We walked around the Harbour and visited the City. Read Less

Took a ride on the hop on bus. Good overview of the town and surrounds. Weather was not very kind though. Read Less

So much to see ... started at the beautiful Botanic Gardens (too many highlights, but don't miss Pete's Patch - home of ABC TV's Gardening Australia); strolled past Government House; viewed ruins of the Hobart Zoo (where the last thylacine [Tasmanian Tiger] died in 1936); meandered through the city's plentiful parks and commercial centre before enjoying lunch at Salamanca.

Took the ferry to mona...great day out Read Less

You can feed the Kangaroos and get close to the Koala bear. Read Less

Great experience. Petted Kangaroos. Read Less

Went around on our own. Read Less

Booked a private tour that included Mt Wellington, Bonorong, and Richmond. The ship didn't offer anything that included all 3. Loved interacting with the kangaroos. Read Less

Went to MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) - very unusual, confronting but I enjoyed it. Ferry ride there is a bonus. Be prepared to get lost navigating around bu that's part of the experience. Walked around Hobart. Read Less

We arrived late 2-10pm and most stores closed 4-5pm which gave us nothing to do. Read Less

It was Christmas day so not much was opened in the capital city. We chose not to do an excursion here as we will return to do a few weeks road trip in the next couple of years. Hobart town and the Port area was very qaint and there were some lovely historical buildings to see. Read Less

Private tour with a friend who is a resident up to the top of Mount Wellington. Great views on a clear day. Read Less

Cascade brewery tour was not as good as last time Read Less

Went to the stunning MONA, enjoyed Hop On Hop Off tour of the city, Brooke St Pier, Salamanca market, ate at Fish Frenzy and found a new favourite beer - Moo Cow. Though Cascade remains a stunning choice and the pinot noirs here are not to be missed. Tasmania is so fresh and satisfying - even if only staying 8 hours. Read Less

Did an independent red hopon hopoff tour round Hobart and stopped at the Botanical Gardens which are spectacular. Highly recommend a visit here. The bus tour and commentary was very good Read Less

Short stop. Visited the Salamanca markets Read Less

We walked from the ship to the Salamander Markets-huge markets well worth a visit Read Less

We went on a walking tour found online. The day was hot but we saw what we wanted to see. A bonus was that we were not rushed and had the chance to talk to one of the locals. He has lived there for a most of his working life and he talked about the changes he had seen. Read Less

We've never been to Hobart before and probably won't be coming back anytime soon either. I wonder what's the fuzz about this place? It's a miserable small town with some random old buildings (meh- you get them pretty much anywhere) and the worst city planning possible which ensures that you always get one or two Uber-ugly 60ies or 70ies concrete buildings right next or behind the old pretty ones. Also lots of stinky unsightly industry in town and around the water inlet and many overpriced restaurants and cafés. Clearly a destination for an older crowd. The one big exception to all this was the MONA. What an amazing place and feels totally out of this world in this otherwise boring and rainy location! Almost worth the trip all the way to Hobart but definitely the only thing that would get me back here. The city itself- definitely Australia at its worst- pretty much any other city I've ever been to in this beautiful country has been more inspiring. And if you want nature, proper untouched amazing nature, then you're way better off in New Zealand so that doesn't count either. Meh. Read Less
