Description

Explore Hobart's rich history and stunning sights on a seamless and comfortable bus tour. Depart from close to the cruise terminal and take a journey through the heart of Hobart, where grand sandstone warehouses at Salamanca Place stand as reminders of the city’s colonial past. Continue into Battery Point, a charming neighborhood where heritage cottages line narrow, winding streets, offering a glimpse into Tasmania’s early European settlement. Glide along the waterfront, where fishing boats bob in the harbor and the modern city skyline meets its historic foundations. Along the way, your expert guide shares fascinating stories about Hobart’s transformation from a convict settlement to a thriving cultural hub. At Mount Nelson Lookout, pause for a breathtaking panoramic view over the River Derwent and the city below, a perfect photo opportunity before continuing your journey. After the city tour shifts into nature as you begin the climb up kunanyi / Mount Wellington. The road winds through towering eucalypt forests before giving way to the rugged alpine landscape that defines this Tasmanian icon. As you ascend, the temperature drops, the air turns crisp, and suddenly, at 1,271 meters above sea level, you arrive at the summit. Stepping out onto the lookout platform, you’re met with an awe-inspiring view stretching far beyond Hobart. The vast Derwent River sparkles in the sunlight, Bruny Island lies on the horizon, and the rugged peaks of Tasmania’s wilderness seem to go on forever. The fresh mountain air fills your lungs as you take in the raw beauty surrounding you, capturing photos that will serve as lasting memories of your time in Tasmania. After time to explore the summit, the journey back down offers one last chance to take in the spectacular scenery before returning to the city. With a smooth, hassle-free experience and a guaranteed on-time return to your ship, this tour blends the best of Hobart—its history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes—into one unforgettable shore excursion.
