Traveler reviews
Fresh air, beautiful scenery, and so much to learn!
Our guide was Phil and he was so lovely. We came at a very slow season in winter, so our group was just my husband and I, plus a solo traveler. Despite the small group, Phil still put a dedicated effort into our tour of the Salmon Ponds, the tall trees walk, and the waterfalls hike. Throughout the drive, he told history of Tasmania, the agriculture, the local area, etc. Our favorite though was how Phil peppered in little anecdotes of growing up in these places and fun memories he had here. It added so much life to the tour. We stopped for morning tea and a pancake, viewed the ponds, saw a platypus in the river! When we stopped in New Norfolk we had a few minutes to buy lunch for later in the day and there were many choices. The forest was beautiful. We saw a variety of fungi and some very tall trees, plus stunning waterfalls. The hikes are quite pleasant and easy, though consider boots due to mud. I would highly recommend this tour for the beautiful nature but also the care of the company to make a pleasant day trip experience!
A fabulous day
We were well taken care of by our tour guide and driver Sean. The entire day was spectacular which included the amazing tall trees and Russell Falls. Would definitely recommend.
Great spot not far from Hobart
We stayed in the caravan park - such value for money, good facilities and nice forest sites in the eucalypts. Did the three falls walk - well graded, interesting scenery and great waterfalls, especially Russell Falls. The visitors centre was really well presented with helpful staff and lots of information for walkers. We liked the emphasis on looking after the environment.
Beautiful Mt Field National Park
Rainforests! Did a day trip with Experience Tasmania Gray Line Day Tours via bus to Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls. Our driver, Sean, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The rainforests in the national park are beautiful and Russell Falls is spectacular. There’s a lot of walking but it was a tremendous day. The most beautiful scenery you can imagine.
Stunning trail walk
Beautiful trail walk. Well signposted. Cuts right through some amazing trees. Great little coffee shop, plenty of parking.
