Overview

Looking to visit the multi-award winning UNESCO World Heritage Site Port Arthur? Want the added bonus of visiting some Tasman Peninsula highlights? Or simply just need transportation to the area? Then we have you covered!

Port Arthur and the Tasman Peninsula are a must see and one of Tasmania’s most popular tourist attractions. With its rich history and spectacular scenery on offer, it is easy to see why! Our popular tour allows you to experience it all. Jump aboard with one of our friendly, local drivers who will be keen to show you a fantastic day!

On route, we will stop at Eaglehawk Neck's Pirates Bay lookout and the Dog Line Monument, the Tasmanian Chocolate Foundry and the Tasmanian Lavender Farm.

Next will be Port Arthur historic site (Admission at own cost) where you can enjoy exploring the site and a harbour cruise (included in admission). Stay for the full 4 hours or jump back on the bus after 3 hours to visit Remarkable Cave and Maingon bay.

Pickups from 8 convenient locations around downtown Hobart begin 35 minutes prior to tour departure.

On route to Port Arthur, we will stop at Eaglehawk Neck’s Pirates Bay lookout and the Dog Line monument to soak up the scenery and have a photo opportunity or two! The next stop will have the mouths of sweet tooths watering as we visit the Tasmanian Chocolate Foundry. Following the chocolate factory, we will visit the beautiful Port Arthur Lavender Farm. Explore the unique handmade products made from Tasmanian Lavender and take a stroll around the scenic lavender trail. Up next is the Port Arthur Historic Site. Immerse yourself in the fascinating, rich and dark history of the best-preserved penal settlement in Australia. Admission is at own cost and entry fee will include a 35-minute guided walking tour and a 20-minute harbour cruise. If history is what you came for, enjoy the full 4 hours exploring the historic site. If you are up for one more experience, then you can hop back onboard the bus after 3 hours for a trip to the Remarkable Cave. Just a short 8-minute drive away, you will be greeted with the spectacular vista of Maingon Bay. At the lookout you can take in the exceptional views of Penguin Rocks and the bay. You can then descend down the 115 steps to view the Remarkable Cave from a viewing platform where you will be surrounded by ancient sandstone cliffs. We will then return back to the historic site to pick up the remaining passengers and then return to Hobart at 5:30pm.

Our tour to Port Arthur was the best tour we have experienced, Mark our driver made each passenger feel they were the only one on the tour, his knowledge of Tasmania, and historical facts was remarkable. When booking this tour we most certainly made the best decision. And would highly recommend Tassie Tours, not only to our friends, Face Book and your web site. Please give Mark our personal thanks.

I booked this trip as I was travelling solo and thought it would be a great way to see Port Arthur. It was a great day trip! Our driver was called Mark and he made the trip that bit better. He was very welcoming and knowledgeable, not only about Tasmania and Port Arthur but he knew a lot about the country I was from and the countries the other guests were from too! Mark encouraged conversion throughout the drive which was nice, especially being a solo traveler, because of this, I got to know a few people and we went around the Port Arthur site together. Mark arrived well on time. Port Arthur itself was great to see and learn about the history. We also stopped at the remarkable caves, lavender farm and chocolate shop which was nice to see too. Great trip and would definitely recommend, especially if travelling solo. Please pass the comments on to Mark as he deserves to be acknowledged for keeping us all entertained and informed.
