AI summary of 59 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides' extensive knowledge of Tasmania's history, geology, and wildlife, along with their friendly and passionate approach to the role, and many highlight the tour's excellent coverage of the island's natural highlights across diverse landscapes in just seven days. The most striking aspect is the itinerary itself, which covers a substantial geographical area and offers a good variety of activities including walks and hikes at different difficulty levels, allowing travellers of varying fitness and mobility to participate. The main caveat is that the tour moves at a fast pace with early starts and long days, and some travellers found the accommodation occasionally cramped, the bus tight for taller guests, and important logistical details—such as the need to pre-book optional activities like penguin tours, the amount of walking involved each day, and the exclusion of meals from the package—insufficiently clear beforehand, whilst a few noted that the group accommodation option can result in sharing dorms with strangers on the final night.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
Carl was a great guide, friendly and full of knowledge, and you'd never guess it was his first tour. The places were spectacular, and the harder walks always had an easier option. A great pick if you love the outdoors.
I did a seven-day tour in April 2026 with Stan and Lynna, who were both awesome. A lovely mix of ages and personalities, and we covered a lot of ground. Highly recommended for a first look at Tassie.
We saw so much of Tasmania in seven days, loved the accommodation and had time to explore or hike at each stop. Our guide Brendon was kind, funny and informative and made sure we all spotted the wildlife.
We did the seven-day east and west coast tour and it was great value, with comfortable transport and clean motels. There was enough time at each stop, hikes to suit your ability, and our guide Brendan was knowledgeable and helpful.
A great group and a super guide in Brantson, who showed us more than the plan promised and answered all our questions. You could see how much he loves life in Tasmania.
