We had fantastic trip to Bruny Island with Tassie Tours!!

The tour was smoothly run with our highly knowledgeable guide Jodi! She was an absolute legend! We will recommend this tour to our friends back in Adelaide and we can't wait to visit and join another tour in the future!

Tassie Tours! Just awesome full stop.

Arrived in the wonderful city of Hobart yesterday on a cruise. Wanted to travel to Port Arthur and check it out, stepped off the ship and found this company. Super simple, great advice even gave a Veteran Discount. Our tour guide “Tilly” was amazing we went to other great places to and from Port Arthur. Thanks to Tilly, we are definitely inspired to come back in the near future with the camper and travel around Tasmanian. Wonderful place, down to earth. 100% recommend Tassie Tours.

This was one of the highlights of our three week vacation

Our host, Nathan was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We got beautiful pictures of some phenomenal places. The beaches are spectacular, the rain forrest exquisite. We stopped for oysters and they were fresh and some of the best I've ever had. You won't be disappointed .

Hobart offers a refreshing change from your average city. The air feels fresher, restaurants get their produce from farms on the city fringe, and you can explore mountains and modern art museums on the same day. After uncovering Hobart‘s thriving foodie scene, venture beyond the city to discover unique creatures and habitats in the Tarkine Region, explore  Freycinet's pink peaks  or try to spot Tasmanian devils at  Cradle Mountain National Park .

Tours to Hobart

Travel along the picturesque coastline of Freycinet National Park, hike the rugged clifftops of Maria Island or sample some of the north’s finest wares along the Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail before winding up in Hobart. Top your trip off with a few extra days in Hobart to explore the waterfront Salamanca market, feast on fresh seafood and admire the city's elegant architecture.

Let's create an exclusive trip for your group.

Hobart travel FAQs

How do i get to hobart.

Hobart Airport is located 10 miles east of the city center. A SkyBus service travels to/from the city, but it costs about the same (or sometimes less) to catch a taxi or an Uber.

Car rental desks are available at the airport and many companies also have an office in town. If you need a hire car, book early as prices rise substantially during peak travel periods when hire cars are in high demand.

How do I get around Hobart?

Most places in Hobart are within easy walking distance. There are no trains, trams or public ferries but there are buses. If possible, you might like to avoid traveling around using public transport on Sundays as it can get tricky due to the reduced timetable. If you need a hire car, book early as prices rise substantially during peak travel periods when hire cars are in high demand.

When is the best time to visit Hobart?

Hobart, and Tassie in general, is a year-round destination. There's a buzz in summer (December-February) with  alfresco diners  along the waterfront, warm weather for exploring the Botanic Gardens and walking trails around Hobart, and heaps of festivals and events.

Spring (September-November) and fall (March-May) are great times to go walking thanks to seasonal colors throughout Hobart and southern Tasmania, while winter is perfect if you love crisp winter days and rugging up in cozy pubs around a log fire.

What should I pack for Hobart?

In short, pretty much everything. Bring clothes you can layer plus a jumper or jacket, wet weather gear, sunscreen, a hat and a beanie. And don't be surprised if you end up wearing all these things on the same day!

What should I wear in Hobart?

Hobart is a fairly casual place although locals do tend to dress up if they are 'hitting the town' at night. Smart casual is the norm at restaurants in Hobart, aside from the signature 'date night' ones like Landscape Restaurant & Grill where people tend to dress up more. 

What's the internet access like in Hobart?

Hobart is the capital of Tasmania so there is good wi-fi coverage in town and most of the surrounding area. 

What are some of Hobart's most popular festivals?

Hobart is a small but vibrant city with a busy festival and event calendar. Some of the most popular festivals in Hobart include:

• Mona Foma - January
• Dark Mofo - June
• Festival of Voices - July
• Taste of Tasmania - December/January

Can I use my cell phone in Hobart?

Hobart is the capital of Tasmania so there is good cell coverage in town and most of the surrounding area. 

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Hobart is a wonderful little city in which to spend a couple of days or more.

All too often I hear the phrase, “ Everything is on your doorstep ” but when it comes to Hobart it is no exaggeration!

