This introductory drive by air-conditioned motor coach will reveal why Hobart is known as the "Jewel of the South".

From the pier, you'll proceed past the historic warehouse complex of Salamanca Place, which now houses atmospheric shops and restaurants.  You'll also see the elegant 19th-century mansions and quaint cottages of Battery Point.

Atop Mount Wellington, nearly four thousand feet above sea level, there are impressive views over the city and southeastern shores.  You'll then pass Australia's oldest brewery in route to Queens Domain and the Royal Botanical Gardens.  There will be time for a leisurely stroll through this wonderland of nature before you continue to Rosny Hill Lookout.  Capture unparalleled views of the magnificent harbor and gleaming Crystal Symphony before reboarding your coach.

This delightful overview of Tasmania's capital will conclude back at the ship.

 

Approximately 3 hours.
