Port Arthur and Richmond Day Trip
At the indicated time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Hobart. We’ll board a comfortable minibus, passing by Government House and the Tasman Bridge, then head into the scenic Coal River Valley. In this region, we'll explore local wine country and visit the historic Richmond Bridge.
Next, we’ll proceed to the Tasman Peninsula, surrounded by bushland, wildlife, and coastal landscapes. We'll navigate through the cliffs of Doo Town and arrive at Tasman National Park in Pristine Pirates Bay to see dramatic coastlines and rock formations.
We’ll then head to Port Arthur for a guided tour of this historic site. You can explore the area with an audio guide while having five hours to visit the Interpretation Center, Penitentiary, Commandant's House, Harbor Church, and the Port Church.
Following our time at Port Arthur, we’ll take a boat cruise through Carnarvon Bay to the Island of the Dead, discussing its history as a convict burial site.
After the boat tour, we’ll return to Port Arthur for free time to enjoy lunch. We suggest visiting Tasmania’s famous Chocolate Foundry for a treat.
Finally, we’ll return to your hotel in Hobart, arriving approximately 9 hours after the tour begins.
