Saturdays only - Next, we'll venture to the renowned Salamanca Market. This world-class market showcases the very best of Tasmanian culture, offering a delightful array of art, local produce, talented buskers, unique souvenirs, refreshing beverages, and much more!
After exploring the market's offerings for 75 minutes, we will continue our journey through the scenic Coal River Valley wine region. This region is renowned for its award winning cool climate wines. Along the way, we will make a quick stop at the acclaimed Wicked Cheese, where you can enjoy a complimentary cheese sampling and an opportunity to purchase some local produce from the farm Gate cafe. Then, we will proceed to the historic township of Richmond, which is rich in convict history and showcases magnificent sandstone and colonial buildings. Here, you will have the opportunity to admire Australia's oldest bridge and Catholic church. Richmond is also home to numerous charming eateries, making it the perfect spot for our lunch break. Additionally, we highly recommend visiting the Drink Tasmania Tasting House, where you can indulge in tastings of the region's finest wines, whisky, and local produce.
But the real magic of the day comes later, when we visit the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Here, you’ll get up close and personal with some of Tasmania and Australia’s most iconic wildlife. It’s a rare opportunity to meet these incredible creatures in their natural habitat, including the cheeky and elusive Tasmanian Devil. You’ll be captivated by their energy and learn about the sanctuary’s important work in conservation. From the friendly kangaroos that love a cuddle to the adorable koalas and curious wombats, Bonorong is an experience that truly connects you with the heart of Tasmania. It’s a chance to create memories with these remarkable animals that you’ll carry with you long after the day ends.

5.00Be prepared for all kinds of weather. Wear comfortable shoes. Bonorong was fun. Lots to see. The day we went, it was hot so the animals were not active. Didn’t get up see the Tasmanian devil
thanks to our guide, Sky

5.00Sky was an exceptional guide—10/10. Her knowledge of the trees and plants at Mount Wellington made the scenery come alive. We also loved the stop in Richmond; Sky recommended a bakery that served one of the best pies I've ever had. Highly professional and very knowledgeable!
Fine

4.00The route was good and van in fine condition. My only complaint was the driver's sense of humor, which was to insult guests place of origin. He also was a bit racist.

5.00Gray is an amazing tour guide. Loaded with tremendous knowledge due to being an eighth generation Tasmanian there is not much this man did not know. This tour was not rushed, and provided ample opportunities to meander around the various locations that were part of the package. Could not recommend Gray and Tassie Tours enough. Get on board.
Nice day tour
