Discover the Heart of Tasmania with Our Signature Hobart Shore Excursion
Tasmania’s capital, Hobart, is a city that seamlessly blends natural beauty, fascinating wildlife, and world-class food and wine. Our Signature Hobart Shore Excursion offers a curated experience for small groups of up to 10 guests, ensuring you uncover the true essence of this unique island. With no big coaches or flags to follow, you’ll travel in comfort and style, guided by a passionate local storyteller who will take you to some of Tasmania’s most stunning locations.
Imagine yourself standing atop Mt Wellington, with the fresh Tasmanian air filling your lungs and the entire city of Hobart sprawled out below. This iconic mountain offers a breathtaking panorama of Hobart, the Derwent River, and the surrounding wilderness. As your guide shares tales of the region’s rich history and culture, you’ll feel a deep connection to the landscape, understanding its significance to the locals who call it home.
From the heights of Mt Wellington, your adventure will lead you to one of Tasmania’s hidden treasures—Pooley Wines. Nestled in the lush hills of Richmond, this family-owned winery is renowned for its elegant, cool-climate wines. You’ll indulge in a tasting experience that goes beyond the wine itself; your guide will share stories of the Pooley family’s legacy and the unique characteristics of the region that make their wines so special. With every sip, you’ll discover the passion and dedication that goes into crafting each bottle.
No trip to Tasmania would be complete without an up-close encounter with its native wildlife, and that’s exactly what awaits you at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. This sanctuary isn’t just about seeing animals—it’s about understanding their stories. Bonorong is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating Tasmania’s wildlife, from the iconic Tasmanian devil to the gentle kangaroos and sleepy koalas. As you wander the sanctuary, your guide will bring the animals’ stories to life, sharing how the sanctuary is making a real difference in protecting these beloved creatures.
But the journey doesn’t end with wildlife and wine. A stop at Wicked Cheese promises a gourmet experience to delight your senses. This award-winning cheesemaker produces some of Tasmania’s finest cheeses, and you’ll have the chance to taste a variety of them, from creamy bries to sharp cheddars. Paired with local produce and perhaps a glass of Tasmanian wine, this stop is a celebration of the island’s artisanal food culture.
Throughout the day, your storytelling guide will weave together the threads of Tasmania’s history, wildlife, and gastronomy, creating a rich tapestry that gives you a true sense of place. Whether it’s sharing tales of early settlers, the preservation efforts for endangered species, or the intricate art of winemaking and cheesemaking, your guide ensures every moment of your excursion is both educational and entertaining.
This Signature Hobart Shore Excursion is more than just a day trip—it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the heart and soul of Tasmania. With a small group, intimate settings, and a personalized touch, you’ll experience Hobart in a way that larger tours simply can’t offer.
