Well we started off in Hobart on 14th feb 2018 visiting New Norfolk,Mt field Nat Park and Russel Fall,all very impressive,Tungatinah Power Station,Lake St Clair,Nelson Falls,Queenstown on our way to Strahan for our first night stay.Day 2 was up early to visit Montezuma Falls and the Metal Suspension Bridge which was very scary for me.All very impressive walking thro the Forest on the way to the Falls. Not vey pleasant in the pouring rain. Then we visited Roseberry,Henty Dunes which was very nice and back to Strahan for our secon night stay with a Barbecue Laid on by our Leader. Accomodation at the Backpackers Lodge was very good. Day 3 we we maide an early start to Cradle Mountain a which was shrouded in mist because of the persistent rain we were experiencing.We all did the Dove Lake Circuit in the Rain but views of the Lake and Scenery made up for it. Then it was off to Ashgove Cheese Factory for tastings and Coffee. Then on to House of Anusers for chocholate tasting etc.Then stopping at shefield for Groceries we arrived in Launceston for our 3 night stop.Up early again on the 4 day to Bay of Fires with mazing Rock Formations.A visit to St Helens was next and then on to the Wild Life Sanctuary to see the Feeding of the Tasman Devils,Quells and Wombats.We then arrived in Bischeno for our nightly stop.An early start was made on the 5th day to Wine Glass Bay Lookout. Some of us went to the beach down below. While others just went to hazards beach. The Climb up to to the Lookout over Wine Glass Bay was exhausting to say the least. It was for me!!!!. Then we went to see the Swansea Lighthouse which was interesting. Then on to Kate Berry Farm to taste the Ice Cream. Passing through Orford we arived back at Hobart around 05:30 pm on 19th Feb 2018. All in all a very interesting trip but far too much walking for my liking. A thoroughly mixed bunch of passengers who got on with each other very well.I must commnd the Driver as weel who was very knowlegeable and drove the Bus well. This is entirely my own opinion.

The tour was very well organized. The various sights were amazing and there were enough breaks so that the long stretches of driving were easy to do. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

First and foremost, you have to up your transportation game! The seating and van size were absolutely unacceptable. Our guide was a little inexperienced but he was a native Tasmanian and had a great energy. Hikes were awesome. Great vistas and incredible views!

Local feel, down to earths guide Jess,
Hiking options, hostel lodging, local characters , like at Bumpy’s
If you don’t walk and do the hikes, you will miss the real experience and scenery

This van trip around Tasmania was excellent primarily due to the expert and professional nature of our guide Phil with Down Under Tours operator. His knowledge of Tasmanian/Australian flora, fauna, history, geology, economics and sociopolitical topics brought a fantastic perspective to the tour of this beautiful island. Phil was also a skilled, safe and conscientious driver which made the tour even more enjoyable. The mix of folks on the tour, while random, was a great cross section of ages and world origins which was an extra bonus.

I seldom go for organized tour and this has far exceeded my expectation. Very action packed 5 days and yet not rushed among stops. Enjoyed the bushwalk and hiking and (definitely need proper hiking shoes) and got into the cold water. And Rachel our guide has made this tour a blast to have. She went extra miles for everyone to be engaged and taken care of, and making the tour festive/family like over the Christmas time. Thank you Rachel.

We paid extra for a Double Room. They put us up at the Mews Motel in Launceston because the motel they usually use only had 3 rooms so we were put at the Mews Motel. Worst hotel we ever stayed at. There was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. I took a photo and can prove it. Phil was just Ok as a guide. He found humor in the fact that we lost a Japanese gal at the park and had to spend 40 mins looking for her. Van was super tight and uncomfortable. If I ever do a tour again I would only do 3 days not 5.

Enjoyed the youthful camaraderie. Ranged from strenuous hiking to mild walks. Boat trip in the roaring 40’s (windy latitude), hikes to high points and hostel living was superbly fun.

