Itinerary

  1. Hobart Zoo & Aquarium

    1 h 30 min Admission included

    Take a wild turn as you head into the beautiful natural bushland to visit the Hobart Zoo (Tasmania Zoo). This sanctuary is dedicated to the preservation and display of Australia’s extraordinary native fauna.

    The absolute highlight of this stop is coming face-to-face with the legendary Tasmanian Devil during their lively afternoon feeding presentations. Walk among free-roaming kangaroos and wallabies, hand-feed these gentle creatures, and meet resident wombats, koalas, and a dazzling array of colorful native birds.

  2. Salamanca Square

    one hour

    Salamanca Place, framed by rows of magnificent, 1830s Georgian sandstone warehouses, this vibrant precinct perfectly captures Hobart’s maritime and colonial history.

    Stroll beneath the historic facades, browse through boutique artisan galleries, and enjoy a premium lunch at one of the many award-winning local cafes or bistros. Feel the gentle sea breeze off the harbour as you relax in the cultural hub where old-world charm meets modern Tasmanian culinary excellence.

  3. Museum of Old and New Art (Mona)

    2 hours Admission included

    Let's go to MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) in the afternoon. Cut deep into the ancient sandstone cliffs along the Derwent River, this privately owned museum is an architectural masterpiece and a global cultural phenomenon. Step inside and descend the grand spiral staircase into a subterranean labyrinth filled with thought-provoking contemporary art, ancient antiquities, and immersive, rebellious installations. Using MONA’s interactive hand-held guide, "The O," explore the provocative galleries at your own pace, soaking in an artistic experience unlike any other on earth.

  4. Mount Wellington

    one hour

    Save the most dramatic view for last as your vehicle begins the winding ascent through temperate rainforests and sub-alpine glacial rock formations up to the rugged peak of Mt Wellington (kunanyi). Towering 1,271 meters directly above the city, the summit offers an unmatched, panoramic bird’s-eye view of the entire Hobart cityscape, the labyrinth of waterways making up the Derwent River, and the endless expanse of the Southern Ocean. Standing on the wind-swept observation decks in the crisp, alpine air provides the ultimate visual crescendo to your day—the perfect, awe-inspiring photo opportunity to conclude your Tasmanian journey before you make a comfortable descent back to your city drop-off point.
