5.00Amazing experience from booking to final drop off. A small local company with very dedicated staff who go out of their way to ensure that guests have a great experience. Tim was super informative and communicated the plans for the day really well. A great way to see the best of Tassie’s natural sights whilst avoiding the crowds. A very well planned tour with a great pace and plenty of activities. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking adventure.

5.00Loved this small group tour, with just 9 of us. Well-paced with beautiful waterfalls and stunning forests along the way. The walk at cradle mountain around dove lake was the highlight! Never gave I drunk in a mountain more. Just subbing!

5.00The two days were packed with activities from 7am to 6pm - offering many windows to Tasmania’s natural and historic faces. My daughter and myself thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The tour guide planned the trip wonderfully so that we can have early access to the most stunning views of the Cradle mountain.
Highly recommended!

5.00Trent has shown my family and I the true beauty and wild side of Tasmania over just a course of 2 days! We were lucky enough to even catch a glimpse of a wild platypus! He is extremely knowledgable and professional in his job and I would highly recommend anyone considering to visit Tasmania to go with Wild Tasmania Tours for an unforgettable experience. :)
Great taste of wild Tasmania!

5.00Trent does a beautiful job planning a wonderful tour and communicating and educating along the way, so that you come away with a great experience and an understanding of local vegetation, wildlife, a bit of history and culture. There were a good number of stops along the way to stretch legs and see some local towns and catch a platypus siting ( we were so lucky!). Loved the walks and the chance to see wombats and other creatures in the wild.
Well organized yet flexible

5.00Everything from booking until drop off was perfect. Trent provided us an overview each day and enough information BEFORE each stop. This gave us ample time to prepare what clothes to wear and items to bring. Like a good teacher, he gave a summary of the activities we had on this wonderful 2-day experience of a lifetime.
