Hobart cruise shore excursions.
Macquarie Wharf 9–11 hours alongside Australia
Hobart is one of the easiest ports in Australasia — ships berth at Macquarie Wharf, a flat five-minute walk from Salamanca Place, the Saturday market and the catamaran to MONA. Tasmania's compact geography means major sites are all within 90 minutes' drive.
