Informative and funny. Scenery was beautiful. Loved the walks. And the boat trip. Too much time on the bus and very cramped. Also, a couple got in sick & infected everyone with cough: cold sky high I don’t know what you do about that! Also the accommodation in first few nights was poor.

Why start in Hobart
A smart base for guided Tasmania road trips and nature-packed itineraries
Hobart suits Australia trips that want a clear starting point with a strong local atmosphere, followed by an easy transition into Tasmania’s wilderness. The city gives contrast, from waterfront views and historic streets to lively markets, before the journey shifts into national parks and wide-open landscapes. If you want nature without managing every detail yourself, guided trips from Hobart keep the practicalities simple, so you can focus on walks, lookouts, and the best chances to spot wildlife. Hobart also works well for short breaks as well as longer touring, because many routes loop back to the city and make flight planning more straightforward. Days in Tasmania feel refreshingly varied, with rainforest and waterfalls one day, then alpine lakes, highland scenery, or a rugged coastline the next. For travelers who enjoy a social dynamic, many departures run as group tours, while some city-based styles use one base with day trips for a more settled rhythm.
