    The Best Tour in Tasmania

    It was a truly amazing experience! Our tour guide, Gray, explained everything in great detail and was very friendly, which made the tour even more enjoyable. We were so lucky to see a beautiful rainbow in the mountains! I would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone!

    A little bit of everything...

    Awesome day. Mark was so knowledgeable on the history of the region and nailed the timing and order of sites we visited. We could not recommend this tour highly enough.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the day and that the tour was well timed and easy to enjoy. Hope to welcome you back to Tassie again.

    The views from Mt....

    The views from Mt. Wellington were amazing. In Richmond make sure to have a scallop pie at the bakery. Bonorong sanctuary was a great stop as well with Tasmanian devils and kangaroo feeding. Andrew did a great job of giving us the highlights of Hobart and good commentary on all of the places we past.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your experience. We're pleased you enjoyed the views from Mt Wellington, Bonorong, and the stop in Richmond. Hope to see you again.

    Mark is so knowledgeable!...

    Mark is so knowledgeable! I learnt facts I never would have learnt if I went by myself. The experience was also not rigid. We are allowed to step out of the van on our own and explore each place to our liking for around 1.5h. So that gave everyone on the trip a chance to connect with each other too. I would definitely book other tours with them!

    Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your experience. We're glad you enjoyed learning from Mark and appreciated the relaxed style of the tour. We are glad you joined us and hope to see you again soon.

    Hobart Highlights Day Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Hobart Highlights Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $107 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 Hobart Highlights Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Hobart Highlights Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 101 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 Hobart Highlights Day Tour?

    +

    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 Hobart Highlights Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hobart Highlights Day Tour?

    +

    Around 35 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hobart Highlights Day Tour 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 Hobart Highlights Day Tour?

    +

    Included: time at Richmond to explore the town; Driver/guide; Time at the top of kunanyi (Mt Wellington) to explore; General Entry to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary; and Live commentary on board. Not included: Lunch and drinks not included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Hobart Highlights Day Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 66 listed pickup locations in and around Hobart. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Hobart Highlights Day Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hobart Highlights Day Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Hobart Highlights Day Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Hobart Highlights Day Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Hobart Highlights Day Tour?

    +

    Across 101 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, photo opportunities. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
