Marvel at towering trees and the breathtaking Russell Falls, then get up close with Tasmanian wildlife, including gentle kangaroos. This unique experience combines nature, adventure, and conservation.
The tour starts between 08.30 am and 09.00 am at your accommodation in Hobart’s CBD. Our journey takes you through the picturesque Derwent Valley, dotted with orchards, hop fields and quaint reminders of the historical origins of the area. Then, travel to Mount Field National Park, one of the oldest National Parks in the state. Explore the green forest canopy, where you crane your neck to see some of the tallest flowering trees in the world. The majesty of Russell Falls is revealed after a short stroll through the lush rainforest. After lunch (own expense), travel to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, your opportunity to experience Tasmanian Devils, Wombats, Quolls and other Australian animals first-hand. The Tasmanian kangaroos at Bonorong are incredibly gentle, so take the delightful opportunity to hand-feed them.
