Enjoy a pickup from your Hobart hotel in the comfort of a luxury coach and travel southeast to the famous Port Arthur Historic Site. Cross Tasman Bridge and pass Pirates Bay and Eaglehawk Neck. Along the way, enjoy stunning views of the coastline as you travel through Tasman National Park. Stop at Tasman Arch and be amazed by the huge hole between the rocks known as Devil's Kitchen.

Arrive at Port Arthur Convict Site and join your guide for a walking tour with access to more than 30 restored buildings and ruins. Hear stories of the convict era and learn more about the early Australian settlement heritage. Visit the penitentiary, once a granary and flour mill, as well as the Commandant's House.

Later, join a cruise on Carnarvon Bay around The Isle of the Dead, where nearly 1,000 burials took place between 1833 and 1877. Walk around the island and gain an insight into the lives of the people who lived and died at Port Arthur. Leave the island behind and cruise back to the site where your return coach to Hobart awaits.
