Hobart Waterfront Jaunt

Tour

Image

Take a horse drawn carriage tour past the historic sandstone buildings of Salamanca Place, passing by Parliament House and over to the IXL building and cruise ship terminals. Waterfront jaunts last for around 30 minutes. You'll get a wonderful view of Mt Wellington as it looms over the city and also see the bustling waterfront up close. As we drive past a Hobart institution, Mures, make sure you wave to all the bystanders!

You'll learn how the Hobart waterfront of today is much different to the 1800s and why IXL was such a big part of that change. A really great tour for families and a wonderful evening tour. The lights of the city are truly magical.

Trot Through Time

The ultimate way to see historic Hobart. This tour lasts for 1.5 hours and we take you through the charming streets of Battery Point and then through our exciting Waterfront. To top of your experience, you receive one copy of the hard cover pictorial book, Discovering Hobart per couple, to take away as a memento of your experience. We'll tell you all about the architecture and characters of colonial Hobart who made their homes in the once not so glamorous Battery Point. Today, Battery Point is our most exclusive suburb and a small cottage can set you back in the millions. Our pioneers would have never imagined it! Winding our way through the narrow streets of Battery Point, we then make our way down to the Waterfront which was the first point of settlement in Tasmania. Historic buildings abound here too but the pace is now more modern and exciting. Come through this area at any time of the year and you are surrounded by excited visitors, fishing boats and ocean going yachts. Your tour culminates back on the iconic Salamanca Place, a beautifully preserved Georgian streetscape, now home to arts, crafts, food and wine.

From $150 to $180 per person

You'll be able to appreciate the beauty of this well preserved area from a perspective that can't be reproduced by driving in a car or even walking. Learn some of the fascinating history as we travel through this unique district.
