Mt Wellington & Bonorong Wildlife Tour: Tasmanian Devils & WineA full-day guided tour of Tasmania combining three stops: Mt Wellington's summit views, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary where you encounter Tasmanian Devils and kangaroos, and a wine tasting with local cheeses in Coal Valley. The tour departs at 9:15 am, includes a live English-speaking guide and hotel pickup, and runs daily with a minimum of two participants.Is it for me?Small groups keep the sanctuary experience unhurried—the tour requires a minimum of two participants, so you are never in a crowd of thirty at the wildlife enclosures. Book this one if you want the Tasmanian Devil encounter and the wine tasting on the same day without renting a car or building an itinerary yourself.
Bruny Island Food Tour from Hobart: Cheese, Oysters & WhiskyA full-day food and drink tour from Hobart to Bruny Island with tastings at six local producers—cheese, chocolate, honey, oysters, wine and whisky—plus a ferry crossing, a climb to Truganini Lookout for 360-degree views, and a stop at a roadside sourdough baker. The group is capped at six people. Pickup from your Hobart hotel or cruise ship is included; lunch is on your own at one of two venues, and the whisky tasting runs only if the distillery is open that day.Is it for me?The nine-hour day involves moderate walking between stops and a climb up steps to the lookout (optional), so you'll want to wear comfortable shoes and be ready to move at a steady pace. The group's small size means the guide can pause longer at any stop or rearrange the order if someone needs a break, making it workable for most fitness levels as long as you're comfortable with a full day on your feet.
Mt Field & Bonorong Wildlife Tour from HobartA full-day guided tour from Hobart combines Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Mount Field National Park, with hotel pickup, entrance fees, and bottled water included. You hand-feed free-roaming kangaroos, watch a 45-minute keeper presentation on Tasmanian devils and conservation, then explore rainforest trails and the iconic Russell Falls. The tour departs at 7:00 AM and returns by 3 PM, with easy walks suited to all fitness levels.Is it for me?If you're staying in Hobart without a rental car, this tour handles the driving and the entry fees, so a morning at the sanctuary and an afternoon in the rainforest become one seamless day instead of a logistics puzzle. The small-group format and fixed schedule mean you're not waiting for stragglers or making decisions about timing—the day holds together without you building it.
Port Arthur Day Tour from Hobart: Convict History & Coastal WalksA full-day guided tour from Hobart to Port Arthur Historic Site on Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula, with entry, a scenic harbour cruise around Carnarvon Bay, and four coastal stops showcasing natural rock formations and clifftop ocean views. The tour runs 10.5 hours with a local guide, small-group format, and hotel pickup from Hobart; lunch is not included, so plan accordingly or bring food.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full day away from Hobart exploring the peninsula's natural and historical sites with a guide who can explain what you're seeing—not if you're planning to spend time in the city itself.
Tasmania Hiking Tour: Cradle Mountain, Bay of Fires & Maria IslandA 6-day guided hiking tour of Tasmania departing from Hobart that loops through the island's wilderness—Cradle Mountain National Park, Bay of Fires, Maria Island and the Tasman Peninsula—with a small group of no more than 13 people. You stay in comfortable accommodation (lakeside lodge, bush cabins, beachside bungalows and farm stays), hike to named landmarks like Wineglass Bay and Cape Hauy, and watch wildlife including wombats, wallabies, echidnas and Tasmanian devils in their natural habitat. Breakfast and dinner are included each day; the tour operates with a live English-speaking guide and pickup from Hobart.Is it for me?Pick this tour if you want guided hikes through Cradle Mountain and Tasmania's alpine regions with wildlife spotting included, rather than navigating trails and animal encounters solo.
Wineglass Bay & Freycinet Day Tour: Hike to LookoutThis day tour from Hobart travels to Freycinet National Park on Tasmania's east coast, where you hike 1.3 km uphill to the Wineglass Bay Lookout in about 45 minutes. The tour includes park entry, an air-conditioned vehicle with round-trip pickup from central Hobart, bottled water, and a guide who leads the walk and helps with photos. After the lookout, you choose: continue down to Wineglass Bay beach for a longer hike, or return with the group to visit Honeymoon Bay and Cape Tourville Lighthouse instead. The day ends at Devil's Corner Winery, where wine, oysters and food are available at your own expense.Is it for me?The guide speaks English and walks with the group at a moderate pace, so you need a reasonable level of fitness to keep up with the hike to Wineglass Bay Lookout. If you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns, this tour is not suitable; the 45-minute uphill walk and the choice to continue down to the beach are the core of the day, and there is no way to skip them and still join the group.
