Memorable Tasmania Experience with Sonia
We had a wonderful 1.5 days with Sonia doing the Peaks, Falls & Furry and Wander Hobart Walking Tour. Sonia is incredibly knowledgeable about the history, local culture, parks and wildlife and shared so many interesting insights. Her fascinating stories greatly enriched our trip and deepened our appreciation of Tassie. She also prepared a lovely picnic with fresh local produce and took beautiful photos for us. Thanks to her sharp eyes, we even had a close encounter with an echidna — such a special moment! Sonia has a warm and delightful personality, and the whole experience was truly memorable. Highly recommended — we will definitely ask for Sonia again on our next visit.

5 Stars!
We had the most incredible day exploring Tasmania with our guide, Penny! From the lush beauty of Mount Field National Park to the breathtaking views atop Mount Wellington, every moment was thoughtfully planned and perfectly paced. Penny’s knowledge of the area, history, and wildlife made each stop so much more meaningful. The waterfalls at Mount Field were stunning, and she made sure we experienced the best trails without ever feeling rushed. The picnic she prepared was absolutely wonderful — such a special touch and a highlight of the day! Visiting Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary was unforgettable. Penny helped us make the most of our time there, sharing insights and making sure we had amazing up-close experiences. Penny is warm, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. If you’re visiting Tasmania and want a day that feels effortless, personal, and truly memorable — ask for Penny. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Best Day Ever!
Bob and I had a wonderful day with Daniel. He was friendly, personable, knowledgeable and focused on what we were interested in seeing and doing. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. Daniel went out of his way to take us to try to find a platypus. We got lucky, we saw two of them. My husband is a birder and Daniel tuned into finding birds for him to see. I can't express how great this tour is. It was one of the best things we did on our entire trip to Australia. I highly recommend taking this tour while staying in Hobart.

Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent cost?
+
Prices start at $743 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 Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent?
+
Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent 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 Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent?
+

Does Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 58 listed pickup locations in and around Hobart. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Peaks, Falls & Furry Locals: Mt. Field & the Derwent offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
