Top Tasmania Arts & Design

Immerse yourself in the natural wonders and eventful history of Tasmania on a 6-hour boat tour from Strahan. The first-class catamaran ensures comfort from beginning to end. Cruise through Hell’s Gates, then enjoy a guided visit on Sarah Island, which once housed the island’s most notorious penal settlement. Enjoy a delicious lunch on board the ship, then continue your adventure with a boardwalk tour through the UNESCO listed Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park.

Discover the past and modern-day highlights of Hobart on a 3-hour tour that combines a city history tour with a look around Salamanca and Battery Point.

Combine two top Hobart experiences with this tour package. Admire the Tasmanian capital from the summit of Mount Wellington, then experience a different kind of beauty at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), one of Australia’s newest and most controversial art museums with a varied collection including Egyptian mummies and edgy contemporary installations. Hotel pickup adds convenience to your day.

Save time on your trip to Tasmania by discovering three of its highlight destinations in just three days on this comprehensive group tour. Start with a tour around Hobart to see the state capital’s highlights, including Mt. Wellington. Next, take a day trip down to Bruny Island for a day of beaches and wildlife, before finishing the final day with historic Port Arthur and other scenic spots around it.

At 10.15am, journey to Mona in the Posh Pit—the ferry’s lavish private lounge, bar and deck—devour complimentary canapés and beverages on the thirty minute voyage along the River Derwent. As you jump off the ferry, meet your Mona Host on the jetty landing, who will escort you to the Void Bar, introduce you to the bartender and get you sorted with a cocktail to fortify yourself for a quick plunge into the nearby galleries. After some art, you’ll arrive in the museum’s Faro Bar and Restaurant for a feast from rockstar executive chef Vince Trim—including fancy matched drinks from Mona’s wine cellar and access to Event Horizon, James Turrell’s neuron-tingling light artwork. At 3pm, your host will escort you to The Source Restaurant—for sweeping views, a final sip, and a special gift, before you head back underground. Suitably addled/prepared, you’ll explore David Walsh’s subterranean collection of art and antiquities before slipping back onto the ferry (further snacks, drinks).

Start your adventure at the Hobart Zoo, where you can hand-feed free-roaming kangaroos and come face-to-face with the legendary Tasmanian Devil during their morning feeding presentation. Next, head to Salamanca Place, the historic heart of the capital. Stroll past magnificent 1830s Georgian sandstone warehouses, browse boutique artisan galleries, and enjoy a premium local lunch in this vibrant waterfront precinct. In the afternoon, explore the world-famous MONA (Museum of Old and New Art). Descend into its subterranean labyrinth to experience thought-provoking contemporary art and immersive installations at your own pace. Finally, ascend Mt Wellington (kunanyi). From the 1,271-meter summit, enjoy an unmatched, panoramic bird’s-eye view of Hobart, the Derwent River, and the Southern Ocean before a comfortable descent back to the city.
