Tours and Activities

There's lots to do in Hobart, whether your tastes be towards the historic, the cultural, the botanic, the sweet or the grisly. Listed here are just some of the of the organised tours and activities available. If you prefer to be a free spirit, how about hiring a bike and cycling the historic routes, taking a sailing trip in the harbour or simply walking the streets and imagining the seafaring activities that established this maritime city?

When the physical activity all gets too much, take a trip to the chocolate factory or one of the whisky distilleries for some well-earned sustenance. Or sit back in the exquisite Theatre Royal and admire the building as much as the show.
