The Best of Hobart in
One Unforgettable Day
Depart
Start Your Day With a Warm Local Welcome
Your guide will collect you from your hotel and begin the day with a drive through Hobart’s historic waterfront precinct.
You’ll pass Constitution Dock, Salamanca Place, and working harbour scenes that frame the city’s maritime story — a fitting introduction to what lies ahead.
Discover
See the Highlights Through Local Eyes
Mt Wellington (Kunanyi) Summit
Ascend through changing landscapes — from eucalyptus forest to alpine rock — as you reach the summit of kunanyi / Mt Wellington. From 1,271 metres above the city, the panoramic views stretch across the Derwent River, Bruny Island, and Tasmania’s southern coastline.
Optional short walk to alpine lookout platforms.
Battery Point Heritage Walk
Stroll the cobbled lanes of this charming Georgian neighbourhood, where storybook cottages and quiet gardens reveal Hobart’s colonial past. Your guide brings it to life with stories of sailors, merchants, and early settlers.
Stop for a coffee if the moment feels right.
Salamanca Place
On Saturdays, explore the colourful Salamanca Market, Tasmania’s most iconic open-air experience — filled with artisan stalls, live music, and local flavours. On other days, wander through galleries, boutique shops, or enjoy a moment under the historic arches with a coffee or light snack.
MONA (Museum of Old and New Art)
Step into the world-famous MONA, part subterranean temple, part sensory playground. Known for its provocative contemporary art, bold architecture, and unique Tasmanian energy, this is more than a museum — it’s an experience.
Entry is included, and you can choose to arrive or return via the ferry if preferred.
Taste
Taste Tasmania at Your Own Pace
Lunch Stop
When you’re ready, your guide will help you choose the perfect lunch spot, perhaps a fresh seafood bistro by the water, a hidden café in Battery Point, or a vineyard-style eatery overlooking the Derwent. (Lunch at own expense; reservations will be arranged.)
Local Tastings
To round out the afternoon, we’ll visit one of Hobart’s boutique producers for a relaxed tasting.
Options include:
Lark Distillery or Hobart Whisky for rich Tasmanian spirits
Shene Estate for history-rich gin and whisky
Or a scenic stop at Derwent Estate Wines for cool-climate varietals
Tastings are paid for on the day — tailored to your preferences and timing.
Return
Unwind As the Day Comes to a Close
As the sun begins to dip, enjoy a leisurely return drive along the Hobart waterfront. There’s time to pause for a photo, a relaxed drink, or simply to soak up the atmosphere of this riverside capital.
Your guide can recommend a perfect dinner spot or return you directly to your accommodation or ship, leaving you with a full heart and a true sense of place.
From the mountain’s edge to the museum’s depths, this full-day Hobart journey offers both the city’s soul and its scenery personal, thoughtful, and entirely your own.
