Hobart: Mona Day Trip Like a Rockstar with 5-Course Meal｜Australia

At 10.15am, journey to Mona in the Posh Pit—the ferry’s lavish private lounge, bar and deck—devour complimentary canapés and beverages on the thirty minute voyage along the River Derwent.

On arrival, as you jump off the ferry, meet your Mona Host on the jetty landing, who will escort you to the Void Bar, introduce you to the bartender and get you sorted with a cocktail to fortify yourself for a quick plunge into the nearby galleries.

After some art, you’ll arrive in the museum’s Faro Bar and Restaurant for a feast from rockstar executive chef Vince Trim—including fancy matched drinks from Mona’s wine cellar and access to Event Horizon, James Turrell’s neuron-tingling light artwork.

At 3pm, your host will escort you to The Source—Mona’s temple to Tasmanian dining—for sweeping views, a final sip, and a special gift, before you head back underground. Suitably addled / prepared, you’ll explore David Walsh’s three-level subterranean collection of art and antiquities before slipping back onto the ferry (further snacks, drinks) and landing back in Hobart while the night is still young.
