      Terrific Day in Tasmania!
      We had the pleasure of joining Karen on her one year anniversary! What a great day in Tassie! The little town of Penguin is adorable! We got a nice overview of Tasmania and really enjoyed going to Wings Wildlife Park. Karen was a pleasure to work with during the booking process and a gracious hostess.

      A top time with a top operator
      We had a lovely personal tour with Sue. Her policy of keeping numbers to 6 or less ensures a quality day. We flitted between attractions and Sue changed the order as opportunities presented themselves. Sue was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and kept us entertained. The van was very comfortable and we felt safe in her hands. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to do some other tours with her in the future. I think we are exchanging Christmas cards she made us that welcome!

      Great day
      We did a half day wine tour with a platter included. Our tour driver, Sue was great, she's very knowledgeable about the area and the wine. Everything was well organised, all we had to do was show up. We even had enough time to stop at Spreyton Cider which was a nice treat given it was a hot day. Thank you for being so accommodating.

      Interesting wildlife park near Devonport
      Very nice wildlife park. Interesting variety of animals, friendly kangaroos and wallabies, terrific time watching the devils fight over a feeding. Nice cafe to stop at for a snack.

      Terrific Devonport-area day tour
      I arrived in Devonport pretty sick from a rough crossing on the Spirit of Tasmania. Sue took care of everything, getting us to a local chemist then adjusting our tour to match my lower energy level. She know a huge amount about the area and attractions (including the peculiarities of different animals at the Wings Wildlife Park) and out-of-the-way spots like small local cellar doors. Sue made what could have been a miserable day into a great experience.

      THE BEST Wildlife Park Tour
      We visited several wildlife parks throughout Australia and found Wings to be THE BEST. It is a very interactive park and the large staff are excellent at giving information about the various animals and birds who live there. Unlike many other parks, where you just walk around on your own to view, we found the animal keepers kept scheduled times where they would speak about the animals (their behaviors, what they ate, where they came from, etc) so that it was really educational and much more enjoyable. For older folks, they have lots of seating benches around so it is also a place that is easy to visit. While we did not participate in any "animal encounters" we watched many others do so, even with a Tasmanian Devil! There are lots of "baby animals and birds" including 5 adorable emu's! Highly recommended to spend at least half a day there. The ride to the park is drop-dead gorgeous through lots of green rolling hills! Going there by private car (vs cruise ship bus) is a must as you really get a better sense of the town and the surroundings. Don't miss booking with Tasmania Boutique Tours for an exceptional time.

      Small group tour
      Friendly driver, Sue chatted and gave us local knowledge as we headed via Sheffield for morning tea. We didn’t need to follow maps as she confidently headed up to Cradle Mountain. We can thoroughly recommend doing this tour this way.

      Excellent day trip to Cradle Mountain
      Had a great day at Cradle Mountain hosted by Howard and his wife. It was a long drive out but the views and entire park were worth it. The van was comfortable and Howard was a good host while providing good insights on the town. Personally I had no problems communicating and organizing with Howard ahead of time. He was responsive and used WhatsApp, email, and SMS once I secured a local number. Great day and only wish we would have been able to have more time at the park.

      Great Day with Cradle Mountain Tours
      We were very lucky to have such a splendid day with Howard and his loverly wife. It was a relaxing day with beautiful scenery. It is a long way to Cradle Mountain but Howard gave commentary and we had ample breaks including tea and cookies at one "comfort" stop. We would totally recommend booking your Cradle Mountain tour with Howard!

      Great Tour
      Howard Smith was our guide. The tour was excellent. We requested a visit to see a wildlife sanctuary and he dropped us off there and continued with the rest of the group. He then picked us up on the way back and actually refunded some of the money because we didn't need tickets for the national park. He did a great job of narrating the trip. He was waiting at the dock for our group in Buirnie off the Noordam on February 9, 2923.

      Howard has made the trip accomodative to us despite of the tight schedule and age difference with others!

    The Nut gives a perfect scenic view of the majestic town of Stanley. The chair lift can be taken 1 or both ways. We chose the chair lift on the way up and walked the way down which is very steep. The scones in the cafe afterwards were very tasty!

    A day full of vistas beyond adjectives to describe them. I was not expecting the day to be as wonderful as it actually was.
