About this tour
This six-hour Hobart tour pairs native wildlife encounters with Coal River Valley wine country. You'll spend time at Bonorong Sanctuary meeting Tasmanian devils, kangaroos and wombats, take in Mt Wellington's vistas, then settle in at Pooley Wines for lunch and tastings. Small groups (max 20) move at an unhurried pace with a local guide who knows the region inside out.
Highlights
- Hand-feed and photograph Tasmanian devils and wombats
- Mt Wellington panoramic views across Hobart and surrounds
- Pooley Wines lunch with matched tastings, Coal River Valley
- Award-winning wines from a family-run historic vineyard
- Expert local storyteller guide throughout
What to expect
You'll start at Bonorong, where handlers let you get close to native animals—think Tassie devils up close, not behind barriers. The sanctuary feels intimate rather than theme-park-like. Next, Mt Wellington gives you proper sightseeing views to orient yourself with Hobart's layout. The afternoon shifts to wine country; Pooley's sits deep in the valley and lunch arrives with a glass included, plus time to taste their range. Your guide fills gaps with local knowledge and genuine stories about Tasmania, not rehearsed patter.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for Bonorong and Mt Wellington. Bring a light layer—Tasmania's weather turns fast, even on good days. Prams and strollers work fine; service animals welcome. All fitness levels manage this comfortably. No additional food or drinks included beyond lunch and the wine glass.
