Our tour of Mt Field was so beautiful and Ben provided great insights on the fauna and animals. We saw two waterfalls and the elusive platypus. Ben was flexible with our desired stops and we had a great day.

You found me……Hello adventurers, my name is Benjamin. First and foremost, I am a father of three young boys, Louie, William and George and they love adventuring too. Family is everything to me. Tourism, outdoor recreation and building has been my career path here in beautiful Tasmania and around the world. My passions are adventures with family, sharing and introducing Tasmania to friends and visitors. We are lucky to have such diversity of nature landscapes, great hospitality, creative and passionate locals. The way I deliver a tour is perfect for couples and small groups/families. This allows us to intimately discover in-depth discussions, storytelling and capture specific needs and design elements you may have. My goal is to send my guests away inspired, refreshed with lifelong memories and on many occasions leaving with a new Tasmanian friend. I strive for continuous learning in the industry I love and connecting visitors to place and our history. But most importantly, lets have a great day together. With humor, laughter and appreciation of company and surroundings. Credentials . BA in Recreation Management, Tourism and Marketing . Certificate in Outdoor Recreation and Guiding . Licences: Heavy vehicle, medium rigid, public passenger ancillary Working with Vulnerable people Workplace and remote first aid . Certificate in teaching English to foreign language students . Extensive international travel and knowledge of multicultural needs . An extensive network within the tourism industry I hope to see you soon I have just bought a 2019 Toyota Hiace communter GL model, with room for 11 guests comfortably. I also drive (3 guests comfortably), a Toyota Hi Lux dual cab ute. However, it maybe a problem for those guests with mobility problems, getting in and out.

We had a great day with Ben. He packed a lot into a short stay for us including a visit to beautiful Mt. Field national park, a wildlife sanctuary, and a city tour of Hobart. The literal high point was a trip to the top of Mt. Wellington with breathtaking views of the city and harbor. Due to Ben’s deep knowledge and love for Tasmania, the day was filled with interesting and informative conversation. Thanks for a memorable day Ben!!!
Peter T.United States
Ben Andrews led a great tour. Prompt pick-up at the Port of Hobart and Russell Falls before heading to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and return to Hobart port in time for a beer at Hobart Brewing! Ben is a great guy, full of interesting stories and lots of information about his home. Highly recommended.
Harvey F.United States
Ben is an outstanding guide. He is very friendly and very knowledgeable about many aspects of historical and present day Tasmania and the Hobart area. He was very flexible about tailoring our itinerary to conform with our time constraints as well as with my wife’s disability requirements. We give him our highest recommendation. Harvey F

Ben was amazing he picked us ( four adults) up at the airport, we had ton's of luggage and he easly accommodated us. We had booked a two day personalized tour. Ben was not only a delight, but fun to be with. He is super knowledgable of the area and his information was interesting. He was always flexable with our wishes. He was always on time when meeting us. 5 gold stars!! We especilally enjoyed, "Every Man and His Dog" Winery and chocolate company.
Jennifer B.United States
Ben is a fantastic guide. Excellent light to moderate trekking on well groomed trails with abundant wildlife and truly amazing trees and waterfalls. Bonorong was neat with lots of opportunity to appropriately interact with the species there and learn about wildlife rescue efforts. Great food stops along the way and no lack of photo opportunities. Ben knows tons of plant and animal species and is great at spotting both. Don't hesitate, Ben is the tour guide you're seeking, book today.
