Mt Wellington & Richmond + Optional Alpaca Farm Visit (Self-Drive Tour)

Highlights of the Tour

Experience the best of Tasmania’s natural beauty and historic charm on our Mt Wellington & Richmond Self-Guided Tour. This unforgettable journey begins with a scenic drive up to the towering heights of Mt Wellington, where you’ll be greeted with panoramic views of Hobart, the Derwent River, and the rolling landscapes beyond. Standing 1,271 meters above sea level, the mountain offers a breathtaking perspective, with crisp alpine air and sweeping vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see.

As you take in the dramatic surroundings from the summit, you’ll feel truly connected to Tasmania’s wilderness, with rugged cliffs, lush forests, and distant coastlines all in view. This is a must-see destination for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to appreciate Tasmania’s stunning landscapes from the best vantage point.

After soaking up the beauty of Mt Wellington, the tour continues to the quaint and historic town of Richmond, where time seems to have stood still. Wander through charming streets lined with well-preserved Georgian architecture, explore local artisan shops, and visit the famous Richmond Bridge—the oldest stone bridge in Australia, built by convicts in 1825. Richmond is also home to St John’s Catholic Church, Australia’s oldest still-functioning church, adding to the town’s rich historical appeal.

Take the time to enjoy a leisurely lunch in one of Richmond’s cozy cafes or sample local wines from nearby vineyards. Whether you’re fascinated by history, architecture, or simply looking to unwind in a picturesque setting, Richmond offers something for everyone.
