Your Experience

From the Historic Richmond to the Picturesque Tasman Peninsula

Embark on the Port Arthur Full-day Guided Tour that meticulously fuses Tasmania's poignant history with its arresting natural beauty. Your day commences when the Tasmanian driver-guide picks you up from your hotel for a scenic ride across the iconic Tasman Bridge, punctuated with enlightening tales about the region. You'll stop at the charming town of Richmond, home to the Richmond Bridge, bearing the echoes of its convict-built past.

Combining Dark History with Breathtaking Scenery

Next, you'll be mesmerized by the coastal vistas of the Tasman Peninsula, a haven of lush bushland and native wildlife. Your journey culminates at Port Arthur, where you'll traverse through the harsh lives of convicts at the interpretation center. As you absorb this intense history, refresh with a serene Harbour Cruise around the ‘Isle of the Dead’", an eerie yet captivating island that served as the final resting place for over 1,000 souls. If you opt for a walking tour on the Isle of the Dead, you’ll gain a more powerful insight into the personal lives and struggles of the convicts. The tour also offers you leisure time to explore the meticulously restored buildings like the Penitentiary, and if time permits, a visit to the Remarkable Cave, a natural spectacle carved by the sea. The tour is a perfect blend of intriguing history and adventurous exploration, promising an unforgettable experience for every visitor.
