About this tour

A guided 6–8 hour sweep of Hobart's essentials, starting with the sweeping views from kunanyi (Mt Wellington) at 1272m, then the Saturday Salamanca Market if timing aligns. You'll loop through the city's key landmarks, detour into Coal River Valley's vineyards and a renowned cheese maker, pause in the colonial town of Richmond for lunch on your own coin, and finish at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary where you can handle kangaroos and spot Tasmanian Devils. Driver commentary throughout; all-weather operation.

Highlights

  • Panorama from kunanyi's 1272m summit across Hobart and surrounds
  • Salamanca Market's Saturday stalls (if available that day)
  • Coal River Valley wineries and Wicked Cheese tasting stop
  • Richmond's convict-era streetscape and independent cafés
  • Close encounters with native marsupials at Bonorong

What to expect

You'll be picked up early and driven through central Hobart's landmarks—Parliament House, Battery Point, the Tasman Bridge, Constitution Dock—with live guide narration. Then ascend Mt Wellington on a clear day for unobstructed views; if cloud or snow blocks the peak, you'll visit Rosny Lookout or Mt Nelson instead. The Coal River Valley leg includes time to browse cheese and wine. Richmond is your lunch break (bring funds). Bonorong finishes the day with hands-on wildlife interaction—expect to pat wallabies and view devils in their enclosure. The pace is steady rather than rushed.

Good to know

Lunch and drinks cost extra; plan accordingly for Richmond. Salamanca Market runs Saturdays only. Bonorong entry is separate. Dress for changeable weather; the tour runs rain or shine. Prams are welcome. Allow time before your booked start for driver pickup.
