    Fun and Informative

    Grey was a brilliant tour leader. He knew the areas intimately and brought real colour to the trip. Even when it rained in Cradle Mountain we took a lot from the walks. Wine Glass Bay was just stunning.

    Response from the operator: We appreciate your kind words. It is wonderful to hear Grey made the trip engaging and that you enjoyed the beautiful views at Wineglass Bay. Hope to see you again soon.

    Bruny Island is a must-see

    I had an amazing day trip to Bruny Island, and the breathtaking scenery, especially under the bright, sunny sky, truly captivated me! The delicious food at Hotel Bruny made lunch a delightful experience. I especially loved strolling through the temperate rainforest, where we even spotted some Pademelons!

    Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your day with us! It sounds like you had a beautiful time exploring Bruny. Glad you enjoyed the food, the rainforest walk, and spotting some local wildlife along the way. Hope to welcome you back to Tassie again.

    Packed schedule

    The schedule is quite packed and does not offer enough time to explore deeper. But it’s acceptable due to the time constraints of a day tour.

    2 Day Tasmanian Highlights Tour - Bruny Island & Port Arthur: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.

    How much does 2 Day Tasmanian Highlights Tour - Bruny Island & Port Arthur cost?

    +

    Prices start at $222 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Day Tasmanian Highlights Tour - Bruny Island & Port Arthur take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.

    Is 2 Day Tasmanian Highlights Tour - Bruny Island & Port Arthur worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Tasmanian Highlights Tour - Bruny Island & Port Arthur?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Day Tasmanian Highlights Tour - Bruny Island & Port Arthur suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Day Tasmanian Highlights Tour - Bruny Island & Port Arthur?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Day Tasmanian Highlights Tour - Bruny Island & Port Arthur start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hobart?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Day Tour in Mt. Field, Mt. Wellington, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Richmond. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hobart?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hobart?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Day Tasmanian Highlights Tour - Bruny Island & Port Arthur?
