Saw lots. A very busy day. Idea for anyone on a short stay in Hobart. Guide was very knowledgeable.

Brett was such a phenomenal guide! We very much enjoyed learning all about the many animals around Tasmania. Hearing his insights as a local really gave us a slice of life perspective for a Tasmanian. Mt. Field in particular was fantastic - Brett said it was some of the cleanest air on Earth and it certainly tasted that way! For us the highlight was Bonorong - hand feeding Kangaroos was so awesome! Lastly, wanted to note that Brett was really helpful in recommending things to do around Hobart (where all of the attendees from the tour were picked up). He suggested walking up the Rivulet to potentially see a Platypus (we did!) and end at Cascade Brewery. I highly recommend this trip to anyone, especially if you don’t have a ton of time in Tasmania like we did on our honeymoon. Thank you again Jarrod, Brett and team!

There’s snow and rainbow when we visited Mt. Wellington. It’s freezing cold but with fantastic view there. The tour guide is very kind and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the one-day trip and highly recommend it.