With some of the oldest colonial history in Australia you will fall in love with its sandstone elegance, right by the water’s edge.

Foodies won’t know where to look between the vibrant markets, buzzing restaurant and cafe scene, and all the award-winning distillers and brewers within easy walking distance.

And of course, how could you ignore the stunning natural beauty of the harbour and Mt Wellington as the backdrop?

Hobart Day-Trip Planner (eBook)

Much of Hobart is easily accessible by foot, but if you’d like to dig deeper into Hobart’s fascinating history under the guidance of a local expert then a tour is a fantastic option!

In this guide I show you 17 different tour options covering all sorts of interests. But if I had to choose a top four then this is what I recommend:

• FREE Hobart Walking Tour – The ideal introduction to Hobart ( more )
• Hop-on Hop-off Bus + kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer – The best Hobart sightseeing tour that covers the lot, quickly and easily ( more )
• Cascades Female Factory Tour – A touching insight into the story behind Tasmania’s female convicts ( more )
• MONA Museum + Moorilla Winery Tour – The world’s best and most bizarre modern art museum ( more )

Hobart Sights and History Tours

Food and Drink Tours

Museum tours, hobart tours, sights and history, #1 - 'hop-on hop-off' red decker bus.

One of the best ways to get your bearings in a new city is to jump on a ‘Hop-on Hop-off’ bus service and soak up the 360° views from the open-top upper deck.

Hobart’s Red Decker bus route extends as far as the Royal Botanic Gardens in the north, across to Cascade Brewery, and down to Wrest Point Casino. In between are all the best attractions in Hobart, including Salamanca Market and the waterfront, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG), and the Hobart Convict Penitentiary.    

The full loop takes around 90 minutes, and your ticket allows you to jump off wherever you like, and then jump back on when you feel like moving on to the next point of interest.

Red Decker are family owned and operated and they’ve been one of the best Hobart Tasmania tours for more than 20 years now!

Cost : $35+ per person (24hr ticket) – OR – $49.50 (48hr ticket)

🔥 HOT TIP – Take the bus!

• If you don’t have a car, or you’re nervous about driving up to the summit of kunanyi/Mt Wellington, Red Decker also operate the kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus .
• Cost: $65+ per person (includes 48-hr Hobart Hop-on Hop-off ticket as well!)
• Click Here to book this ticket.

#2 - Horse Drawn Carriage 'Waterfront Jaunt'

Once upon a time a horse drawn carriage was the only way to travel around Hobart 😀

Step back to ye olde days on this 30-minute ‘Waterfront Jaunt’ and listen to the many fascinating stories from your driver, Steve, that make Hobart such a unique little city.

They are great with children, and you can even say g’day to their gorgeous horses! Don’t worry if it’s winter, there’s plenty of blankets to keep you warm and cosy while you soak up the sights.

Cost : $50+ per person (varies with booking numbers)

#3 - Hobart Convict Penitentiary Ghost Tour - OR - Gallows Walk

The Hobart Penitentiary has a sad history. Tasmania’s first colonial arrivals were mostly convicts, and as the other prisons on the island filled to overflowing ‘the Tench’ took them in.

Conditions were horrible, with many kept in solitary confinement – under the floor of the chapel, can you believe?!

A tour of the site is one of the most eye-opening experiences in Hobart. Choose between the ‘Pandemonium’, ‘Penitentiary Ghost Tour’ or the ‘Gallows Walk’ to see it with your own eyes.

Warning : These tours contain sensitive material that may not be suitable for some children. If you’re unsure, please get in touch with the Penitentiary.

Cost : $25+ per person

More : Hobart Convict Penitentiary

#4 - Cascades Female Factory Heritage Site Tour

Houses and parks now line the banks of Hobart Rivulet, but back in the 1800s the Cascades Female Factory site was quite a distance from Hobart – perfect for keeping the women there as far as possible from the corrupting influence of the male convicts!

The women were also convicts, and this UNESCO World Heritage site provides visitors with a unique insight into their lives and struggles as they sought to serve their time and reintegrate into the community. 

I strongly recommend the ‘ Heritage Tour + Her Story ‘ ticket (from $35pp) for the immersive and utterly compelling storytelling!

