Exceptional tour, and a great value
We travel extensively. This was perhaps the best small-group tour we have ever taken. The itinerary, the accommodation and the guide were all exceptional, especially given what seemed to us to be a very modest price point. Our guide, Tim, had an encyclopedic knowledge of the flora, fauna, history and geology of Tasmania. He ran a tight ship, keeping our group of 12 moving along (but not rushing us) so we could see everything on the full agenda. The accommodations exceeded expectations, especially at Craggy Peaks and Bicheno by the Bay. The wildlife was amazing! We booked this trip so we could see Tasmania’s unique animals, and we were thrilled with all the sightings we had of platypus, echidna, wombats and quolls in the wild and then the Tasmanian devil feeding at Nature World. We recommend this tour with the highest praise. Book it!

Great trip, would recommend.
An Unforgettable Wildlife Experience
Tim was an excellent guide. He was friendly, adventurous, and incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife. Thanks to his expertise and keen eye, we were able to spot a variety of animals in the wild, including platypuses, pademelons, wombats, wallabies, and quolls. We also had the chance to see Tasmanian devils, although they were in a wildlife sanctuary rather than in the wild. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Tim, chatting with him, and getting to know our fellow tour participants. It was a truly memorable experience.
A perfect way to see the natural beauty of Tasmania
This was a wonderful way to see a lot of the natural beauty of Tasmania in a relatively short time. Our guide Tim was extremely knowledgable, dependable, professional and very good company, and his skill at spotting wildlife lead to an exceptional duck billed platypus encounter and a whale sighting. Highlights include Cradle Mountain and Wineglass Bay but every day we saw several incredible sights. Accommodation and food were of a high standard too. This is a very good tour for solo travellers or small groups who want to learn more about this fantastic island.
Wild life of Tasmania
The tour was exceptionally well organised. Our guide, Tim, was friendly, warm and professional. He led the group in a relaxed and enjoyable way, and everything ran according to schedule. He also shared plenty of useful information about local restaurants, shops and other places of interest, which made the trip even more enjoyable. There were hikes to suit all fitness levels, allowing everyone to enjoy Tasmania’s wonderful nature at their own pace, without feeling rushed. The accommodation was excellent, nestled in the heart of nature, and offered opportunities to explore the surroundings independently. It was a fantastic trip with a lovely group of people and an outstanding guide. I highly recommend this tour!
Amazing scenery, and hiking experience for solo travelers
It’s an amazing experience and I would recommend to my family and friends. Before the trip, Trent patiently answered all my questions and anddressed all my concern. He even helped me book other tours in Australia. During the trip, Tim did an excellent job managing time and team. His local knowledge is incredible. He even knows how tap water tastes at each filling station and he’s very kind to offer me his last bottle of water. I can always count on his honest assessment of the trail to make the right choice. We even visited one more beach than the original plan. We were always the first to arrive at each side to avoid the crowds. The attractions they choose are very scenic and authentic. The restaurants Tim recommended are all very good. And his bbq skills are highly appreciated. The company offers multi-share lodging options, which is great for solar travelers with a limited budget. They are also very good at taking care of guests special needs. They are also very conscious about protecting the environment and the wildlife. Normally, I prefer travel independently, but this tour exceeded my expectations as I couldn’t do better on my own. I’m glad that I had a chance to support a great local business. So a huge thank you to Trent, team, and their team!
Great tour
It was the best tour we took in Tasmania. We saw all wild animals we wanted to see, did several great hikes, nice walks. It was a lot of interesting information about wildlife and the acomodation was perfect. Highly recommend:)
The beauty of Tasmania’s Wilderness
A great mix of wilderness experiences for all capabilities. Tim was a fabulous guide/driver with so much enthusiasm and energy, I can understand why he has many great reviews prior to my tour. He is just the perfect person for guiding this tour with his love for the wilderness and getting out of the cities. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He has an abundance of knowledge, what a great tour.
