G’day, I’m Josh, and I’d love to show you around Hobart! I’m a storyteller at heart, with a deep love for Tasmanian and Australian history, good food, cold beer, and great company. Whether it’s the convict past, the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, or the best spots for a local brew, I bring the stories of this city to life with a mix of humour, insight, and local knowledge. Having lived and worked around Australia in my former career as a radio host and around the world in my role as a marriage celbebrant today, I’ve settled in Tasmania, captivated by its charm, its people, and, let’s be honest, its top-tier whisky. Whether you’re here for the history, the pubs, or just a good yarn, I’ll make sure you see the best of Hobart in a way that’s fun, relaxed, and full of memorable moments. Licensed and authorised to run tours in Tasmania including in the National Parks, and also to drive passengers. I'm also a Commonwealth Authorised Marriage Celebrant in case you wanted to tie the knot while you were in town!

Overview of your Hobart tour

Experience the natural majesty of Kunanyi/Mount Wellington on this carefully paced half-day tour. Journey from Hobart's historic harbor through temperate rainforest to breathtaking alpine vistas 1,271 meters above sea level. Designed for comfort and accessibility, this tour showcases Tasmania's most iconic mountain with minimal exertion required. My Kunanyi/Mount Wellington tour offers the perfect introduction to Hobart's magnificent backdrop mountain. You'll ascend through distinct ecological zones while your knowledgeable guide shares insights about the mountain's geology, flora, fauna, and cultural significance to both Aboriginal Tasmanians and European settlers. The journey features two main stops: a relaxing morning tea break at the historic Springs area with time for a gentle forest walk, followed by the spectacular summit experience with its panoramic views extending across southern Tasmania.

Your Hobart tour itinerary

- Morning pickup from your Hobart accommodation - The first stop is at the historic Springs area (720m elevation) for morning tea and specialty coffees and teas from the renowned Lost Freight Café. Guided short walk to Sphinx Rock Lookout for spectacular views over Hobart. Time to explore the information shelter and learn about the mountain's ecological zones. - Then we journey to 1,271m the summit, stopping briefly at remarkable viewpoints - Panoramic photo opportunities with views to the Wellington Range, Derwent Valley, Bruny Island, and the Southwest Wilderness with free time to absorb the alpine atmosphere and remarkable vistas. As we ascend I have some great recommendations for lunch venues featuring local Tasmanian produce, beers, and wines, and can drop you there, back to your accommodation, or the airport.
