Port Arthur and Richmond Day Trip

At the indicated time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Hobart. We’ll board a minibus and begin our journey, passing by Government House and the Tasman Bridge, then heading into the Coal River Valley. In this region, we'll explore the local wine country and visit the historic Richmond Bridge.

Next, we’ll continue towards the Tasman Peninsula, surrounded by bushland and wildlife. We’ll travel through the cliffs of Doo Town, arriving at Tasman National Park in Pristine Pirates Bay, with its dramatic coastline.

We’ll proceed to Port Arthur for a guided tour of this historic site. You may enhance your visit with an audio guide, allowing five hours to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the Interpretation Center, Penitentiary, Commandant's House, Harbor Church, and the Port Church.

After Port Arthur, we’ll board a boat for a cruise through Carnarvon Bay, searching for the Island of the Dead and learning about its convict burial history.

Following the boat tour, we’ll return to Port Arthur, where you’ll have free time to enjoy lunch. We suggest a visit to Tasmania’s Chocolate Foundry for a treat.

Finally, we’ll return to your hotel in Hobart, arriving approximately 9 hours after the tour begins.
