9 days in Hobart Itinerary

Snaking up the side of a rounded, tree-dotted hill, Hobart sits between Tasmania’s sprawling mountains and the vast estuary of the River Derwent.

Venture out of the city with trips to Port Arthur (Port Arthur Historic Site & The Parsonage), Tessellated Pavement (in Eaglehawk Neck) and Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary (in Brighton). On the 1st (Wed), give your taste buds a day to remember with a local gastronomic tour. Spend the 6th (Mon) wandering through the wild on Inala Nature Tours. The adventure continues: don't miss a visit to Cascades Female Factory Historic Site, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Wellington, take an in-depth tour of Mawson's Hut Replica Museum, and admire the natural beauty at Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.
