This trip was really excellent, made all the more interesting by the passion of our tour guide, and his amazing knowledge of the area, the fauna, flora, and the history. There was so much to see and soak up. My only issue was the bus, as it was so cramped, my knees were wedged into the seat in front and the seat belts were really really hard to handle. I felt trapped. Additionally, the height of the seat in front prevented me from seeing where we were going. I'll definitely go back there though as it was fascinating.

It was a long day but excellent value. Our guide was very informative and had lots of interesting facts that I didn’t know about Tasmania as a whole as well as the towns we went through. The lunch was great and there were choices between wraps rolls different fillings. Soup warm drinks and even hot chocolate. It was a great day.
