No Experience Required

You step off the minibus into a hush that feels older than the city you left behind. Ferns arch over a shaded track, and a cool, moss-scented breath moves through the trees. In a single day this tour threads together three Tasmanian moods: the dripping rainforest of Mount Field National Park, the intimate drama of Russell and Horseshoe Falls, and the wind-swept panorama from the summit of kunanyi/Mt. Wellington.

Local Insights

Wildlife

  • Tasmanian devil
  • Eastern grey kangaroo / wallaby

History

Mount Field was established in 1916 as one of Australia’s earliest national parks; its protection helped preserve old-growth rainforest and peatland habitats distinct to southern Tasmania.

Conservation

Visitors are encouraged to stick to marked tracks and carry out waste—Tasmania’s sensitive understory and peat soils recover slowly from trampling and rubbish can harm native fauna.
