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

Witness one of nature's most spectacular phenomena with my exclusive Aurora Australis tour from Hobart. This special nighttime adventure takes you to optimal viewing locations when conditions are favorable, offering the rare opportunity to experience the mesmerizing Southern Lights dancing across Tasmania's dark skies. My Aurora Australis photography tour is a unique astronomical experience designed for both photography enthusiasts and those seeking to witness this natural wonder. When aurora activity is forecasted, I will transport you to carefully selected locations away from light pollution, maximizing your chances of viewing this elusive spectacle. Learn about the science behind the aurora while enjoying Tasmania's pristine night skies. Hot beverages and light refreshments keep you comfortable as you wait for nature's light show to begin. I will help you capture stunning photographs of this memorable experience.

Your Hobart tour itinerary

- Purely dependent on an aurora being forecast pickup time will depend on that. I'll whisk you away to the darkest nooks of Van Diemen's Land, away from the light pollution, aiming to get the perfect aurora sighting. - Note: This tour operates on a conditional basis, running only when aurora activity is predicted. Times are approximate and may be adjusted according to optimal viewing periods and seasonal variations.