Children receive a free ‘Factory Tales’ activity book that will have them searching high and low to fill in the blanks.

If you have the time you might like to walk to the site from central Hobart up the bubbling Hobart Rivulet. And after you’re done you can keep walking just a little bit further to Cascade Brewery where you can indulge in tastings of their entire range at the Brewhouse (see below for a tour option!).

Cost : $8 basic entry | $18+ for tours per person

More : Cascades Female Factory

#5 - Hobart Kayak Tour

Take to a kayak and get a very different perspective on Hobart! 

Roaring 40s Kayaking offer a few different tours, but I think their 2.5hr Hobart Kayak Tour is the best bang for your buck. 

The tour departs from historic Battery Point, taking you past craggy shores, tall wooden sailing ships, and into the mirror-flat waters of Sullivans Cove where you’ll relax with a lunch of delicious fish and ships from one of Hobart’s famous fish punts!

These tours aren’t just for adults either with younger paddlers (7 years or older) teamed up with either an adult or one of the guides so they too can hopefully spot Sammy the resident seal frolicking in the cool waters.

Cost : $95+ per person

#6 - Hobart Helicopter Tour

Hobart is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, but just wait until you see it from the skies!

A 15-minute helicopter tour of Hobart is the ultimate indulgence, and the perfect way to soak up its unique colonial character.

The oyster-rich waters of Barilla Bay, the sandstone elegance of Government House and nearby Botanic Gardens, the soaring Organ Pipes of Mt Wellington…this is one Hobart sightseeing tour you will never forget!

Cost : $145+ per person

#7 - Derwent River Harbour Cruise

You can’t miss the bright red boat of Hobart Historic Cruises cruising its way up and down the beautiful Derwent River. They have been a favourite with visitors for more than 30 years and you’ll love their motto of “ …first class service at affordable prices… “

1-hr morning and afternoon cruises are available, but if you’re interested in having a meal while taking in the views then I recommend booking either their 1.5hr ‘Lunch Cruise’ or 2-hr ‘Dinner cruise’ (including a free wine!).

Cost : $30.80+ per person (1-hr cruise) | $41.80+ (lunch cruise)

FREE Hobart Tours

#8 - free hobart walking tours.

A walking tour is a relaxed way of discovering the major sights of a new city, before deciding where you’d like to spend more time – and it’s even better when payment is totally optional!

Hobart Free Walking Tours run two different tours, both lasting 2 hours. The ‘ Intro to Hobart ‘ runs daily and takes you through historic Battery Point, Salamanca waterfront and central Hobart, while the spooky ‘ Hobart Ghost Tour ‘ runs roughly once a week (mostly Saturdays).

Don’t worry if you’ve never done one before. Simply book yourself a slot on their website and then enjoy the Hobart city tour. When it’s finished you tip your tour guide as much, or as little as you like based on how much you enjoyed the tour 😊 

It’s really easy and a great way of keeping your holiday expenses down!

Cost : FREE

More : Hobart Free Walking Tours

#9 - Botanical Gardens Self-Guided Walking Tour

The beautiful Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens are one of the city’s oldest and most popular attractions.

A network of lovely trails extend across the gardens, and there are plenty of grassy lawns where you can have a picnic or simply lay back and watch the boats on the Derwent River.

You’ll find the gardens on the northern side of Hobart CBD. – about 15 minutes walk, or you could take the Red Decker bus (see above). On arrival, stop by the Visitor Centre and ask about their self-guided walking tours!

More : Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens

#10 - Battery Point Sculpture Trail

If you visit Salamanca Market or the waterfont there’s a good chance you’ll see a giant ‘1833’ sculpture by the silos – this is the start of the Battery Point Sculpture Trail, one of the most interesting Hobart walking tours!

Celebrating the maritime history of the Battery Point district, the trail takes about an hour and showcases many old buildings, slipways and other points of interest. Allow another 30 minutes or more to return via Hampden Road and Arthur Circus – Hobart’s cutest little street! 

More : Battery Point Sculpture Trail

#11 - Urban Art Walls Trail

When does graffiti become art? When it is created by some of Tasmania’s best and up-and-coming artists!

