Airport Car Rental
The capital and most populous city of Tasmania, Hobart is a great place to visit. Not only an exciting destination in its own right, it can also serve as a gateway to the beaches, villages, and nature areas of the southern part of the island. Here are three of the most interesting things to see and do around Hobart:
- Antarctic attractions. Australia is usually associated with extreme heat rather than cold, but the southern part of the country, including Tasmania, is actually one of the main access points for Antarctica, and there are many attractions in Hobart that are dedicated to Antarctic research. These include the visitor’s center of the Australian Antarctic Division, the Mawson’s Huts Replica Museum dedicated to the expedition of the seventh continent by one of Australia’s most famous explorers, the exhibitions of ‘Islands to Ice’ at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens which houses many unique subantarctic plants. Tasmania is also one of the best places in the world to view the Aurora Australis, or the southern lights, with many companies in Hobart offering watching tours, especially during the southern hemisphere’s winter which lasts from June to August.
- Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Celebrating its 40th birthday in 2021, the Bonorong is dedicated to the protection of Tasmania’s unique and threatened species, as well injured individual animals. Visitors of the sanctuary can learn about the conversation efforts, as well as observe inhabitants like Forester kangaroos, wombats, koalas, and cockatoos. Located north of the city, the center can be reached in about 30 minutes.
- Forestier and Tasman Peninsulas. Two wild, fascinating areas just southeast of Hobart that can be easily reached by car, the peninsulas are great either for a day-trip or a longer, slower expedition. Sparsely populated and with a truly stunning coastline, they are home to attractions like the Tasmanian Devil Conservation Unzoo, a number of national parks, and former penal sites that have been turned into heritage destinations.

Tasmania and Hobart are excellent locations and people should do their own research to find the right places for their holidays - my children did just that!

We hired a Hyundai i30 for 5 days in Hobart, TAS. It was easy to drive, handled well and we had no issues doing day trips in this small car!
The kind of car anyone could drive, simple to just get in and go!

Easy drive from Hobart airport to Hobart. Visited Salamanca Market & Royal Tasmania Botanical Garden. Drove from Hobart to Bicheno - stopped at Richmond & Swansea. Stopped at Freycinet National Park & trecked to Wineglass Bay look out. Next drive was from Bicheno to Launceston via St Mary’s. In Launceston stayed at Penny Royal & walked Cataract Gorge, visited City Gardens & James Boag. Easy drive & drop off near Launceston airport where shuttle was there to take us to our terminal. The roads in Tassie are the best in Australia. I would highly recommend a self drive holiday in Tasmania.

Loved all of Tassie, took way too many clothes. Could write a book on how good everywhere was but particularly loved Port Arthur, Hobart, Cradle mt. Strahan and much more. B&Bs we’re brilliant.

Once you are out, line up asap. You will otherwise waste a long time just to get to the front of the queue with only one agent at the desk.
