Fun and Informative - Grey was a brilliant tour leader. He knew the areas intimately and brought real colour to the trip. Even when it rained in Cradle Mountain we took a lot from the walks. Wine Glass Bay was just stunning.

Bruny Island is a must-see - I had an amazing day trip to Bruny Island, and the breathtaking scenery, especially under the bright, sunny sky, truly captivated me! The delicious food at Hotel Bruny made lunch a delightful experience. I especially loved strolling through the temperate rainforest, where we even spotted some Pademelons!

Great 2 day tour! - Ben was an exceptional tour guide during our trip to Bruny Island. His friendly and approachable nature instantly made us feel at ease. He went out of his way to ensure everyone in the group was comfortable and well taken care of. Ben’s knowledge of the island’s history, wildlife, and local spots added depth to the experience, and his genuine enthusiasm for sharing it was infectious. He was attentive to every detail, from answering our questions to making sure we had the best opportunities for photos and exploration. A truly memorable experience thanks to Ben’s outstanding guidance! Jodie was also an outstanding tour guide during our visit to Port Arthur, Tasmania. Her deep knowledge of the site's history, combined with her engaging storytelling, brought the stories of the past to life. Jodie’s ability to balance historical facts with light humor made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Packed schedule - The schedule is quite packed and does not offer enough time to explore deeper. But it’s acceptable due to the time constraints of a day tour.
