Itinerary
Mount Field is one of Tasmania’s oldest National Parks, and surely the prettiest. Only 1.5 hours from Hobart, this natural wonderland features lush temperate rainforest, moody alpine moorland and cascading waterfalls. It’s a place of serenity and great short walks – and there are plenty on the agenda.
We begin with the walk to Russell Falls which is easily Tasmania’s most recognisable waterfall with its 3-tiered drop. It is an easy and enjoyable walk along a beautiful forest track among mixed forest and temperate rainforest species. This is Tassie’s most photographed waterfall, and we soak up the awesome view before continuing our walk.
Just beyond Russell Falls we climb the stairs to Horseshoe Falls, a majestic waterfall snuggled in the forest, which some regard as even more impressive than Russell Falls!
We continue along the Three Falls Circuit and enter the section known as the Tall Trees Track. High above us stand the giant Swamp Gums around 80 metres tall, the world's tallest flowering plant. We enjoy our lunch break in one of the many beautiful picnic settings of the National Park.
Next up is Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary where you’ll meet all kinds of native wildlife. Learn about Tasmania’s rare and precious fauna during an informative wildlife tour conducted by the expert staff at Bonorong.
We take a drive from Bonorong which takes about 60 minutes. We arrive at the summit of Mt Wellington standing proud behind Hobart at 1271 metres above sea level. We enjoy 30 minutes on top of the world. If your eyes aren’t watering from the icy air, they will be from the sweeping views. See the entire city, surrounding mountains and Derwent river system sparkling at your feet. We return to Hobart at around 5:30pm

Amazing day visiting Mt Field National Park, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary & Mt Wellington with our awesome guide Nick Thanks Nick From Jo & Chris 6/5/26
It's for people that love nature and can walk the full distance. It's a wonderful nature trail, rain forest and beautiful water falls.and with some luck also wild life.
Lucas was great. Informative and mostly went at a pace. I could keep up with. Wild life preserve was fascinating. Very cold on top of Mount Wellington, but worth a visit!
Fantastic day out visiting beautiful waterfalls, trekking through the forest wilderness, which was at an easy pace, stopping many times to see the wildlife and listen to our guide Lucas information on nature and surrounding environment. Loved visiting the animal sanctuary so see the Tasmanian Devils and feed the kangaroo’s. Great views of Hobart from Wellington Mtn, despite the ever changing cloud cover. Thanks again to Lucas for making it such an enjoyable day. Would highly recommend this trip.
Great day exploring Mt. Field, Bonorong Sanctuary, and Mt. Wellington. Our guide Clint was fun and engaging, would recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing some nature!
Hike was awesome, Hannah our guide was very knowledgeable. Wildlife park unfortunately animals were in their hiding but not tour company’s fault.
Thanks for joining our Waterfalls, Wilderness and Wildlife Active Day Tour. Great to hear you loved the hike and found Hannah knowledgeable. Wildlife can be a little shy on some days but we are glad you still enjoyed the experience. So great to have you onboard. The Tours Tasmania Team.
I had a lovely time on this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. The bushwalk took us through some amazing scenery, and we saw quite a few pademelons and a number of different bird species. I would definitely recommend hiking boots and not runners though. We arrived at the wildlife sanctuary in time to join a tour to hear about native animals, then we were let loose to hand feed kangaroos (just don't try to feed the geese). We finished on kunanyi, which was cold and windy - definitely rug up - and had a fantastic view. Definitely recommend this tour!
Hi Emily, Thank you for joining our Waterfalls, Wilderness and Wildlife Active Day Tour. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the bushwalk, the scenery and the chance to see so much wildlife along the way. Your guide will be pleased to know their knowledge added to your day, and finishing on Kunyanyi is always a special highlight. Thank you for the lovely recommendation. Warm regards from The Tours Tasmania Team.
Very well planned out trip, the guide ensured that we made the best time out there in the wild. Would recommend this to anyone travelling to Hobart and to witness Tassie ruggedness from the word go!
Thank you Nabeel for joining our Waterfalls, Wilderness and Wildlife Active Day Tour. We are thrilled to hear the itinerary felt well planned and that your guide helped you experience the rugged beauty of Tasmania from the start. Thank you for your kind recommendation.

Stunning scenery and waterfalls in Mt Field National Park. Quite a few steps. Little pademelons around. So cute. Wildlife sanctuary was fun.
