OVERVIEW OF THE TOUR
Discover the story of Port Arthur and learn about the UNESCO World Heritage listed site!
After a morning departure from Hobart, we will make our way to the Tasman Peninsula. You can sit back and relax, admiring the Tasmanian wilderness, as we make our way towards the destination. Once we arrive at the Port Arthur Historic Site, you are free to explore!
You can upgrade your transportation booking to include entry to the Port Arthur Historic Site. This is a great option to save time so that you can enter the historic site upon arrival. Then, you have six hours to check out the historic buildings, heritage gardens, ruins, walking trails, and restored houses. You can choose to learn about the buildings from the information signs placed throughout the site, or you can enjoy a self-guided audio experience. The audio guide allows you to explore the historic site with informative commentary right from your own mobile device.
The entry ticket also includes the Port Arthur Gallery. Here, you can explore the interactive displays and uncover the long story of Port Arthur. You can also enjoy a 20-minute harbour cruise with your entry ticket. Hop on board and view the expansive historic site and its surroundings from the pristine waters surrounding the Tasman Peninsula.
After spending six hours exploring the Port Arthur Historic Site, we will depart at 4:45 pm for a 6:30 pm or 7:00 pm arrival back in Hobart.
