The trip was great - very active - we saw and did a lot in a short amount of time but it was manageable and well organized. Our guide, Evan, was knowledgeable, well organized and so enthusiastic about where we were going and what we were doing/seeing. We enjoyed meeting lots of new people and getting to know them a little. We chose the motel accommodation and were very satisfied with each location. We would definitely recommend this trip if you want to explore the highlights of Australia with a focus on nature and wildlife to see some amazing places and native wildlife. And, if your guide is Evan, you will not be disappointed!!

From Hobart: 5-Day Tasmania West & East Coast TourReviewed byAlesa,27/02/2025

Trent was a brilliant and professional guide. With his sufficient knowledge, you won't miss anything you need to see and know during the trip. He stopped several times during the trip to point out to us the wild animals along the road, which I appreciated a lot. During the hiking, he also pay careful attention on different groups, so that everybody can have a safe and comfortable hike. The trip was planed well, from the rainforest in the west to the beaches in the east cost. Definitely strongly recommended

Hobart: 4 Day Wild Tasmania TourReviewed byXiang,27/02/2025

The 5-day tour was worth every penny! The hostels (except Launceston) were super cute and clean. Even though we were a very mixed group, our tour guide Phil always managed to offer everyone a good option and made the most of the trip! The hikes to Marion's Lookout and Mt Amos are an absolute highlight. I would definitely recommend the tour, it's also good for solo travelers (:

Brendan was an excellent guide. As a solo traveller not sure where to go in Tasmania, we were taken to the best spots for some unbelievable scenery and met some great friends along the way. You can’t go wrong with this tour.

Very pleasant and interesting boat cruise along the Tamar and surroundings, with expert commentary of the history of Launceston and surroundings including local vineyard's.
