Departing Hobart
Scroll down to Price Panel ...

 

This small group tour uses first class accommodation and in 3 nights/4 days gives you an excellent introduction to Tasmania.  You will feel cared for and relaxed with a private tour manager, and with a group size between 2 and 10 you'll feel that you are exploring Tasmania with friends.  If English is not your preferred language, German, French, Spanish and Italian speakers can also be catered for on separate departures. 
   

Luxury Tasmanian Snapshot - General Information and Itinerary
Because the tour departs at 8.00 am and returns around 6.00 pm, you'll need to be in central Hobart the night before and probably the night after, too, depending upon your ongoing arrangements.  We can arrange the extra nights for you - see Hobart hotel options, including the Hotel Grand Chancellor, Hobart used for the first two nights of the tour and so a convenient choice.

Be sure to include warm clothing, swimwear and good walking shoes!
