About this tour
This eight-hour Tasmanian day tour pairs two contrasting landmarks: Mt Field National Park's towering eucalypts, cool temperate rainforest and cascading falls, followed by MONA—the Southern Hemisphere's largest independent art institution housing ancient through contemporary works. You'll move between wild landscape and curated galleries, making it ideal for those wanting both dirt under their boots and gallery floors beneath their feet. An air-conditioned vehicle and informed guide handle transport between sites.
Highlights
- Walk amongst Tasmania's tallest eucalyptus trees in old-growth forest
- Explore layered rainforest and multiple waterfall pools
- Tour MONA's eclectic collection across three levels
- Guided commentary on both natural and art history
- Suitable for varying fitness levels and ages
What to expect
Your morning heads into Mt Field National Park where you'll encounter massive stringybarks, shaded fern gullies and water features ranging from gentle to dramatic. The rainforest canopy filters light and keeps things cool even in summer. After lunch (bring your own), you'll shift gears at MONA, where the museum's underground galleries sprawl across converted quarry space. Exhibits span antiquities to provocative installations, and pacing is entirely yours. The venue rewards slow looking. Total driving is roughly two hours, broken across the day.
Good to know
Pack lunch and water—nothing's included. National park entry ($22.35) and Salmon Ponds admission ($10) are separate. Wear sturdy shoes for forest walking. Public transport links exist nearby if you prefer not to drive. Infants travel free on laps.
