The journey, in full
Travel with us from Hobart to the Tasman Peninsula, where the might of the Southern Ocean has carved spectacular caves and arches into solid rock. Meet Tassie’s coastline at its rugged finest. From Pirates Bay Lookout, it will take your breath away. First up is a trip to the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo. Tasmanian Devils are carnivorous marsupials that can only be found in Tasmania. They look like a small bear and are just as feisty, with one of the most powerful bites in the animal kingdom. You’ll get up close and personal with these iconic critters in a snarling feeding frenzy! You can also feed wallabies by hand, as you learn about the local wildlife from the Unzoo’s passionate staff, before heading off to explore the Port Arthur Historic Site. Port Arthur is up next, where impeccably preserved ruins offer a chilling glimpse of life as a Tasmanian convict. Explore this World Heritage open air museum, including a complimentary harbour cruise around the Isle of the Dead and fascinating site talks. A devilishly good day out. We return directly to Hobart and drop you off the Cruise Terminal/Hobart waterfront.
