Experience Hobart's cultural triumvirate — the subterranean Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), the convict-era sandstone grandeur of Salamanca Place, and the panoramic wilderness summit of Mount Wellington — in complete privacy with a local expert guide.
What to expect
Your private guide collects you and navigates MONA's labyrinthine underground galleries — a $75-million private collection of provocative, world-class art built into a Derwent River sandstone cliff. From there, Salamanca Market's Georgian warehouses and artisan producers offer the taste of authentic Hobart life. The finale is the summit of Mount Wellington (1,271m), where the entire Derwent estuary, Bass Strait, and the Tasmanian wilderness spread below you in every direction — a view that consistently silences guests. Your guide's insider knowledge of hidden laneways and local providores sets this apart entirely.
Good to know
MONA is closed Tuesdays — confirm your port day against this. The summit of Mount Wellington can be snow-capped year-round; bring a warm jacket regardless of the season. Private vehicles mean no waiting for groups and flexible all-aboard timing — discuss your ship's schedule with the operator at booking.
