About this tour

This 5–6 hour shore excursion covers Hobart's highlights in a single outing: city landmarks, the sweeping vistas from Mt Wellington, historic Richmond village, and Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary's native fauna. Travels through Tasmania's wine country and farmland with a knowledgeable local guide in an intimate group setting. Ideal for cruise passengers wanting to pack multiple experiences into a brief port stop without the rushed feel of a coach tour.

Highlights

  • Mt Wellington summit drive with 360-degree Hobart views
  • Guided walk through Hobart's heritage architecture and landmarks
  • Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary—see Tasmanian devils, wombats, koalas
  • Richmond: colonial-era sandstone town among cool-climate vineyards
  • Small group with flexible routing and local commentary

What to expect

You'll start in central Hobart, stopping at key monuments while your guide shares their backstory. Then drive uphill to Mt Wellington's summit—no strenuous walking required—where the panorama stretches across the city, River Derwent, and distant peaks. The route loops south through rural Tasmania's vineyard belt to reach Richmond, a charming heritage pocket with Georgian buildings worth a short stroll. Final stop is Bonorong, where you encounter Tasmanian wildlife in open enclosures: devils, quokkas, Tasmanian tigers in living exhibits rather than behind thick glass.

Good to know

Infants may sit on laps or use specialised seats (book ahead). The itinerary adapts based on group needs. Service animals welcome. Casual fitness level required—mostly vehicle-based with short walks.
