Experience Hobart’s history and lifestyles on a privately guided walking tour combining Hobart’s historic heart, Salamanca, and Battery Point. Led by a local expert, you’ll delve into Tasmania's rich past and vibrant present. The next day brings a seafood lover’s paradise with the Deep-to-Dish Tasmanian Seafood Cruise. Departing from Hobart, this half-day experience allows you to savor fresh catches like oysters, mussels, and abalone while cruising to Bruny Island’s Bull Bay, surrounded by pristine waters and the chance to spot dolphins, whales, and seals.

There is free time to explore Hobart at your leisure, and the Salamanca Markets before joining your small group for a behind-the-scenes tour at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary offers a close encounter with Tasmania’s iconic animals, such as wombats and the Tasmanian Devil.

Travel to the serene village of Triabunna for a ferry ride to Maria Island, a wildlife sanctuary where wombats and kangaroos roam freely. The island offers scenic walks across rugged cliffs, bays, and historic ruins. By evening, you’ll arrive in Bicheno, nestled along Tasmania’s sunny east coast. The next day, embark on a cruise along Freycinet National Park’s stunning granite coastline, culminating in Wineglass Bay. Look out for hidden sea caves, blowholes, and even little penguins at Schouten Island before winding down with a fairy penguin tour at dusk.

As the journey continues, marvel at the Bay of Fires’ lichen-covered rocks, explore white sandy beaches, and witness the cascading St. Columba Falls. Your final stop is Launceston, where you’ll enjoy an introductory city tour and visit the breathtaking Cataract Gorge before concluding this memorable journey in Tasmania’s second-largest city.

This trip is perfect for nature enthusiasts, food lovers, and anyone seeking a genuine Tasmanian experience.

Hobart

Don't miss this small, scenic capital, famous for its Georgian buildings and crisp air. Browse bustling Salamanca Markets and run your hands over the sandstone buildings in Salamanca Place. Climb craggy Mount Wellington for sweeping views over Hobart and the wide Derwent River. Do a ghost tour in Battery Point, walk across Australia's oldest bridge in Richmond and visit the cute coastal hamlet of Kettering. Wind past forest and farmland to the cool-climate wineries of the Coal Valley. See bright spinnakers on the water and dine on fresh seafood from one of Hobart's waterside restaurants.

Five must-have Hobart experiences:

1. Wander Salamanca Place

Step back in time in Salamanca Place, the captivating cobblestone square on Hobart's waterfront. On Saturday mornings, you can wander through bustling Salamanca Markets and see glassblowers, potters and painters selling their wares. Buy a one-off piece of craft or pick up organic fruit and vegetables, farmhouse cheeses and freshly-cut flowers from the friendly local growers. Drink coffee under the sun umbrellas while listening to the slap of sails on masts and busking string quartets. Explore the galleries, theatres, craft shops and restaurants in the 1830s Georgian warehouses, once the haunt of sailors, whalers and workmen.

2. Climb Mount Wellington

Take in panoramic views over Hobart, Bruny Island, South Arm and the Tasman Peninsula from the interpretation centre at the top of windswept Mount Wellington. Stroll through cool forested gullies along the historic Pipeline Track or traverse Wellington Range on the back of a horse or mountain bike. Climb Sphinx Rock and see the Octopus Tree, the forest's tallest tree. Abseil or climb the Organ Pipe's craggy dolerite towers. Camp under the stars, four wheel drive along rough mountain trails or bike-ride down the mountain on an exhilarating tour. Mount Wellington's wilderness experience is 1,270 metres above sea level but just 20 minutes from the city centre.

3. Stay in Hobart's oldest suburb

Stay in bed and breakfasts next to grand old mansions and simple fishermen's cottages in Battery Point, named after a battery of guns put on the point in 1818. The guns have long been dismantled but Battery Point has retained its original seafaring charm. Visit elegant old buildings such as Arthur Circus Cottages, St. George's Anglican Church and Van Diemen's Land Folk Museum, a Georgian building on landscaped grounds. Check out Kelly's Steps, built by legendary adventurer James Kelly in 1839. Or walk in the footsteps of convicts, bushrangers, whalers, sailors, barmaids and prostitutes on a ghost tour.

4. Visit Richmond and Kettering

You can walk across Australia's oldest bridge and stand in the cell of its oldest jail in picturesque Richmond, a 30-minute drive north-east from Hobart. Explore the cobblestone streets by the lantern light of a ghost tour or picnic on the banks of the Coal River. Check out local art and craft in the galleries and cafes. On your way back to Hobart, stop off at one of the Coal Valley's many wineries. South from Hobart, you'll find the sleepy seaside town of Kettering on the shores of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Have lunch watching the yachts and fishing boats bob on the sheltered harbour or take the ferry to Bruny Island.

5. Fill up on seafood and fine wine

Savour classic cool-climate wines at the cellar doors and wineries of the Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley and Huon Valley, all a short drive from Hobart. You can team them with a plate full of fresh produce in a sunny vineyard restaurant. Feast on freshly shucked oysters at Barilla Bay and fresh-off-the-boat fish from Salamanca Markets. Or you can watch the catch being unloaded from the balcony of one of Hobart's waterside restaurants. Wrap yourself in the aroma of ground coffee in the cafes of Salamanca Place. Or spice up your holiday with a meal at one of Hobart's many great Indian eateries.
