Our guide was Phil and he was so lovely. We came at a very slow season in winter, so our group was just my husband and I, plus a solo traveler. Despite the small group, Phil still put a dedicated effort into our tour of the Salmon Ponds, the tall trees walk, and the waterfalls hike. Throughout the drive, he told history of Tasmania, the agriculture, the local area, etc. Our favorite though was how Phil peppered in little anecdotes of growing up in these places and fun memories he had here. It added so much life to the tour. We stopped for morning tea and a pancake, viewed the ponds, saw a platypus in the river! When we stopped in New Norfolk we had a few minutes to buy lunch for later in the day and there were many choices. The forest was beautiful. We saw a variety of fungi and some very tall trees, plus stunning waterfalls. The hikes are quite pleasant and easy, though consider boots due to mud. I would highly recommend this tour for the beautiful nature but also the care of the company to make a pleasant day trip experience!
Thank you so much for a fabulous review! Your detailed feedback is very important to us and very much appreciated. It was lovely to hear your comments about Phil also. We will enjoy sharing your review with him. Phil has been a highly valued member of our driver guide team for many years, and I am sure he would love the opportunity to tour with you again in the future.
We were well taken care of by our tour guide and driver Sean. The entire day was spectacular which included the amazing tall trees and Russell Falls. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed in the caravan park - such value for money, good facilities and nice forest sites in the eucalypts. Did the three falls walk - well graded, interesting scenery and great waterfalls, especially Russell Falls. The visitors centre was really well presented with helpful staff and lots of information for walkers. We liked the emphasis on looking after the environment.

Rainforests! Did a day trip with Experience Tasmania Gray Line Day Tours via bus to Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls. Our driver, Sean, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The rainforests in the national park are beautiful and Russell Falls is spectacular. There’s a lot of walking but it was a tremendous day. The most beautiful scenery you can imagine.

Beautiful trail walk. Well signposted. Cuts right through some amazing trees. Great little coffee shop, plenty of parking.
Thanks for the lovely feedback. Wonderful to hear you enjoyed the beautiful walk at Mount Field National Park and all the great facilities around it.
Great, leisurely-paced trip to the park. All of the stops were timed well and our guide Brodie was great.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Delighted to hear you enjoyed the relaxed pace and that Brodie made the trip memorable.
It was a fun day out in nature. Russell Falls was so pretty and we had enough time to walk up to horseshoe falls too! So pretty. The salmon ponds was neat to see and the crepes were divine. Our guide was funny and had lots of stories and history of the area. Easy day of walking and families would find it easy to navigate. I am a birder, so see the birds was really cool. The tall trees walk was easy and short and the trees so tall!
