Beautiful trip with two phenomenal guides Steve & Misty. On this tour you’ll experience the best of the best locations Tassie has to offer. The knowledgeable & passionate guides will eagerly answer questions & ensure you’re having a good time to enjoy the day at your own pace. Not only will you be experiencing the great TASSIE outdoors, you’ll be surrounded by kind & genuine folks seeking to explore & connect with one another. 100% recommend doing this tour solo or with a couple of mates when down in Van Diemen’s Land. A big thank you to Steve & Misty & to the many new friendships for making this trip ever so magical & one to remember.

It's the best trip that I 've ever been. Stunning coast, rainforests, wild animals everything is so amazing. (we even found the wild platypus!!!) Thanks for the professional tour guides to tell us lots of stories about Tasmania. I will definitely travel again in the future.

I saw sooo much in 5 days . Tasmania is beautiful, even with shity weather. It rained most of the time while I was there and I even had snow on the cradle mountains ( it was Nov/Summer) but it was still beautiful and kinda mysterious in it own way.

Enjoy the strenuous activities with the group and the excellent tour guide/driver.

This was the best tour I’ve been on. Good pacing and really fun.
