What changes the price of a Hobart day out
A Hobart day out costs between A$12 and A$290 because each ticket covers different things.
Transport is the biggest gap. A self-guided Maria Island day needs the same-day return ferry at A$59 for adults, plus a Parks Pass. The A$235 Maria Island tour bundles ferry tickets, park fees, transport from and to Hobart and guided walks.
The Parks Pass is a separate cost for Mount Field, Maria Island and South Bruny. A Daily Vehicle pass costs A$49.15, covers up to 8 people for 24 hours and has applied since 1 July 2026. The Bruny Island lighthouse tour at A$280 includes a national park pass. Wellington Park on kunanyi/Mount Wellington has free entry.
On Bruny Island, a car under 6 m pays A$58.60 return on the car ferry until 30 November 2026, and A$67.30 from December to April. The A$280 tour includes the ferry, a morning tasting and a main course at Hotel Bruny. The A$290 coastal cruise day adds a three-hour boat trip, lunch and a guided bus from and to Hobart.
At MONA, most advance bookings add a fee of A$3.50 per transaction.
Which Hobart option fits your budget
Under A$20, Richmond Gaol costs A$12, and Richmond lies about 25 minutes by car from Hobart.
Between A$20 and A$60, Bonorong at A$37 includes a bag of kangaroo feed and daily keeper talks, the 24-hour bus ticket at A$50 suits a city day, and the Explorer Pass at A$55 takes you to the summit of kunanyi/Mount Wellington. MONA entry at A$45 and Port Arthur at A$55 fall in the same range.
Above A$200, the Maria Island walking day at A$235 suits hikers, the Bruny Island day at A$280 suits visitors who want lighthouse, lunch and hotel pickup in one booking, and the A$290 coastal cruise day suits anyone who wants three hours on the water.
