After your cruise has finished, make your way to Tasmania's Capital City Hobart

Approximate Distance: 190 km | 118 miles   Total Driving Time: 2 hours 30 mins

Tasmania's capital city packs a lot of punch despite its small size. From exciting restaurants and exceptional wine to unusual cultural experiences and incredible scenery, Hobart is full to the brim with exciting things to do, see and taste.
 
A couple of Suggestions: Check out the MONA the Museum of Old and New Art - its highly recommended. If you are here on a Saturday a must-see is the Salamanca Farm Gate Markets or Visit Bruny Island (both amazing) - So much on offer!

Just to the south of Hobart is Bruny Island. At roughly the same size as Singapore and with a population of only 400 people, it is hard to find any more authentic food and wine experience than what is offered on the Island. 

Travel by ferry to the island, look out for seals and penguins as you sail. On the island, admire natural sights like The Neck and Truganini Lookout, and take leisurely walks to look for wallabies and other local wildlife. Discover the island’s food scene with tastings of cheese, chocolate, cider, and oysters, plus a lunch of local produce. An exclusive group tour of the historic Cape Bruny Lighthouse completes your experience.

Say farewell to Hobart today as you board your onward flight, taking with you the magical memories of a truly exceptional Tasmanian Honeymoon. We know you will enjoy your 9 Day Luxury Tasmanian Honeymoon. 

We hope you will return soon to discover even more highlights of this incredible Island.
