Salamanca Jaunts

A perfect tour for young families.  


A jaunt around the iconic Salamanca Place, past majestic Parliament House and onto Franklin Wharf and Constitution Dock.  Photos mandatory!  Salamanca Place is one of the best preserved colonial streetscapes in Australia.  In the 1830s, it was a busy wharf, where ships tied up to be loaded and unloaded of their cargo for the new colony.  Today, the sandstone buildings of Salamanca contain art galleries, restaurants and a theatre precinct.  Salamanca is also home to the famous Salamanca Market, held every Saturday since 1972.

A great way to experience the magic of a carriage ride for young and old alike.  Children are welcome to pat our horses and maybe even sit up with the driver for a photo.  A carriage ride will create a memory for your family that will last a lifetime.

Salamanca Jaunts run for around 15-20 minutes.  Why not add a Unicorn Option to help celebrate a little one’s birthday?

Prices are for a minimum 2 adults on this tour.  If you have 1 adult and 6 or less children, please choose the 2 adult minimum.  Please choose the Group Price if you have between 4-6 adults.  Group price is per person and limited to 6 adults (depending on size) on this tour.  Families welcome.  Child price is for children under 15.  Children under 2yo, travelling on laps, are free of charge.

We depart from the end of Salamanca Place, opposite the Ball & Chain Grill.  After 3pm on Saturdays, as the market is packing up, we depart from Brooke St Pier (where the MONA ferry leaves from).  Please contact us if you are unsure of where your tour will depart. 

Departure times are approximate and can be affected by weather, traffic, road closures, and other factors out of our control.  If we are expected to depart more than 10 minutes after our scheduled departure time, we will advise you.

Weather:   If the weather forecast is looking severe, we will make a decision to cancel early in the day and let you know by phone by 9am.  We always do our best to run our tours but, this is Tassie and the weather can change without warning.  If there are only light showers, we can raise the roof of the carriage to keep you dry.  However, we may need to cancel your tour at the last moment if the weather turns suddenly.  Please see the General Terms & Conditions for our Cancellation Policy.

What to Bring:  It’s always a good idea to bring a jacket (waterproof preferably).  We do have a blanket to keep you warm but it can be cool at any time of the year.  We also recommend a hat and sunscreen, especially in summer.  Tassie sun is notoriously strong and you will get sunburnt very easily.  Definitely bring along a camera!  For the grown ups, if you’re thirsty, we can order drinks for you.  We prefer if young children do not eat and/or drink on the carriage
