Best experience ever! Highly recommend.
This was an amazing experience and we would highly recommend. Our guide Preety collected us from the hotel and we were chauffeured around in luxury. She was super-friendly and helpful and her vast knowledge of the area and the history was very impressive. Bonorong wildlife sanctuary was amazing and not only did we get to see wallaby’s and tasmanian devils, we also got to feed kangaroos who were roaming freely around. The wine tasting at Nocton was incredible, views were spectacular and the variety of wine available and the quality was very impressive. Finally we went to the summit of Mt Wellington and the views of Hobart were absolutely stunning, it was very cold though so the warm car for our journey home was most welcoming! Preety recommended and helped us book the hop-on hop- off bus for the remainder of the afternoon and she dropped us directly to there. Her restaurant recommendation for the Drunken Admiral was superb, food and overall experience was incredible. Overall we cannot praise Preety enough, she was amazing and give this experience 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Response from the operator: Thanks Tonia for the lovely review on our product offering but also Preety. Enjoy the rest of your travels.

Perfect Summers Day in Hobart
A fabulous 5-6hr trip with Justin visiting a local wildlife refuge, and stunning Nocton winery with the lovely Linda who dealt with our mixed group most ably. Rounded off with a scenic drive to Mt Wellington in the best of weather for tremendous views of Hobart. Justin also added in a neighbourhood tour of Hobart and Scenic Richmond. A perfect day in Hobart. 💕 Can’t wait to spend more time in Tassie in the future.
Response from the operator: Thank you, great to have had the opportunity to be leading this tour. It was indeed a perfect weather day in Hobart for your visit! Enjoy NZ!

Mt Wellington Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Wine Tasting Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Mt Wellington Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Wine Tasting Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $197 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 Mt Wellington Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Wine Tasting 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 Mt Wellington Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Wine Tasting Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mt Wellington Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Wine Tasting 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 Mt Wellington Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Wine Tasting 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 Mt Wellington Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Wine Tasting Tour?
+
Around 1 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 Mt Wellington Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Wine Tasting 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.
