Hobart Waterfront Jaunt

Take a horse drawn carriage tour past the historic sandstone buildings of Salamanca Place (home of the famous Salamanca Market), before passing by Parliament House and onto Franklin Wharf and return. This tour is a great tour for young families and is a really affordable and fun way to see the main sights.

These tours run for an hour and take in Salamanca Place and the charming streets of historic Battery Point. You'll be immersed in the atmosphere of 19th Century Hobart and it's easy to imagine life in Georgian and Victorian times when you ride in our vis-a-vis carriage driven by the carriage driver in authentic livery. You'll be able to appreciate the beauty of this well preserved area from a perspective that can't be reproduced by driving in a car or even walking. Learn some of the fascinating history as we travel through this unique district.

The ultimate way to see historic Hobart. This tour lasts for 1.5 hours and we take you through the charming streets of Battery Point and then through our exciting Waterfront. To top of your experience, you receive one copy of the hard cover pictorial book, Discovering Hobart per couple, to take away as a memento of your experience. We'll tell you all about the architecture and characters of colonial Hobart who made their homes in the once not so glamorous Battery Point. Today, Battery Point is our most exclusive suburb and a small cottage can set you back in the millions. Our pioneers would have never imagined it! Winding our way through the narrow streets of Battery Point, we then make our way down to the Waterfront which was the first point of settlement in Tasmania. Historic buildings abound here too but the pace is now more modern and exciting. Come through this area at any time of the year and you are surrounded by excited visitors, fishing boats and ocean going yachts. Your tour culminates back on the iconic Salamanca Place, a beautifully preserved Georgian streetscape, now home to arts, crafts, food and wine.
