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.

Nice day in nature - great water falls - It was a fun day out in nature. Russell Falls was so pretty and we had enough time to walk up to horseshoe falls too! So pretty. The salmon ponds was neat to see and the crepes were divine. Our guide was funny and had lots of stories and history of the area. Easy day of walking and families would find it easy to navigate. I am a birder, so see the birds was really cool. The tall trees walk was easy and short and the trees so tall!

We thought our... - We thought our driver/guide Dave did an excellent job during the course of the tour. He was very knowledgeable about the area and Tasmania in general. Mt Field National Park the Tall Trees and the rainforest were outstanding venues to hike; available to almost all skill levels. A pleasant surprise was the visit to the Salmon Ponds; great history on fly fishing.
The trip out from Hobart was very informative especially the history of hop growing.
This was the best tour we’ve scheduled in Australia.

Pleasant day travelling inland - Tasmania is a very frustrating place when you can't drive or have access to a car. Day tours from Hobart are a good way to see a bit more of the island. I was keen to go inland for a different view, and this tour fitted the bill.
It can seem a long time to travel just to see a waterfall, but said waterfall is definitely worth seeing! It's a 25min return walk through some beautiful rainforest. Unfortunately, the paved route was closed, so we had to take the dirt track (a bit muddy from recent rain and uneven in places), but there were plenty of elderly people managing it just fine. It was pretty nippy, so a woollen jersey or good jacket is advised for this time of year.
On the way there is a stop at the salmon ponds. That didn't do it for me, but seeing a wild platypus was a real treat. The morning tea- included in the tour price- at the Cafe there was lovely, a drink and crepe. Our guide suggested the lemon butter option, which we nearly all did!
There was a brief stop at a berry farm/shop which wasn't that interesting for me.
But it was nice to see the different scenery along the way and find out a bit more about that part of Tasmania.
A pleasant way to spend my last day in Australia.
