tour group and tour. One word of caution - if you are prone to car sickness bring your medicine, the roads are winding and bouncy.

          Wonderful Tasmania with Under Down Under Tours
          My family and I had a wonderful experience on the Under Down Under Famous Five tour. Brendan, who was our tour guide, made us feel very welcome and was knowledgeable on many aspects of Tasmania. We paid extra for the motel accommodation and it was very much worth the added costs as all the motels were clean and comfortable. We saw some absolutely stunning places in Tasmania, enjoying Stahan especially, which was such a lovely and tranquil place to stay in the first couple of days of the trip. The delights of Wineglass Bay, Cradle Mountain, and the Bay of Fires were particularly breathtaking and it was superb witness these beautiful spots. The mix of ages in the group gave for a great range of travellers and it was lovely to meet people from across the globe who were on the tour. A very much recommended tour for anyone wanting to experience Tasmania.

          Best tour EVER!
          I had the pleasure of attending the 5-day Under Down Under tour of Tasmania with Tim as my guide. It was an absolutely incredible experience filled with lots of learning and breathtaking experiences and landscapes. In large part due to the tour and our awesome guide Tim, I can confidently say that Tasmania is now one of my favorite places on earth! I learned so much during the tour and had such a great time with my group. Tim was an amazing guide and shared so much awesome information about the places we visited, Tasmania overall, and even Australia in general. Every day is jam packed with awesome experiences – from hikes, to beaches, to wildlife, to food, and more. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone– it is a MUST DO if you’re going to Tassie!

          Outstanding Tassie and outstanding tour!
          This tour of Tasmania was exceptional. The itinerary covered all the major places to see and many others as well. There was a reasonable level of activity, and always options to go more quietly if that's what we wanted. The number on the trip (18) wasn't too unwieldy. The accommodation was mid-level and comfortable. Our guide, Tim, was next level excellent. His breadth of knowledge was amazing and he as a fabulous story teller. He was patient, clear in his instructions, and always accommodating. I chose Under Down Under because my nephew recommended it and I now pass on the highest recommendation. It's a great way to see Tasmania.

          The best tour of Tasmania
          This is the perfect tour for anyone who wants to see almost all of Tasmania, with a good amount of physical activity, beautiful scenery, very reasonable cost, comfortable lodging and a very knowledgeable and fun tour . Our guide Tim was well versed in all the flora and fauna, made getting in and out of meals and lodging quick and easy, was very considerate of restroom breaks, and had great stories to tell. Lodging was clean and comfortable and meals were good. Breakfasts were continental but there were almost always cafes and bakeries along the way to supplement if needed. We were the only American couple on the tour and it was great traveling with the Aussies and Kiwis.

          Awesome Tour
          I did the 10 day tour and I couldn't fault it. Our tour guide was fantastic and we saw so much of Tassie. Quality of meals provided was good/substantial and accommodation clean and comfortable. Depending on your fitness level, you could do as little or as much as you wanted. I definitely felt I got value for money and would recommend these guys to anyone wanting a great Tasmanian experience. Well organized and run.

          Fantastic
          This tour was fantastic from the get go. The tour hits alot of amazing places with activities for every age and fitness level. The driving was spaced out so nothing felt far away and the bus was comfortable. Accommodation was comfortable with adequate facilities. I was lucky to have an amazing group of people and guide evan who took the tour to the next level. Evan had alot of knowledge, friendly and went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of everywhere we went and everyone was included. I would highly recommend this tour.

        We just completed our Explorer 6 Tasmania Tour and our tour leader was Hadyn Chilcott. We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our adventures! The itinerary gave us a very good introduction to your beautiful state. Our favorite days were the trips to Bay of Fires and Cradle Mountain/Strahan. All of our requested accommodations were excellent.

        We feel very fortunate to have had Hadyn as our tour leader. He was always prompt, professional and accommodating to the group's needs and interests with the itinerary. His incredible knowledge of the flora and fauna of the areas we visited truly enriched our experience. Hadyn's positive attitude and excellent enthusiasm and energy were contagious -- we were always excited to see where we were going each day. By the end of the tour, it seemed like we had made a good friend who took us to all the best parts of Tasmania.

        Many thanks again for our adventure. We leave Tasmania with wonderful memories of the beautiful places and very friendly people we were fortunate to experience.

        We did the Tasmania in 6 Days: the Major Highlights and Attractions tour in March, 2024. This was without a doubt the best tour I have ever been on - due almost entirely to our guide Justin. This tour was not my first "rodeo". He is very personable and worked his butt off to make the trip as easy and enjoyable as possible. If you are looking at a tour in Tas or Australia proper, delay your trip and/or do whatever is necessary to get on a tour with him as guide. If Under Down Under sets a tour through hell and Justin is the guide get on it. I will. Justin's enroute timing with explanations of area history, animals and vegetation was superb. I think he has total recall. He would tell us a story about the area or relate a little history and give us good breaks from such from time to time. His commentary alone was worth the price of the trip. That said, had I rented a car and driven around for 6 days, trying to visit all the cool spots, I would have come away with about 5% of what I received with this tour with Justin. General notes: We opted for a private ensuite room and they were all fine. We had 21 folks in our bus from all over the world. About 11 of the folks opted for hostel accommodation and there were no complaints that I heard. I have never before done an Under Down Under tour and I am not Justin's brother or close friend. Had to add that! The guy just did an amazing job for us! GO HAWKS!

