About this tour
Explore Tasmania's Mt. Field National Park on this full-day excursion combining waterfall walks, old-growth rainforest and native wildlife encounters. Your guide drives you through the park's layered ecosystem, starting with the thundering cascade of Russel Falls before venturing deeper into fern gullies and eucalypt forests. Stop at a wildlife sanctuary to spot Tasmanian devils, quokkas and other endemic species up close. Settle in for lunch—either a packed meal under the trees or a restaurant experience at the Agrarian Kitchen (Friday–Sunday only).

What to expect
You'll spend most of the day outdoors on marked walking trails of varying difficulty, though all are manageable for mixed fitness levels. The rainforest walks are cool and damp underfoot; expect moss-covered paths and bridge crossings. Russel Falls is a steady 10–15 minute stroll to the viewing platform. Wildlife viewing happens in a dedicated sanctuary where you'll encounter animals in semi-natural settings. The day builds in quiet moments—morning tea stops, lunch breaks—so it's not relentless hiking. Weather in Tasmania is changeable; bring layers and a light rain jacket.
Good to know
Prams and stroller-friendly paths are available for families with infants. Wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip; trails can be slippery after rain. The Agrarian Kitchen lunch option requires advance notice and only operates Friday to Sunday. Public buses serve the area if you prefer independent travel.
