Hobart Shore Excursion: Port Arthur Historic Site

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. Port Arthur is up next, where impeccably preserved ruins offer a chilling glimpse of life as a Tasmanian convict. Spend around three to four hours exploring this World Heritage open air museum, deemed an inescapable prison your visit here will unveil the grim and violent history of the early Australian Penal system.  Your visit includes a complimentary harbour cruise around the Isle of the Dead and fascinating site talks. We return directly to Hobart and drop you off the Cruise Terminal/Hobart waterfront.
