Trent was so knowledgeable the entire time! All of the hikes were so amazing and the scenery was breathtaking! If you are looking for a tour that is very nature and hiking centered, this is a great choice! He was always great at letting the group know the plans for the day and giving us the time we would need to be back and would be arriving at locations for everything. After this tour, it is on my bucket list to go back to Tasmania and visit all of the places we went on this tour and more.

A tour that took in the places in Tasmania that I had always wanted to visit. Full days with hikes, ice cream stops and so many opportunities to take fantastic photographs of bush, beach, lake, river, forest and creatures. Trent, our guide/driver, was very knowledgeable about places to find wildlife and the history of the places we visited. The hiking options were suitable for all ages. I enjoyed traveling with a diverse and interesting group.

Really nice trip!
The tour covers a big part of the island and many must sees! Trent knows where to bring you, what he's talking about and is very passionate about Tasmania.
Met some really nice people on the tour that I'll definitely see again while travelling Australia.

I had a really good experience with this tour. I recommend this tour for solo travelers.Trent is an experienced tour guide, he knows a lot about Tasmania.Trent make you to wake up early but you will arrive before other large tours and have good photos without people. I was not sure if I can do the wineglass bay but Trent encouraged me and I did it!

This tour was spectacular! We saw so many great places! Trent was a very good tourguide with a lot of knowledge about the island and the wildlife/Fauna here. What I loved was that we had quite a lot of stops throughout the day, so it wasn‘t sitting in a bus for hours. Thank you for this amazing tour!

Had the BEST experience on the 4 day tour.
The itinerary is a great pace and we saw so many stunning parts of Tasmania. Enjoyed some beautiful walks, wildlife spotting, as well as great food and accommodation options.
Trent is an excellent guide, super knowledgeable and helpful, always pointing out wildlife and interesting things.
I am a solo traveler and met a lovely group of people, it was nice that it was a smaller group and so we always beat the crowds!
Thank you! Would absolutely recommend.

This trip witnessed how unique and beautiful Tasmania is in the world. Trent is the best tour guide I have ever encountered. He is very much like a National Geographic host. He is knowledgeable, always encourages group members and tries his best to help. It makes people happy along the way. Stop to admire the wildlife, and the firewood, you won't be stuck in the car for too long, the small group makes the trip more free, Trent was smart enough to keep us aware of the tourist crowds, so you can truly immerse yourself in the beautiful forest With the beach, an unparalleled experience!

Excellent trip, lots of ground covered. Can't think that anyone could get to see what we saw on their own, in the time. Early starts avoided crowds, Trents knowledge of the State and nature is comprehensive and he works hard to keep everyone happy. Accommodation varied and a first experience of Pods was memorable. Varied group gelled brilliantly. Well done.
