Big Tree Hunting in Mt Field National Park
At Tours around Tasmania we love working with world-class experts. This tour is so much more than a walk in the woods, this ecology experience will immerse you in the fascinating forests of Tasmania. Learn of the science and magic of our ancient forests with your knowledgeable botanist as he shares his passion and years of experience as we wander through Mount Field National Park.
We could venture into hidden valleys surrounded by craggy mountains or stroll to the famous Russell Falls. We take a closer look at what lies beneath some of the oldest, gnarliest, and tallest trees as we discover the plants and fungi of the ancient rainforest lineages and countless animal species. The journey is half the fun with panoramic views of the coastline, harbour, or mountains as we travel to the forested corners of this amazing island.
