What to expect
Day one centres on Hobart's cultural and natural anchors. You'll browse Salamanca Market's stalls, ascend Mt Wellington by minibus for sweeping vistas, then explore Richmond's sandstone cottages and bridges. Bonorong comes next—a hands-on wildlife encounter where you'll get close to species found nowhere else on Earth. Day two shifts to Bruny Island: a scenic drive and light walk to Cape Bruny Lighthouse, followed by visits to local food producers showcasing Tasmania's growing reputation. Expect an active pace with plenty of photo stops, but nothing strenuous. Lunch isn't provided, so bring cash or plan stops in towns.
Good to know
Minimum age is 4 years; children need adult supervision. If Mt Wellington is cloud-covered or snow-laden, you'll visit Rosny Lookout or Mt Nelson instead. Dress for variable weather—Tasmania's coast shifts quickly. Pickups operate within 5km of Hobart CBD. National Parks Pass is included; bring water and snacks.