Hobart’s alleyways and buildings are awash with colour, and this free walking trail takes you to all the best artworks where you can capture some incredible pics for  Instagram!

More : Urban Art Walls Trail

#12 - Hobart Cafe Culture

One of my favourite ways to learn about a city is through its food!

Hobart’s cafe and coffee scene has exploded in recent years and whether you’re in historic Salamanca, cosmopolitan North Hobart (NoHo) or sunny Sandy Bay your options are phenomenal. 

The 3-hr Hobart Cafe Culture tour is a lot of fun and you’re guaranteed to not only get a good feed – included tastings vary with the seasons – but to also say g’day to the locals and get a feel for daily life in Hobart. 

It’s the perfect way to start your day!

Cost : $65+ per person

#13 - Mamma Rosa's MastaPasta Class

How does an evening full of laughter, pasta and a cheeky yet irrepressibly lovable nonna sound?

Mamma Rosa’s wit is as sharp as her best kitchen knife, and by the time the night is over you’ll be rolling under the table with laughter, a full belly (three courses!) and a newfound appreciation for the finer points of making, and eating pasta!

Cost : $90+ per person

More : Mamma Rosa’s MastaPasta Class

#14 - Hobart Alcohol History Tour

With such a long convict history you can understand how alcohol played a significant role in Tasmania’s early colonial days.

‘Rot gut’ is a fair description of what they used to drink – and it is nothing like the high quality whiskies, wines, gins and beer being produced across the island these days.

Best Shiraz in the world? Check! Best whisky in the world? Yep! Best gin in the world? You bet!

This 2-hr walking tour will take you to some of Hobart’s historic neighborhoods where you will learn about the city’s colonial heritage and the changing trends of alcohol consumption through the years. 

And of course no tour like this would be complete without the chance to taste some delicious wines, spirits and ciders!

Cost : $70+ per person

#15 - Cascade Brewery

Australia’s oldest brewery, for nearly 200 years Cascade has been combining the pristine waters and aromatic hops of Tasmania to produce some of the nation’s best beers.

A 1.5-hr guided tour of this historic site is a real eye-opener as you not only learn about their brewing process, but about the stories behind the people that have worked there over the years as well.

The short and sweet tour finishes across the road in the gardens of the Brewhouse with a few free tastings of their best brews.

Cost : $33+ per person

#16 - Craft Beer and Brewery Tour

Hobart has experienced a booming craft beer scene in recent years. 

Hoppy India Pale Ales, rich stouts, sour saisons, easy drinking lagers…no matter what your preference there is bound to be a Tassie craft beer with your name on it!

This 6-hr ‘Hobart Hops’ tour is a relaxing all-day affair, starting with Cascade Brewery and then diving deep into the many craft beers on offer back in town – tastings galore of course, and a delicious lunch included!

Cost : $190+ per person

#17 - MONA Museum + Moorilla Winery

Sleepy little Hobart didn’t know what hit it when the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) opened its doors to the world!

Considered to be one of the best privately owned collections in the world, this museum is like no other.

Bizarre, confronting, smelly (at times), dark and downright hilarious! It’s one of those places you have to see to believe, and 10 years from now I guarantee you’ll still be saying, “Do you remember that time…” 😂

It’s obvious when you get there, but many visitors don’t realise Moorilla Winery is right next door, and combining a wine tasting with museum entry makes for the perfect day tour!

Cost : $165+ per person (includes FREE ferry ride from Brooke Street pier to MONA and a seasonal lunch at the stunning Source restaurant)

Where to stay in Hobart

To help with your planning I’ve also reviewed all the hotels, apartment and caravan park options in and around Hobart.

Award-winning MACq 01 is right on the waterfront and is the best inner-city luxury option.

For a great all-rounder suiting couples and families, you can’t beat the RACT/RACV Apartment Hotel near Salamanca. It’s just minutes from the Salamanca Markets!

For a cute and quirky budget option have a look at the Alabama Hotel in central Hobart. The rooms are lovely and they also happen to make a mean cocktail at their awesome little balcony bar!

