Top Hobart Layover Tours

Maximize your time while in port in Hobart and visit five top attractions in one day on this full-day shore excursion. Take in the views from Mt Wellington, browse the stalls at Salamanca Market (Saturday only), and learn about Hobart’s convict history in Richmond. After lunch (own expense), spot kangaroos, koalas, and Tasmanian devils at the Bonorong wildlife Sanctuary.

The 4,170-foot (1,270-meter) peak of Mt. Wellington is one of Hobart’s most famous landmarks. This Explorer Bus ticket offers hassle-free transfers between Hobart and the mountain summit—a 30-minute journey each way. Your ticket is valid all day and there are several different departure times, so you can hop off to hike the mountain trails and spend as long as you like admiring the views from the summit.

Book a 1- or 2-day pass on a Hobart hop-on hop-off bus tour for an easy way to explore the city's top attractions at your own pace. Travel by double-decker red bus to 20 stops around the city, where you can hop off whenever you wish to visit the places that interest you. Alternatively, opt to stay onboard the bus for the full loop.
