Australia · TASMANIA TOURS
Bruny Island, Wineglass Bay, the Gordon River and Port Arthur — Tasmania is small enough to day-trip and wild enough to need a guide. The 15 below are priced and timed, most of them out of Hobart.

Ride from Hobart to kunanyi/Mt Wellington for summit views, helpful commentary, flexible stops, and an easy 2.5-hour return trip.
“The trip up to Mt Wellington was a little uncomfortable. The seats are very skinny & the sound system isn’t very good. We couldn’t hear what our driver was saying. The view from Mt Wellington is spectacular. It is something you can’t not do while in Hobart. Beware it is very windy. Overall a great tour for a good price.”

“An all round excellent day. Very well organised excursion. A congenial guide- thank you David. Informative commentary made the activities come to life. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tastings ran like clockwork. Our guide and responsible driver and good humoured companion, Dave, made it a wonderful day out for the two of us. 20 out of 10.”
Ride from Hobart to kunanyi/Mt Wellington for sweeping views, guided commentary, short walks, and flexible hop-on hop-off access.
“Our tour guide/driver Paul of bus no.203 was really great and with good humour. The place is absolutely mesmerising that 30mins at the pick wasn’t really long enough, although you can wait for another bus after 1 and half hour, it would be great if they can make the waiting time longer than 30mins. 45mins would be ideal. Also, it’s our son’s 13th birthday that makes this trip more memorable for him and for the whole family.”
