A relaxed motorcoach ride through the streets of Hobart and up to the summit of Mount Wellington begins this half-day adventure that also includes the beautiful Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Departing from the pier and commence your drive through the lively city streets to the summit of Mount Wellington. From the pinnacle, on a clear day, you'll see for miles up the Derwent Valley and down to the Southern Ocean with sweeping views of Hobart. The inlets, bays and hills of this beautiful city are spread out in a stunning panorama. You'll want to have your camera to capture all these glorious vistas. After descending the mountain, continue on to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Here, friends of the gardens will engage you on a guided tour of the grounds. The gardens are over 200 years old, and in addition to a diverse range of plants and blooms in native and exotic collections, the garden features a lily pond, themed enclaves and many interesting historical highlights to discover. Return to port with a camera filled with memories.
