Gray Line Tasmania · Brooke Street Pier
A Gray Line day that shows you Hobart by coach tram in the morning, from Battery Point to the Rosny Hill lookout, then sends you up the Derwent for an afternoon at Mona. Pick it if this is your first time in Hobart and you want the city's story and the museum in one booking.
You meet at Brooke Street Pier for a 3-hour city tour by converted coach tram, with a driver guide and live commentary. The listing promises more than 40 historic sites: Sullivans Cove, Parliament House, Salamanca Place, Princes Park and Battery Point among them, then a short walk past the outside of the Cascade Brewery and the remains of the Female Factory. You cross the Tasman Bridge for the Rosny Hill lookout, with Hobart and kunanyi / Mount Wellington across the water, and finish with about 50 minutes in the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. The listing says other vehicles may be used for operational reasons.
In the afternoon you take the ferry to Mona, 30 minutes up the river, and about 3 hours of free time in the museum, per the itinerary. Mona's own advice is 3 or 4 hours for the galleries, so this is a proper visit, not a glance. You go underground with the O as your guide, and the return ferry lands you back at Brooke Street Pier at 5.30pm, per the listing. The whole day takes about 8 hours.
Included, per the listing: the 3-hour coach tram tour, the driver and guide, an entry ticket to Mona and the ferry. Not included: hotel pickup, and tips, which are optional. One tip: eat a good breakfast and keep a snack in your bag, because the city tour runs straight into the ferry and Mona does not allow BYO food.
Meet at Brooke Street Pier, 12 Franklin Wharf. Check the start time for your date on the booking page.

The 30-minute ferry up the river, then free time in the galleries. The ferry back lands at Brooke Street Pier at 5.30pm.
★★★★★What a wonderful way to spend a day im Hobart. Vic was extremely informative, friendly, funny and kind. We saw a platypus at Hobart Rivulet and learned a lot about many places around Hobart before it was time to catch the ferry to MONA - which was incredible. So glad we did this trip.
