Reviews of Small Group tours to Tasmania
- Explorer Six - 6 Day Tour of Tasmania
The tour was very good, we got to see tons of really great scenery and we did lots of walks. My only complaint was that it felt like we were on the road 75% of the time. I realize the driving is inevitable considering the distance between sights, but I would have liked to have done more small activities in one place to break up the driving a bit. The provided breakfasts were basic but adequate. Having lunch provided would have been nice, but there were always lots of options for buying food. The hostel accommodations were typical hostels, some better than others. All were clean, though the toilets were not always the best. Overall, would recommend. Consider bringing a second pair of shoes as mine got soaked each walk and never really dried properly.
Amazing trip. Paul and Sam were amazing guides. The food and accommodation standard exceeded all expectations. if you have had this on your bucket list, this trip is the perfect chance to tick off this amazing part of Australia on the perfect tour. Our group of four were so blessed with the two best guides and five straight days of sunshine….for the whole trip. So lucky!
Trek the Cradle Mountain Overland Track
- 4 Day Wild Tasmania Tour
Absolutely brilliant tour - highly recommend. Owned and operated by Trent, very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide who took care of everyone. All the highlights of Tasmania are covered with plenty of time at each stop. A lot of walking and/or hiking every day which is what you need to do in Tasmania as the nature is stunning. Great accommodation options, you can upgrade to private if you want to.
What our customers ask about Tasmania Small Group Tours
What is the best season for small group tours in Tasmania's Country Region?
Tasmania's spring (September-November) and autumn (March-May) provide the most reliable conditions for small group tours. The moderate temperatures are ideal for outdoor activities at Cradle Mountain and water activities in Freycinet National Park. The Panorama Hotel in St Helens serves as a convenient base for Bay of Fires explorations during these months. Winter (June-August) sees fewer tourists and offers unique experiences while summer (December-February) is popular for coastal activities but requires early bookings especially at places like Freycinet Lodge.
What type of accommodation can you expect on a small group tour in Tasmania's Country Region?
Accommodations on Tasmania's small group tours range from heritage properties to modern boutique hotels. Guests often stay at the historic Hadleys Orient Hotel in Hobart or the coastal Panorama Hotel in St Helens. Nature-focused properties like Freycinet Lodge and Cradle Mountain Hotel put visitors close to national parks. The Hotel Verge in Launceston offers a contemporary stay with easy access to the Tamar Valley. Each property is selected for its location near key attractions and ability to host intimate groups comfortably.
How much interaction is there with local wildlife on small group tours?
The smaller group size creates better conditions for wildlife viewing in Tasmania's natural habitats. Visitors regularly spot wombats at Cradle Mountain observe Tasmanian devils at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and encounter wallabies in Freycinet National Park. A TourRadar traveler shared: "our small group could quietly observe platypus at Mount Field National Park without disturbing them - something impossible with larger groups."
How does dining work on small group tours in Tasmania?
Food experiences on Tasmania's small group tours combine scheduled group meals with independent dining opportunities. Groups often enjoy dinner at intimate venues like the Tannin Restaurant in Corinna or visit local wineries and distilleries for tastings. A TourRadar traveler noted: "being a small group meant we could dine at local hidden gems that couldn't accommodate larger tours giving us a more authentic Tasmanian culinary experience."
How does transportation work for small group tours in Tasmania?
Transportation typically involves modern mini-coaches designed for small group comfort and access to remote locations. Wild Tasmania Tours uses 13-passenger vehicles while Under Down Under Tours operates mini-coaches carrying up to 24 guests. According to TourRadar travelers: "the smaller vehicle meant we could access hidden spots like Montezuma Falls and remote beaches at Freycinet that bigger tours can't reach." This setup allows for frequent stops and route flexibility.
How flexible are the itineraries on small group tours in Tasmania?
Small groups can adapt their schedules based on weather and group preferences. When staying at locations like Anabels of Scottsdale guides can adjust departure times or switch activities as needed. Tours along the East Coast can choose between stops at Bicheno Swansea or Coles Bay. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The smaller group size meant we could be spontaneous and take advantage of perfect weather conditions for hiking or photography."
