20 reviewed
Hobart sits under kunanyi/Mount Wellington with the Derwent at its feet, which makes it an easy city to be shown around. Below are the Hobart days worth the early start: the summit bus, Bruny Island food runs, Port Arthur down the peninsula and the wildlife stops on the way, with prices and how long each one keeps you out.

“David was a great tour guide. Made the day so much fun, even on a day when the weather was spotty. Bruny Island is amazing, particularly the lighthouse and views from the “neck” of the island. Sampling oysters on the beach was a nice touch and lunch at the Bruny Island was good. I personally could have done without visits to the cheese store, the honey store, and the candy store, although some people like those stops and it helps the local economy.”
