Below are some of our suggestions for top spots to visit during your time in Tassie. All distances are in kilometres from our Hobart Airport car hire branch.

Hobart City (21.5km)

Bay of Fires (265km)

Ready for a road trip? Jump in the car and head north for 3.5 hours until you reach the Bay of Fires. You’ll be greeted with iconic orange-hued beaches, pristine white sand and a rugged coastline. Make a weekend out of it by camping out overnight, then enjoy exploring the area by foot, bike, car, or even boat!

Freycinet National Park (179km)

Who wouldn’t want to visit Tasmania’s most famous beach while in town? Wineglass Bay is fun for all, with a plethora of walking tracks and breathtaking views to revel in after a 2.5 hour drive.
