We can also recommend and help you at every step with our expert knowledge of Tasmania.
How much do you charge?
Our base rate is $150 per person, per day for groups of four or more. For smaller groups of one to three persons, the minimum daily base rate is $550. Please note that our base rate does not include entry fees to attractions; however, all our tours are private tours. Touring rates can sometimes vary depending on the itinerary, high or low season or specific tour request and will be quoted at time of booking.
Do you only operate a certain tour on a certain day?
Heart of Tasmanian Tours offers tours tailored to your schedule. Simply book, pay, and select your preferred date, time, day, and Hobart Day Tour itinerary or Multiday Tour request. Provided we are available, we will conduct the tour exclusively for your group.
How many people can you carry per tour?
Our largest vehicle, a 12-seat minibus, can accommodate up to 11 passengers. Across our fleet of three vehicles of varying sizes (5-seater, 8-seater, and 12-seater), we can transport a maximum of 22 people across our three vehicles in tandem.
Do you still run a tour with only one or two people?
Certainly, we offer tours for really small groups of one to three people. The cost is our minimum rate of $550 per day, not including additional entry fees or national park charges. If you are satisfied with our minimum rate, we would be delighted to accommodate you.
Do you include entry fee’s to attractions?
At Heart of Tasmania Tours, we prioritize flexibility and choice for our guests. You have the option to exclude all attractions from your tour with us and pay upon arrival, or we can incorporate them into our Multiday Tours for a more comprehensive experience. For our Hobart Day Tours, all attractions and national parks are included by default so you don’t have to worry.
Are there any other extra costs?
The quoted cost of your tour may vary based on the type or specific requests or season, potentially including additional expenses such as accommodation fees for the tour guide on multi-day tours, extended hours for special requests, ferry expenses, tourist attractions and national park fees. Should your personalised tour incur any of these additional costs, they will be incorporated into the quote provided for your itinerary upon inquiry or booking.
Can we charter a special trip?
Absolutely, you can! We frequently accommodate requests for unique, custom tours, multi-day excursions and transfers. We offer bespoke experiences like sunrises and sunsets, and we’re even equipped to pursue the Southern Lights chase, although witnessing them is a matter of luck and cannot be assured. Reach out to us today, and we’ll strive to turn your special request into an unforgettable experience!

Terms and conditions of our flexible itinerary’s?
Heart of Tasmania Tours allows you the customer, to have the ultimate flexibility in building, designing your ideal day tour and making on the fly changes to your itinerary while on tour with us. We will always endeavour to as much as humanly possible, meet the needs of you and your group and the itinerary you have requested. However we will not be held responsible, for the following reasons that may result in our day tour / multiday tour with you needing to be changed or changed completely based on circumstances beyond our control.
- Very limiting weather conditions.
- Unavoidable road closure’s.
- Unsafe conditions, bush fire, ice, snow, extreme wind & rain, etc….
- Limiting time factors where the itinerary in question has not been provided by us and therefore is impossible to complete in one day or as written.
- Unavoidable closure of attractions and or food & drink establishments where by, there are external factors beyond our control.
- Unadvisable / unrecommended changes to the original itinerary on the day of the tour booking, including whilst on tour. Whereby, the end result of the tour because of your own changes is then deemed an unpleasant or not an enjoyable experience by you and/or other passengers at the end of the tour.
