Take a horse drawn carriage tour past the historic sandstone buildings of Salamanca Place, passing by Parliament House and over to the IXL building and cruise ship terminals. Waterfront jaunts last for around 30 minutes. You’ll get a wonderful view of Mt Wellington as it looms over the city and also see the bustling waterfront up close. As we drive past a Hobart institution, Mures, make sure you wave to all the bystanders!

You’ll learn how the Hobart waterfront of today is much different to the 1800s and why IXL was such a big part of that change. A really great tour for families and a wonderful evening tour. The lights of the city are truly magical.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Experience the romance of a bygone era by taking a leisurely carriage ride through the unique historic areas of Battery Point, Hobart Waterfront and Salamanca Place.

The carriage tours immerse you in the colonial past of Hobart. Drawn by two beautiful horses, the carriage is a stunning replica of 19th century vis a vis (face to face) carriage.

Feel like royalty travelling with the top down, enjoying the sunshine or close the top in inclement weather and still enjoy the sights. Your driver and groom are also dressed in 19th-century livery to complete the picture.

What is more special than to treat your loved one to a romantic carriage ride, complete with champagne and chocolates? They can work with you to make your first date, proposal or wedding anniversary a truly memorable occasion. In fact, whatever the occasion, they can be there.

Weddings are a specialty and they can promise you a truly wonderful addition to the best day of your life. They will work with you every step of the way to ensure the finer details are just perfect.
