Fun time in Tasmania

The waterfalls at Mt.Field are beautiful. The animal sanctuary is a good place to see wild animals that are being well cared for. Wellington affords spectacular views (if the weather conditions are right) of Hobart and the surrounding countryside.

Great Guide/Driver

This was a fantastic full day tour, Jarrod the guide was very knowledgeable. However, I would recommend booking direct with iwandertassie.com as my sister is disabled and we weren't able use her companion card and concession card when booking with viator. I didn't realise viator is only a booking service :(

Day in Hobart

Richmond is a very nice, small town. We found nice souvenirs in the gift shop at the Goal (old jail) without actually going through the jail. Small area across street has nice coffee shop, wine shop, etc. The wildlife sanctuary is nice, only issue was too crowded on our tour do to cruise ship and holiday.

A thorough day trip that took our group from the top of Mt. Wellington (amazing views) to the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, where people can get up close and personal to Tasmania's amazing animals. Our guide, Brett, was very knowledgeable about Tasmania's unique wildlife. No surprise as he's a former zookeeper!

Bus was right on time to pick up from collection points so make sure you are. Bus seating a bit tight but comfortable enough. Our driver/ guide Jarrod was excellent. Clear and interesting commentary. Make sure you wear layered clothes as weather can change quickly. Especially when visiting Mt. Wellington.