Caravan Parks

Discovery Parks has two fantastic options – Discovery Parks Hobart and Discovery Parks Mornington .  Both are perfect as a base for exploring Hobart, the Coal River Valley, and the Derwent Valley. Use my LAPOFTAS code when making your booking and receive 20% OFF !

My final thoughts on Hobart sightseeing tours

As you can see, depending on your interests there are plenty of different Hobart tour options to keep you busy!

As I mentioned at the top, I always recommend starting with a free walking tour option and the ‘Hop-on Hop-off’ bus, and then to use them to work out what you’d like to experience in more detail. Hopefully there’s something there that takes your fancy 😊

Maybe you’ve already experienced one of these tours, or perhaps there’s a tour I should include in my guide?

I appreciate genuine traveller feedback as it helps improve the advice I provide to visitors. Please feel free to get in touch and let me know, or drop by the  Lap of Tasmania Facebook Group  and share your thoughts!

Happy travels,

Travel planning resources

Tasmania’s remote location means there are internet ‘black spots’ across the island. 

A hard copy travel guide or map is the perfect backup, and I love the range from Lonely Planet.

Explore the local crafts on offer while enjoying the buskers and music. You’ll also want to sample a range of fresh seasonal produce and gourmet foods. As we make our way onto the Tasman Peninsula/turrakana, we’ll visit a wildlife sanctuary to meet native wildlife including Tasmanian devils. At Port Arthur Historic Site, imagine the harsh convict life of the early 1800’s as you walk amongst the preserved ruins. This open-air museum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and represents Australia’s best preserved convict settlement. Today we’ll also experience the dramatic coastal scenery of Tasman National Park which has the tallest coastal sea cliffs in Australia. You’ll see the geological wonders of Tasman Arch and the Devil’s Kitchen before returning to Hobart where you can enjoy a night exploring the city at your leisure.

Overnight: Hobart

Departing Hobart along the Great Eastern Drive, our destination is Freycinet National Park on the East Coast. This fabulous park has pristine beaches and a stunning pink granite mountain range known as The Hazards. Climb to the summit of Mt Amos or join the walk to Wineglass Bay lookout. Or you may wish to continue to Wineglass Bay beach to walk along the edge of the translucent waters. At Cape Tourville Lighthouse you’ll love the panoramic vistas across the coast. We’ll spend the night in the coastal town of Bicheno, where little penguins emerge from the sea at night time.

Overnight: Bicheno

Today we’ll continue to explore the captivating East Coast of Tasmania. The Bay of Fires/larapuna is a place with profound cultural significance to Tasmanian aboriginal people (palawa).

We’ll enjoy lunch in the fishing town of St Helens then make our way to Launceston via the lush Northeast region of Tasmania.

Overnight: Launceston

Leaving Launceston, a short drive takes us through Sheffield, the ‘Town of Murals’ and then onto Tasmania’s most famous alpine national park, Cradle Mountain. Cradle is home to an abundance of wildlife such as wombats and echidnas. Choose from a variety of incredible walks; the Dove Lake circuit is likely the best short walk in Tasmania, while the challenging walk to the summit of Marion’s Lookout offers unmatched views of the glacial carved wilderness. Easier options today include a stroll along Ronny Creek or down to the Boatshed. Departing Cradle, we travel to the harbourside village of Strahan on the West Coast, our accommodation for the next two nights.

Overnight: Strahan

Today’s playground is the untouched wilderness of Tasmania’s West Coast. Walk in the rainforests of the Tarkine/takayna to reach Tasmania’s highest waterfall, Montezuma Falls. You’ll also explore the enormous Henty Sand Dunes which stretch for kilometres along the coast. Alternatively, today you have the option of cruising the wildly beautiful Gordon River (own cost) which ventures deep into the World Heritage Area. Later at the windswept Ocean Beach, you can breathe the world’s freshest air. Back in Strahan, our guide can help you look for platypus.

Buttongrass plains, mountains, waterfalls, rainforest, and pioneer history are some of today’s highlights. Departing Strahan, we’ll visit the moonscape of Queenstown, a mining town with a fascinating history. We then travel through the Tasmanian World Heritage Area via the pristine Franklin-Gordon Wild River National Park. We’ll also stop at Australia’s deepest freshwater lake, Lake St Clair.
