Mt. Field, Mt. Wellington, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Richmond Day Tour from Hobart.
This day trip is a nature lover’s dream. We start the day with a picturesque journey through the Derwent Valley to Mt. Field National Park, where Russell Falls is the star attraction. It’s a short stroll underneath enormous fern forests and some of the world’s tallest trees. After the calming effects of the tranquil walks we follow the fresh water to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary to visit Tasmanian Devils, wombats, koalas and more. We hand feed kangaroos before heading to the picturesque town of Richmond to feed ourselves. Tasmanian Scallop pies are just one of the wonders found in Richmond. After photographing the oldest bridge in Australia we make our make back to Hobart to summit Mt. Wellington for breathtaking views and panoramic pictures.

Throughout the entire day he never lost his energy and friendliness at all.
Good safe driver - felt at ease in his care.
Other people on the tour were interesting people from all over the world as you would expect.
Good quality tour company. I got the impression that they cared about more than just the money - they picked up a hiker who was stranded up the top in 2*C weather and refused to take payment from him.

Driver (Simon) was a great experience.
Would recommend.

Our guide Garry was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Tasmania. From the start of the day everything was seamless and very well organised.
The itinerary was perfectly paced, beginning with a beautiful rainforest walk at Mt Field, followed by time in the historic town of Richmond, a visit to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, and finishing at the stunning lookout from the top of Mt Wellington. The views were absolutely breathtaking!
Bonorong was a real highlight. It was lovely to see the care and dedication given to the animals, and we even had the chance to hand feed kangaroos which made the experience very special.
Each stop was thoughtfully planned and Garry’s commentary throughout the day added so much to the experience. This tour is a fantastic way to see a variety of Tasmania’s landscapes and wildlife in one day.
Highly recommended to anyone visiting Hobart!
Our driver did his best on the 3th of December.
Bonorong was a disappointment, as we did not see a single animal in the first fifteen minutes! All the enclosures were empty or they were hiding. Richmond is a nice place with nice houses. Mt. Wellington was really for breathtaking views and panoramic pictures.
The guide, Brett was knowledgeable and very helpful during the tour. As a science teacher I appreciated all the information especially about the animals at Bonorong animal sanctuary.
We did a hike at My Field national park which had some lovely waterfalls and a visit to the animal sanctuary which I really enjoyed . Last last location was Mt Wellington with a wonderful view. But a word to the wise , take warm clothes as the wind chill made it feel like -8C. All in all a very pleasant trip.
Richmond is a cute little town with great food and shops, was a perfect place for lunch. Finishing off the day at the top of Mt Wellington (with perfect weather may I add), was an excellent way to finish the tour. While it was freezing, the views are absolutely incredible! Brett was our guide and it is clear he has a true passion for his job. He has profound knowledge of Tasmania’s history, nature and the wildlife, I loved hearing all of his little facts about Tassie. A 10/10 tour, would recommend!
Our guide Brett was fantastic! So knowledgeable and passionate. We enjoyed hearing his many interesting stories and facts 😊
Would highly recommend!
The falls were AMAZING.
Our daughters really enjoyed the Wildlife Sanctuary.
We would have liked a bit more time in Richmond. It looks like there was more to explore.
We appreciated that even though Mt Wellington was closed due to road works, they substituted Rosny Hill Lookout and Mt. Nelson Signal Station.
The only downside were the couple who chose to ignore the time we were told to be back at the bus and our driver had to keep calling them to find out where they were.
