About this tour
Scale Hobart's highest peak at 1270 metres, then wander the Georgian streets of Richmond in a single seven-hour outing. You'll reach kunanyi/Mt Wellington's windswept summit for sweeping views across the Derwent, then drop into one of Australia's oldest European settlements to examine convict-era stonework and browse independent shops. A local driver guides both legs, unlocking discounts at Richmond's best haunts.
Highlights
- Summit views across Derwent Valley and Storm Bay
- Convict-built bridges and sandstone cottages, 1820s Richmond
- Three hours free to explore Richmond's cafes and galleries
- Exclusive merchant discounts throughout the village
- Accessible to all fitness levels and mobility aids
What to expect
Expect a leisurely morning drive upslope through kunanyi/Mt Wellington's switchbacks, stopping partway for alpine views before the half-hour summit break. The air thins noticeably at 1270 metres; bring layers. You'll then descend into Richmond, a pocket-sized village built on convict labour where sandstone walls and wrought ironwork dominate. Your guide hands you a walking map and vouchers, then you're free to pace the place yourself. Most spend time in heritage cafes, small museums, and craft shops.
Good to know
Pack warm clothes and water; the summit is exposed and can turn cold. No meals included, though Richmond has several cafes nearby. Wheelchairs, prams, and service dogs are welcome. Public transport connects Hobart if you prefer not to use the tour return.
