About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Russell Falls, Mount Field National Park, Tasmania Australia
Mt. Field National Park offers a variety of walks in Tasmania’s oldest National Park. Most famous for Russell Falls & the Tall Trees we explore the various walks and regions of this diverse area which is only a 1.5 hr drive from Hobart.
Russell Falls is easily Tasmania’s most recognisable waterfall with its 3-tiered drop. It is an easy and enjoyable walk along a beautiful track that takes us to this photogenic waterfall and beyond to Horseshoe Falls. We also make our way along the Tall Trees Track where high above us stand the giant Swamp Gums 80 metres tall. This is a series of short, spectacular walks amongst the cool and quiet rainforest, eucalypts, streams and local wildlife.
Further up into the National Park we join the Pandani Grove Trail which takes us around the alpine Lake Dobson. Soak up the wilderness and surrounding mountain air in this lesser visited region of the park. Lake Dobson is often covered in a layer of ice and surrounded with snow in the winter months – just gorgeous! The vegetation dates to Gondwanaland days giving this area an enchanting and ancient feel.
We enjoy a lunch break in one of the numerous beautiful settings at Mt. Field before continuing onwards for the day.
We visit Bonorong Wildlife Park which is home to many of our rescued and well-loved wildlife. Tassie Devils are close up; wallabies are freely hopping around the park and many more of our local favourites are easily discovered here.
To top off this very Tasmanian day we head to the summit of kunanyi /Mt. Wellington (1271m) Hobart’s iconic backdrop. The views from the top are breathtaking and the vista is expansive. This is a fantastic way to wrap up a day exploring many of Tassie’s most unique and noteworthy experiences, rainforests, waterfalls, wildlife and fabulous scenery.
We return you to your Hobart central city accommodation around 5.30 – 6.00pm.
Duration: 11 hours

Thank you Clint! Even though you made it rain, HA HA. Wonderful trip. Still can't believe how high the trees are.
Amazing Tour and Fantastic Tour Guide, highly recommendable.
The trip was amazing! We saw a lot of interesting and beautiful places. Our guide was a really cool guy with a lot of knowledge. He was really friendly, patient and well explaining. At the Bonorong Wildlife Sancturary we had a quick tour. They told us about their activities, about the animals. We had the opportunity to see tasmanian devil feeding, baby wombats and baby kangaroos. It is an amazing place. The trip was really great! I recommend it. We had a very good time.
