About this tour
Explore Hobart's waterfront, heritage quarters and cultural landmarks aboard an open-top double-decker bus. Choose between 24 or 48-hour tickets, then hop off wherever takes your fancy—Salamanca Place, Battery Point, the Cascade Brewery or Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Stay upstairs for sweeping city views or hop down for a closer look. Ninety minutes covers the full loop, but you set the pace.

What to expect
Board at any of the 20 stops and travel the loop at your own rhythm. The top deck gives you unfiltered views of Hobart's Derwent River, historic Battery Point architecture and the city skyline; the lower deck offers shade and climate control. Informative recorded commentary plays in your chosen language. Expect 90 minutes for the full circuit, but most people break it up—jumping off to wander Salamanca's galleries and restaurants, then catching the next bus through.
