Port Arthur and Richmond Day Trip

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

Next, we will continue towards the Tasman Peninsula, surrounded by bushland and coastal landscapes. We will navigate through the cliffs of Doo Town and arrive at Tasman National Park in Pristine Pirates Bay to witness the dramatic coastline and rock formations.

We will then head to Port Arthur for a guided tour of this historic site. You can explore at your own pace with an audio guide, having five hours to discover its history, including visits to the Interpretation Center, Penitentiary, Commandant's House, and the Harbor Church.

After our time at Port Arthur, we’ll board a boat for a cruise through Carnarvon Bay to explore the Island of the Dead, sharing the history of this convict burial site.

Following the boat tour, we’ll return to Port Arthur for free time to enjoy lunch on your own, and we recommend visiting Tasmania’s Chocolate Foundry. Finally, we’ll return to your hotel in Hobart, arriving approximately 9 hours after the tour begins.
