Remarkable Cave and the Tasman Peninsula area is stunning!
A 5 minute walk will take you down to the cave, which appears different in summer and winter, there is also a great new viewing platform above the cave with sweeping views of the Southern Ocean and the towering cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula.
For walkers there is an easy short walks along the cliffs to Mt Brown...choose how far you want to walk! I would strongly suggest spending 3 hours at Port Arthur and 1 hour visiting here as an option on the tour

Using Tripadvisor for a trip trip to Port Arthur Tasmania Australia. Reservations made online with confirmation email soon after however another email stated pending but nothing more than that remark. Email also stated three days required before final confirmation so I was confused to say the least. On the third day there was no confirmation And no email. To be on the safe side I purchased a ticket through another vendor 24 hours before I was supposed to leave on the Tripadvisor tour. Four hours before the alleged tour through Tripadvisor was to begin. I received an email that the tour was canceled! Thankfully I had purchased a tour the night before. Emails requests were not returned through Tripadvisor until the final email a few hours before the trip was to commence. For this reason I will never use Tripadvisor for a tour! On over 20 tours taken in three months time,in Asia and Australia, I had not one problem with any other tour! Subsequently, I am spammed by TripAdvisor for tours of Australia some three weeks after I left the country and there seems to be no end in sight. They need to get their act together in my opinion.

1. Make it quite clear in your brochures that its a 11 seater bus very uncomfortable. 2. Don't dump your passengers off at Richmond at 8.30am when the town is closed and point to a bridge with instructions to meet me there in 30 minutes 3. Its a trip to see Port Arthur we were given instruction to randomly stroll around when there was a free guided tour. Take the tour and start at the beginning not at the end. 4. This was the highlight of our trip, 2.5 hours at Port Arthur not enough. 5. Don't answer your phone of have a conversation on the phone when driving paying customers. 6. Stick to the guided tour and historical chater, no political views or complain about rules and regulations. 7. Please clean the vehicle' windscreen so you can see through the windscreen when driving into the sun.

Had a great day, everything was nicely paced, and got to visit Richmond early, so had some great photograph opportunities. Mark the tour guide, was great and very funny, kept us laughing the entire way through. Definitely worth the money. Would recommend this tour.

Generally I thought the tour was good value as it covered Richmond port Arthur and parts of the Tasman peninsula. We weren’t guided at Port Arthur but we could have joined one. We wandered around on our own which was pleasant but not informative. The site was beautiful but some re-enactment of events as occurs in other sites would have been interesting. We had about 2 hrs there. We went to the unzoo which was disappointing. I love the concept but I would have been furious if I’d paid $36 to see one devil feeding and a few reclining kangaroos. Fortunately it was only a few dollars more than the standard tour. We could have had less time at Richmond and more at Tasman peninsula walk or included a winery. Mark was quite funny at times but I can see it could be too much ‘commentary ‘ for some. I was very appreciative of the drop off at the airport. Overall a better option than driving yourself probably.
