Simply magical! - Russell Falls has three tiers of water falling majestically over the rocks. Simply beautiful. The walk then to the Tall Trees, Horseshoe Falls and the Lady Baron Falls was out of this world. The temperate rainforest was lovely to be surrounded by; such a peaceful and amazing place. Truely lucky . The Russell Falls has easy access; the others take more effort.

Wet walk through the ferns. - I went to Mount Field National Park with family and friends. It rained the whole time we were there, so we had to watch our step on our walk ways. Mount Field is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World heritage Area and home to some of the world’s tallest eucalypt forests, as well as a unique array of alpine vegetation. It is one of Tasmania’s oldest national parks and is also one of its most diverse. There are spectacular with waterfalls and a walk-through towering tree ferns and giant eucalypts. The waterfall was the main attraction at the park. There are massive downed moss-covered trees and ferns. Great trip, great scenery.

Beautiful Day at Mt Field - We had a great day visiting Mt Field National Park with Dave. Dave was prompt, informative, and polite. The correspondence with the company prior to the tour was good and prompt. We made stops at the Salmon Ponds for morning tea and a raspberry farm for ice cream on the way back in the afternoon. This was a nice way to break up a long ride. The park was beautiful, especially Russell Falls. We had great weather and also enjoyed the scenery during the drive.

Worth the ride - Our guide/driver Dave did a wonderful job. Even dropped us off closer to our cruise pier as we were running a bit close to sailing time. The Tall Trees were impressive and the Russell falls were an incredible delight with only a 15 min walk from bus.

Beautiful nature and a Great Walk! - Seeing the tall swamp gum tress was simply incredible. The salmon ponds and Russel falls was the cherry on top. Dave was a great guide and would highly recommend this excursion if you have the time!
