A Road Trip Around Greater Hobart

The experience is a full day--rainforest walk, a visit to a wildlife sanctuary, a touristy town with shops and eateries, and a drive to the top of Mt. Wellington. I personally thought we spent too much time in Richmond the touristy town; others on the tour would disagree. Jarrod, our guide, was very informative and personable. I recommend this tour.
