Enjoyed the day in Hobart, views from Mt Wellington were amazing. Saw tasmanian devils and other wildlife at the animal sanctuary. Richmond was interesting, the bakery is not to be missed if you like savouries or cakes. Our tour guide was so informative. I would recommend this tour. Just make sure you're not left behind at Mt Wellington.

Skye was a terrific guide. She made sure we got to all the sites on the itinerary and gave us so much info about Hobart and Tasmania, in general. We saw so many Kangaroos and many other Australian wildlife species, including a Tazmanian Devil at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.

The weather didn’t cooperate (lots of mist and rain) but we had a fun day anyway. I wish the tour guide (Skye) would have provided a commentary during the drive so we got more information on what we were driving past. I also think the tour organizers should have a rainy day plan as it was somewhat unorganized.

Mount Wellington is a highlight, but unfortunately the weather was uncooperative for our visit and we had to make other plans... Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is interesting. The town of Richmond is lovely!
Our guide, Skye, did her best to keep us all entertained and engaged while she had to go shift from plan A to plan B to plan C. All due to weather and one option being mysteriously closed on a weekday.
I would probably have given this tour a higher rating if we had seen what we hoped to see ... it's not ideal in poor weather. I would recommend this excursion on a good weather day only.

We had very bad weather and our driver offered to improvise to improve our experience and she was EXCELLENT. We got to see a platypus in the wild, had a lovely lunch, an incredible trip experience at Bonorong and she finished it up by getting us back to the ship in a timely manner. She did it all with a delightful sense of humor and a lot of knowledge. Exactly the experience I was looking for

It is great to hear Skye made the most of the day despite the weather and created such a memorable experience.
Hope to see you again on another Tassie adventure!

Make sure to bring a jacket. If weather is rainy with cloud cover you will see nothing at the summit of Mt. Wellington. No backup plan. It would be nice if the Richmond Goal Museum was included in the tour price. Richmond itself is quaint and historic. The Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is a great nod to Tasmania and their wildlife preservation