Our tour guide, Jess, was amazing. She was a fountain of information on Tassie history as well as the flora and fauna of the island. The tour operator, Under Down Under, was very efficient and customer oriented. With one small exception the tour was on time all the time. We had a short delay in the first hour or so at the start of the tour but the company rectified the situation and made it right by buying everyone dinner the first night. There were two hiking situations and Jess was able to make everyone in our group comfortable in choosing an option suited to their abilities.
We were on the 5 day tour and we covered the entire island with the exception of Port Arthur an Bruny Island, which I believe were included in the 7 day version. We would highly recommend this tour.

Booked online based on tour specs in website and opted for single room in motel accommodation. Specs states breakfast provided with the 5 days itinerary. Van transporter was on time for pick ups. The group has 24 pax and was max out in a 24 seater van. For the daily transfers from city to city, it’s pretty uncomfortable squeeze. 22 pax stayed in backpackers hostel while I and another lady choose single motels. Day 1&2 accommodation was unacceptable in cabin type rooms in a caravan park place. Imagine the Tour Guide/Driver tells you for breakfast, find a hole opening at a fence about 100m away and go to the backpackers kitchen for cereals and toast DIY style purchased by the Guide. Luckily Day 3&4 were at proper motels with breakfast provided. As for the tours, expect lots of trekking. Mostly are visits to national parks and lakes to behold nature, floral and fauna. Also went for the optional Gordon River Cruise. Nothing spectacular to me but lunch was good. And everyday, one has to remember to pack their own lunch from the daily supermarket stops. Dinners were at own choice at nearby restaurants near the motels or cook your own at backpackers kitchen. Certainly not my type of holiday tours and NOT value for the money paid.

Everything was perfect. We had a nice group of 24 people and everything went smoothly. The attractions were great. The guide knew a lot about the area. We had a perfect combination of mountains, wildlife and beach experience. The hostels were okay too. Bring warm clothes, it gets quite cold in Tassie.
The only thing I didn’t enjoy much was The Gordon River Cruise. It was a rainy day and we had to choose either to walk in the rain the whole day or to pay extra for a boat cruise. Maybe it’s beautiful on on sunny day, but this wasn’t worth to pay any money.

I can’t speak highly enough of this Under Down Under tour, and our guides Tim and Ian. I originally booked the tour because I was unable to hire a car, as it seemed to cover many of the sites that I had planned to visit. I ended up getting so much more, as our guides took us to places of which I was not previously aware, and they explained so much about what I was looking at, that I would not have known had I been driving about by myself.
We were in a group of 18, of mixed ages and nationalities, and that enriched the experience even more for me, as I would have been a solo traveller. The highlights were the amazing National Parks ( The Russell and Nelson Falls, Lake St Clair, Cradle Mountain,the Gordon River, The Freycinet National Park, The Bay of Fires and the food (fresh oysters, amazing ice cream). Accommodation was in backpackers’ hostels, and we bought our own food, so don’t expect five star hotels. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would probably choose to do a tour again in preference to travelling on my own.

There were 24 of us on a bus pulling a trailer with everyone’s luggage. We started with Wombat. Who was very knowledgeabl,. he picked everyone up on time. Our group was a mixture of mostly young singles from all around the world traveling solo. Six of us were over 50 and the youngsters kept us young. We had a ball over the 5 days stopping at beaches, overlooks, waterfalls, farms, parks and waterfronts. We seldom drove more than one hour between stops. The 2nd day Justin replaced Wombat and the real fun began. We laughed, learned and sang our way down the highway seeing wallabys, wombats and birds, stopping and hiking at all these cool places we likely would never have stopped at on our own. Justin made the trip fun, exciting and educational. We paid a bit extra to stay at nice motels while most stayed at hostels. We became a family for a few days and have some new friends and lasting great memories. Never knew Tasmania until this trip. Highly recommend!

Great trip through the beautiful highways and byways of Tasmania. We traversed the island on an anti-clockwise route and visited beaches, cliffs, rainforests, lakes, rivers and waterfalls, including in national parks.
We were active every day, walking , climbing, cruising, swimming and, in Strahan, attending Australia‘a longest-running play. All fitness levels were accommodated by the range of activities available at the different locations.
Our guide, Keygan, was excellent. – knowledgeable, informative, encouraging, entertaining, accommodating, organised and good fun. He worked very well with our mixed group.
In summary, a great way to experience the wonders of Tasmania in good company.
