Shore Excursion-Hobart Wanderer

About this tour

This 5–6 hour shore excursion covers Hobart's essentials in a single loop: climb Mt. Wellington by vehicle for sweeping vistas across the city and coast, wander through heritage precincts with commentary on local landmarks, detour through cool-climate farmland and vineyards toward the colonial village of Richmond, then finish at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary to encounter Tasmanian devils, wombats, and native birds up close. Small groups and a local guide keep things flexible and personal.

Highlights

• Mt. Wellington drive with 360° views of Hobart and coastline
• Colonial Richmond village and surrounding wine country
• Tasmanian wildlife encounters at Bonorong Sanctuary
• Guided tour of Hobart's heritage landmarks and architecture
• Flexible itinerary, small-group pace

What to expect

You'll start in central Hobart, then climb Mt. Wellington by coach for panoramic photos and orientation. The guide points out significant buildings and their histories as you loop through the city streets. The route then heads inland through rolling farmland and vineyard country—characteristic cool-climate Tasmanian landscape—before arriving at Richmond, a quiet 19th-century settlement worth a short stroll. The final leg brings you to Bonorong, where you'll see native wildlife in open paddock settings. Bring a camera; light walking shoes help.

Good to know

Lunch is not included; pack snacks or eat in Richmond or Hobart beforehand. Wine and drinks are available for purchase but not provided. The itinerary adjusts based on group preference. Infants can sit on laps or use hired specialist seats. Suitable for all fitness levels since most is by coach.
