Fresh air, beautiful scenery, and so much to learn!
Our guide was Phil and he was so lovely. We came at a very slow season in winter, so our group was just my husband and I, plus a solo traveler. Despite the small group, Phil still put a dedicated effort into our tour of the Salmon Ponds, the tall trees walk, and the waterfalls hike. Throughout the drive, he told history of Tasmania, the agriculture, the local area, etc. Our favorite though was how Phil peppered in little anecdotes of growing up in these places and fun memories he had here. It added so much life to the tour. We stopped for morning tea and a pancake, viewed the ponds, saw a platypus in the river! When we stopped in New Norfolk we had a few minutes to buy lunch for later in the day and there were many choices. The forest was beautiful. We saw a variety of fungi and some very tall trees, plus stunning waterfalls. The hikes are quite pleasant and easy, though consider boots due to mud. I would highly recommend this tour for the beautiful nature but also the care of the company to make a pleasant day trip experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for a fabulous review! Your detailed feedback is very important to us and very much appreciated. It was lovely to hear your comments about Phil also. We will enjoy sharing your review with him. Phil has been a highly valued member of our driver guide team for many years, and I am sure he would love the opportunity to tour with you again in the future.

Great spot not far from Hobart
We stayed in the caravan park - such value for money, good facilities and nice forest sites in the eucalypts. Did the three falls walk - well graded, interesting scenery and great waterfalls, especially Russell Falls. The visitors centre was really well presented with helpful staff and lots of information for walkers. We liked the emphasis on looking after the environment.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the three‑falls walk and the stunning scenery — Mt Field truly is an amazing place. It’s great to know you found the visitors centre helpful and appreciated the focus on caring for the environment. We’re glad you had such a positive visit and hope to welcome you back to the area again.

Beautiful Mt Field National Park
Rainforests! Did a day trip with Experience Tasmania Gray Line Day Tours via bus to Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls. Our driver, Sean, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The rainforests in the national park are beautiful and Russell Falls is spectacular. There’s a lot of walking but it was a tremendous day. The most beautiful scenery you can imagine.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your day exploring Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls — it truly is one of Tasmania’s most breathtaking regions. It’s wonderful to know Sean helped make the journey even more memorable with his knowledge and friendly approach. The rainforest walks and the falls are special places, and we’re glad you found the scenery as spectacular as we do. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future.

Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart cost?
+
Prices start at $136 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart take?
+
Plan for about 7.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.
Is Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 55 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 7.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hobart?
+
On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Day Tour in Mt. Field, Mt. Wellington, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Richmond. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hobart?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hobart?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart?
+
Included: Local guide; On-board WiFi; Salmon Ponds; Morning Tea; and Entry to Mt Field National Park. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 28 listed pickup locations in and around Hobart. Be ready about 40 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls from Hobart offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
