You'll be coming back for every drop at these Hobart distilleries. There's nothing worse than paying for what you believe to be some of Tasmania's finest gin or whisky and facing instant regret.

It would be rude for any Tasmanian to not have Bruny Island on their top 5 list of places to visit while in Tasmania. Bruny Island is an iconic location that you can't miss on your holiday. How long do you need on the island? A day at least. I wouldn't recommend going for a half day. First ferry on. Last ferry off. That's what I suggest, but that isn't always possible.
If you didn't end up hiring a vehicle (which we have a full guide on), you might want to instead book a guided tour that operates from Hobart, all transport inclusive.