Wonderful Tasmania
Wonderful trip! Tour leader/driver Tim was experienced, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. He made sure we had plenty of time to explore and shared his love and appreciation for Tasmania with us.
Wild Tasmania Fun
This is an amazing trip, covering off so many aspects of the Wild Tasmania. Excellent tour guide who was one of the group and gave so much interesting information. Accommodation choices were great. A lot is done to ensure a good and safe time. So enjoyed.
Varied tour with excellent guide
The varied tour provides a good overview of Tasmania's diverse landscapes. Our excellent guide, Tim, with his in-depth knowledge of Tasmania’s flora, fauna and history, contributed greatly to the success of the trip. He was very responsive to the wishes of the group and took them into account in the programme. Even if the weather was not good, he was able to motivate the group to hike. The accommodations were very good and the food too. I can recommend this trip to everyone in full.
Tasmania Up Close and Personal!
This trip was amazing! Our guide knew so much! The whole trip was very well- planned! We hiked a lot, with choices of degree of difficulty. We learned about what we were seeing. We visited places with beautiful vistas. Everyone had the food options they needed, no matter what their diet. The places we stayed took care of our needs. I would take this trip again!
Excellent experience!
The tour was a fantastic experience for me, and one I can’t recommend highly enough! Tim, our guide, had a truly extensive knowledge of everything to do with Tasmania – it exceeded all expectations! The group was a good mix of ages (20+ to 60+), everyone got on well together, and it was a great group experience. The accommodation was really well chosen – a far cry from the typical hostel style. Shared accommodation with single and shared rooms in large holiday homes that were well furnished, even in the middle of the Tasmanian wilderness! You could even spot wombats and wallabies from the balcony! There were always great tips for food along the way. A big thank you also goes to Tim for organising the barbecue – ‘barbie and marshies’ combined with wildlife spotting were brilliant. If you want to experience Tasmania’s national parks and endemic animals up close, and love hiking and nature, the ‘4-day Wild Tasmania tour’ can only be highly recommended!
Tasmania ❤️
Lovely 4 days little journey, saw lots of animals, amazing nature parks. Good tour construction, lots of small nice stops for wildlife spotting and little snacks on the way. Hotel selection was just perfect, very cozy and decent cabins and rooms. Our guide Tim was awesome, very knowledgeable, funny, sporty and helpful. Thank you so much for such opportunity to explore Tasmania together. ❤️
Outstanding way to see the best Tasmania has to offer
Excellent way to see some of the best parts of Tasmania. It is expertly organised, which comes as no surprise once you get to know Tim, who has an outstanding degree of knowledge about every corner of the island and its history. Tim gets everybody involved and will always be on hand to help should any problems that arise. The most impressive parts of the trip for me were the two hikes around mt cradle and mt amos. The latter provides an excellent challenge, scrambling your way to the top under the guidance of Tim, who knows the best way to help you across every single rock, should you need it. There are also plenty of more scenic walking routes, which looked fantastic, along with giving an option for every level of experience. The accommodation was considerably better than I had realised when booking. The cabins were in some surreal locations and of great quality, which make it very hard to want to stay hostels after the trip! Overall, I would recommend the trip to anyone considering it, as long as you're prepared for some early starts! Thank you Tim and Trent!
A great way to tick off Tassie!
Having just completed the 4 day tour, I could not recommend it more! We were short for time but this was the perfect way to feel like you tick off Tassie. Well suited to those who like a challenging hike and love wildlife. All the days were well structured with great stops. Our tour guide Tim was 10/10, he even taught us how to do some acrobatic tricks! Will certainly be recommending to my friends!
Fabulous experience
Had a terrific time exploring parts of Tasmania with WTT. Our guide Tim has a depth and breadth of knowledge about Tasmania, and honestly, anything (if he doesn't have an answer, he will find it for you). This added so much context to where we were, what we were seeing and experiencing. In my group, we had a wide demographic of travellers -- from age and dietary requirements to walking preferences. He always organised our itinerary such that everyone's needs were catered to. I joined the trip solo and walked out with many friends from different corners of the world. Highly recommend!
