The day runs about 9 hours, with roughly 90 minutes at Mt Field, 80 minutes at Bonorong, 90 minutes in Richmond and 40 minutes on the summit of kunanyi / Mt Wellington. You are dropped back at your pickup point or anywhere in the Hobart CBD.

Tours run in all weather, and your guide may change the order of stops for weather or safety, so cloud on the summit can mean visiting Mt Wellington first thing instead. If the operator cancels a departure, you can move to another date or take a full refund, and our guide to when to visit Tasmania helps you pick your season.

Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund. No refund applies if you miss the departure, join after it leaves or leave the tour early, so travel insurance that covers cancellation is a smart move.

More about this tour.

Most Hobart day trips make you choose between waterfalls, wildlife, history or the mountain. This one, run by local small group operator iWander Tasmania, fits all four into a single loop, so in about nine hours you see the tall forests of the Derwent Valley, the farmland of the Coal River Valley and the whole city from the top of kunanyi / Mt Wellington.Your guide collects you from central Hobart between 7:30 and 7:50am and heads up the Derwent Valley to Mt Field National Park. You get around an hour and a half here, on an easy walk through giant ferns and towering swamp gums, some of the tallest flowering trees on the planet, to the tiered cascade of Russell Falls.Next it is across to the Coal River Valley and Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, where you spend about 80 minutes with Tasmanian devils, wombats and a mob of kangaroos more than happy to eat out of your hand. Then comes Richmond, a Georgian village of sandstone buildings and Australia's oldest stone bridge, built by convicts. Lunch is yours to choose here, and a Tassie scallop pie is never the wrong call.The day wraps up on the summit of kunanyi / Mt Wellington, looking out over Hobart, the Derwent River and southern Tasmania. The mountain makes its own weather, so if cloud is sitting on top your guide may move the summit to the start of the day to give you the clearest view. Liked having a local in the driver's seat? iWander also runs a Port Arthur deep history tour led by a convict descendant, and our guide to things to do in Hobart fills in the rest of your stay. Explore the day above, then check availability for your date.
