Things to do in Hobart

My Bruny Island experience with Tassie Tours was absolutely outstanding, and a huge part of that was thanks to Andrew, our guide for the day. His energy, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm for the island made the tour feel personal and unforgettable. What really set this tour apart were all the extra sightings and bonus stops Andrew added along the way. He has an incredible eye — he spotted white wallabies long before anyone else noticed them, and pointed out the most colourful mushrooms tucked away in the forest. These little discoveries made the day feel magical and gave us moments we never would’ve found on our own. The pacing of the tour was perfect, the commentary was engaging, and Andrew made sure everyone had time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. His passion for Bruny Island and its wildlife truly elevated the whole experience. A brilliant day from start to finish. Five stars for Tassie Tours and an extra five for Andrew. Highly recommended.

The scenery on the mountain is fantastic, and there are two stops along the way for you to take a few photos. However, you only get half an hour at the summit, though you can choose to take a later train, which gives you about an hour and a half there. Overall, it is definitely worth participating in.

The tour guide was excellent, telling us a lot about the animals and plants. Even though I don't understand a single word of English, it didn't stop me from enjoying the trip and appreciating the guide's dedicated work ethic! Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful and memorable trip to Bruny Island! 🥰🌿 A big thank you to Jimmy from Bruny Island Safaris for making our tour so smooth, fun, and enjoyable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting information about Tasmania along the way. He took us to beautiful places, and every stop made the experience even more special. We truly enjoyed every moment of the trip and created beautiful memories to take home with us. Highly recommend Bruny Island Safaris, especially with Jimmy as your tour guide! Thank you for such an amazing experience! ❤️✨️

The guide was very informative. Came on time. Thoroughly talked through all the enclosures we walked past. You definitely get to see devils in action. Highly recommend this tour!

Heather was absolutely terrific. She was friendly and provides heaps of information along the trip. The view of Wineglass Bay was stunning and we were blessed to meet a wallaby with a joey. Heather then brought us to a picnic place with a stunning view to eat our lunch and to see the lighthouse at Cape Tourville. Ended the wonderful day with a short stop at Devil's Corner where I shared a delicious wine paddle with my husband. A lovely day out and about in the beautiful nature!

Very good experience on the tasman island cruise. Guides are friendly and nice. They provide a waterproof big coat to wear while on the cruise. Generally, no water splash on us. The "driver" has very good skills. Cruise not bumpy but very windy and cold wind blowing in your face. Can see alot of seals and nice view of Candlestick and other amazing views of the Tasman island area. Lucky enough to see dolphins and so near our boat.

The Tasman Island Cruises Full Day Tour from Hobart was easily one of the highlights of my Tasmania trip. Our guide was incredibly friendly, helpful, and informative, making the whole day enjoyable from start to finish. The cruise was amazing—we saw stunning waterfalls, a historic lighthouse, playful seals, and even whales! The boat ride was exciting while still feeling very safe and well-organized. Other highlights included a lovely morning tea, delicious fish and chips for lunch (included), chocolate hazelnut ice cream (extra cost) at the Tasmanian Chocolate Foundry, and visits to the beautiful Safety Cove State Reserve and Remarkable Cave. Every activity was worth it, and I left with wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation for Tasmania's natural beauty. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience! The seafood was fresh and plentiful as was the free flowing drinks. The staff onboard was friendly and knowlegable both in the seafood and in different aspect of Tasmania which made the trip that much more enjoyable.