Amazing nature tour
You can tell lots of care has been given to every aspect of this tour. The itinerary is arranged as such that you get to see the highlights of Tasmania without feeling like you're spending the entire time in the van. The accomodation exceeded expectations, especially on the second night where there was an abundance of nature around the cabin (including a wombat taking an evening and morning stroll past!). I can't compliment our tour guide Tim enough. He provided immense amounts of local knowledge and commentary which really enhanced the tour. Overall, I could not recommend this tour enough and feel it was great value for money. I learnt so much that we would never have found out if we had done a self guided tour, and this took all the stress of planning out of the equation.
Fantastic guide and tour!
To my embarrassment, I'm only posting a review now of the fantastic four-day tour my wife and I took with Trent last year. It was wonderful in so many ways... 1. Trent is a great guy and guide...friendly, even-keeled and extremely knowledgable. Our very international group included folks ranging from their early twenties to three of us who were about 70. He offered hiking and other options for our varying levels of fitness and interest. 2. We covered a lot of ground without feeling rushed. And the ground we covered included lots of wonderful sites and experiences. 3. The accommodations and meals along the way ranged from perfectly fine to superb. 4. The large van we were in was easily roomy enough even though it was full. I could go on, but suffice to say that I recommend Trent and Wild Tasmania Tours without reservation. My only regret is that it took me so long to post this review! PS: One thing I'll add is that the Tripadvisor information might indicate that the maximum age is 65. As noted, three of us were all about 70 and it was no problem at all.
Highly recommend
Loved this tour! Our tour guide, Tim, was great and super knowledgeable. I had the best time exploring Tasmania and would highly recommend Wild Tasmania Tours!
Simply... do this tour. Positively grand.
Recently did the 4 Day Wild Tasmania Tour with, yes, Wild Tasmania Tours. It was a wonderful experience that I would fully recommend to anyone and everyone. While four days is, of course, wildly insufficient to see Tasmania, this tour is set up in such a way that you get to see SO MUCH, while also getting the opportunity to really dive into a few places, rather than just driving by everything. It was an active tour (though options existed for varying levels of activity) that ran the gambit - hiking, rock scrambling, animal adventures, BBQ, frisbee on the beach... you name it! Much of the quality of a tour is a function of the tour guide, and my group was lucky in having Tim lead us fearlessly into Tassy (as they say). He was such fun. He was a fount of knowledge in sharing information on most topics under the sun... even ON the sun (as we were there doing an eclipse (granted, it was lunar)! Chunks of the time in the van were filled with facts and stories and histories on what we were seeing, which really added color to the whole experience. He was patient, helpful, and... basically... perfect for this tour. Thank you, Tim. Anyway, not to drone on, but I highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed in the slightest.
Amazing 4 days!
Super experience! Tim was our guide and was genuinely interested in the group having a good time. He was extremely welcoming and informative, going above and beyond throughout the whole duration. Very impressed with the accommodation and tour schedule. Highly recommend! Gemma & Bernie
On a scale of 1 to 5, this rates a 10!
This trip was a fantastic experience! If I could give it a 10, I would! We were told Tasmania was a beautiful country and this tour proved it. Lots of variety with spellbinding scenery, great wildlife, good food. The lodging exceeded expectations as the cabins were actually furnished apartments with the comforts of home. (We were expecting something a bit more rustic.) Tim was an outstanding guide and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fabulous time. We were impressed with his depth of knowledge on a variety of subjects; plus, he had a great sense of humor and kept us entertained! We are so glad we signed up for this tour and would recommend it to anyone who loves wildlife and the outdoors.
Incredible Tassie Experience
Incredible trip — honestly exceeded my expectations. Tim’s knowledge of Tassie and the way he tells stories made a huge difference to the whole experience. He’s not just running a tour — he actually cares. He even connected me with someone when I mentioned I was looking for a car, and I ended up buying exactly what I was after. Didn’t just have a great guide — genuinely feel like I made a mate.
