Nature enthusiasts can drive to the summit of Mount Wellington for panoramic views or explore the pristine beaches of Bruny Island. Hiring a Jeep enhances these experiences, providing comfort and capability as you navigate Hobart's hilly streets and venture into Tasmania's stunning national parks.


Discover the wonders of Mount Wellington

Explore the historic charm of Battery Point

Battery Point, one of Hobart's oldest and most picturesque neighbourhoods, is a delight to explore. With your Jeep rental, you can easily navigate the narrow, winding streets lined with colonial-era cottages and grand mansions. Stop by Arthur Circus, a unique circular park surrounded by historic cottages, or visit the Narryna Heritage Museum to step back in time. The area's elevated position offers stunning views of the Derwent River, making it a perfect spot for a scenic drive.


Immerse yourself in nature at Mount Field National Park

Mount Field National Park, Tasmania's oldest national park, is a testament to the island's diverse natural beauty.

The park's ever-changing scenery makes it a year-round destination, with vibrant autumn colours and winter snow adding to its allure.


Uncover the flavours of the Huon Valley

The Huon Valley, south of Hobart, is a food lover's paradise and a scenic wonderland. Your Jeep rental will come in handy as you explore the region's orchards, vineyards, and artisanal producers. Stop at roadside stalls for fresh apples, visit boutique cideries, or indulge in a long lunch at one of the valley's farm-to-table restaurants. The journey through the valley offers stunning views of the Huon River and the surrounding hills, making it a perfect day trip from Hobart.