        Really amazing time as a solo female traveller in my 20s. Evan was an amazing tour guide, making us feel at ease and excited for the trip ahead. It was well organised and felt that I saw all the Tassie major highlights including lots of walks. It's a pretty active tour but there are always options for shorter walks if you need. Only downside is the accommodation in Launceston, aware this is outside of tour company's hands otherwise accommodation was great given they are hostels, you can always upgrade when you book your tour.

        I had an amazing time on the 6-Day tour of Tasmania. It was a fast paced itinerary which gave me a great taste of everything Tasmania has to offer. Our tour guide Keygan was so professional, friendly and inclusive of everyone on the tour. He really worked hard to make sure that we had a great time. His knowledge of so many different areas and subjects was truly astounding. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is keen to get out into nature, do a few walks/hikes (all very manageable and can cater to different fitness ranges).

        I think it would have been helpful to have a little more information about to tour prior to starting. The information on the website is essentially all that you receive. This tour has 2 routes (same activities and accomodations) going in clockwise and anti-clockwise rotations. We weren't sure which one we were doing until we got on the bus the first day! Not a major issue or anything that detracted from the overall tour, but just would have been nice to know.

        Just finished the 6 days Explorer Adventure Tour with Underdownunder. Tour was comprised of the 5 days Best of Tasmania Tour with the day tour to Port Arthur added at the start.

        Overall, it was a good tour. If you love beaches, you will enjoy it even more.

        The major dissatisfaction was the accommodation at the Strahan Backpackers Hostel and the two eateries at Strahan. The hostel was a dump. No bathing towels, restrooms and showers were at a separate building, kitchen, floorings, and rooms, all were on the dirty side. The whole setup was more like a basic camp site. Suggest upgrading to the motel option for these two nights.

        The two eateries were rip off joints, with greasy oily food charged at exorbitant prices. A single small fried scallop costs $3. (As a comparison, 4 bigger and better tasting fried scallops in Melbourne costs $3.) You would be better off cooking yourself a simple instant ramen dinner or any microwavable instant meal from IGA.

        Some other travelers also shared these thoughts.

        Thank you for your feedback, particularly for Strahan. With summer on its way, more options for dining should become available in Strahan which is remote and like many regional areas has found it hard to staff restaurants. The hostel is under new management but your feedback was passed on.

        We were looking for a trip that encompassed the best of Tasmania, without the hassle of self driving. This appeared to fit the bill and it delivered in every aspect! Although the days were long, necessary to cover the itinerary, they were well broken up with regular pit stops. We chose the motel option, luxury accommodation it wasn’t, but all were comfortable, clean and good value for money. We finished the trip knowing a lot more about Tasmania than when we started, thanks to the knowledgeable and entertaining Campbell Read, our guide. As a result we will definitely return to the island in the future to explore further.

        Loved this tour as it got you round some of the best sights in Tasmania in 6 days! The walks were great and the tour guide I had made this trip everything it was. Misti is the most amazing guide, from providing interesting knowledge about the locals and the environment to being a source of inspiration and just all round happiness throughout to tour. She kept our spirits high even in the rain and created an amazing space for our group to become a family and create amazing bonds in the space of only a few days. She truly is a one of a kind tour guide and I am so grateful to have experienced her energy as the experience truly would not have been the same without her.

        The areas this company could improve on is one of the hostels we stayed in called the TRC in Launceston wasn’t the nicest, some of the seats on the bus could do with re cushioning as on some of the longer journeys it started to become uncomfortable.

        I had an amazing week with a lovely group and very fun and knowledgable tourguide Keygan. The places we went to were stunning and I learnt a lot about flora and fauna and history of Tasmania. Keygan was very engaging and i never felt lonely in the group. Even got a little birthday surprise - thanx again! ☺️ For me outstanding were the close encounters with Tasmania's wildlife and the breathtaking beaches! Would totally recommend it!

        This was my first trip to Tasmania and this 6-day adventure tour was a fantastic introduction. For anyone who loves scenic walks through rainforests/beaches and hiking parks/mountain, I absolutely recommend this trip. It was late-May and the weather was perfect. Was it cold? Yes, but by lunchtime you get warmer after all the walking. I loved my group. As a Queenslander, I connected with people from Ireland, Switzerland and Britain. Our guide Gareth was great and knowledgeable. Not only did he share endless stories about Tasmania’s history with amusing anecdotes, but he would help some tourists with their post-tour arrangements like airport transportations and booking other tours. He was so supportive. Fun fact: we met into Terri Irwin and Robert Irwin in Strahan and had lovely chat with them (pictured)

        Andrea, our guide, was great. He was really informative, approachable and had a great sense of humour which made the long bus rides even more enjoyable. The places we visited are definitely out of the way and hard to reach independently but it was all taken care of as part of this tour. I’d go again and would recommend my friends to join as well.
