You will fly out of Sydney to Hobart, arriving at Hobart Airport, which is about 18 kilometers from the city center.
They offer SkyBus, as affordable and convenient as it gets: the service operates departures every half an hour so that passengers are picked up/dropped off at six city main stops. You can pre-book your tickets online in advance or from the e-kiosks situated alongside the luggage carousels of each destination terminal.
Alternately, take a taxi, rideshare or rent-a-car. Transportation cost and time: Taxi/Car sharing: About $35 for the 20-minute ride. SkyBus shuttle: About less than $19.50 for the journey that takes approximately 25 minutes.
Sydney Airport is 8 km from Sydney CBD and is accessible by:
Train-air train: This takes 13 minutes to the airport, using an Opal Card or any credit card, which simply and easily pays for it.
- Shuttle or Public Bus: This will be available for cheaper travel.
- Taxi/Uber: The journey takes 25 minutes, though this will extend during peak times.
Virgin Australia flights from Hobart depart from Terminal 2. If you have check-in baggage, kindly allow at least 60 minutes prior to your flight.
Pack according to the season. Here is a quick guide:
Summer: light clothes, sunscreen, and a jacket that can be put on in case it gets cool in the evening.
Winter: One should wear warm clothes: a heavy jacket, a wool scarf, and comfortable boots.
Spring and Autumn: Waterproof jacket, in layers and good shoes.
Remember to bring an umbrella, your hiking shoes, headlamp, and memory cards; you will be wanting to take a million photos of the beautiful sceneries of Hobart, no doubt.
