What to expect

Enjoy a relaxed and scenic day exploring Port Arthur and the Tasman Peninsula with a friendly local driver. On the way down, you’ll stop at Pirates Bay Lookout for classic coastal views, visit the Dog Line monument at Eaglehawk Neck, and enjoy two local favourites—the Tasmanian Chocolate Foundry and the Port Arthur Lavender Farm.

At the Port Arthur Historic Site, your ticket includes entry plus a 20-minute harbour cruise. You’ll have up to four hours to explore the grounds, walk through the preserved buildings, and learn about the area’s convict history at your own pace.

After about three hours, those who’d like to see a bit more can join an optional side trip to Remarkable Cave. The dramatic cliffs and wide ocean views make it a rewarding short visit. Everyone meets back at the historic site at 4pm before returning to Hobart.

The trip was excellent. We stopped at an arch, the lavender farm, Port Arthur and went on the boat. We didn’t do the caves as my husband wasn’t feeling well in his feet. Someone else in the group did the caves and they said it was awesome. We stopped at Pirates lookout in the way home too. Port Arthur was an absolute highlight. I recommend trying the lavender latte too. Jodi’s driving was amazing and her commentary was top notch perfect! We would highly recommend this tour!

The day was exceptional with wonderful stops. Our driver Mark was very informative and knew a lot about the area and the history of Tassie. He was also very funny and engaging.
