Port Arthur Tours

The convict past is alive and well in Tasmania. For those interested in history, culture or just exploring the natural wonders of this island state you can’t go wrong with a day tour that includes an overview of Port Arthur – one Australia’s most notorious prisons from 1833 to around 1916 as well as being important site for Australian penal reform during this time period. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to take scenic photographs at many other sites including beaches, rainforest walks and wildlife spotting before ending your trip back where it all began!

Join a guided walking tour to learn about the history, many restored buildings and ruins

Coming south east from Hobart, there is a whole new world to explore. Pirates Bay has dramatic natural rock features that will stun you and the Eaglehawk Neck part of your journey offers breathtaking views of Norfolk bay. Take some time at Port Arthur after arriving for an introductory tour so you can get familiar with this expansive site before exploring it on your own terms during leisure hours! After touring in Port Arthur take a short harbor cruise and pass by Isle-of-the Dead where many souls are buried when they died due to penal punishment or were just too sickly upon arrival that would not have survived had they stayed here anyway.
