About this activity

Tasmania rewards those who explore it with a local. That is exactly what this service delivers. An expert local guide, comfortable private transport, and a full day built around you. No fixed itinerary, no coach, no compromise. Wildlife enthusiast, food lover, photographer, history buff, or a group chasing something off the beaten track, your guide designs the day around your priorities.

Ben Andrews and his team have deep roots in Tasmania and a local network that opens doors most visitors never find. Boutique wineries, distilleries, studio visits, pottery and gin-making workshops, birdwatching in pristine reserves, or the best lunch spots the guidebooks have not caught up with yet.

Regions and experiences include the Huon Valley, Tasman Peninsula, Mt Field National Park, kunanyi/Mt Wellington, MONA, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Coal River Valley, Maria Island, Freycinet, and the far south. Share your bucket list and your guide will help you tick it off.
