Explore Port Arthur’s convict ruins, gardens, audio stories, site talks, and harbor cruise, with optional guided tours on Tasmania’s Tasman Peninsula.

“The site is huge. We booked a site visit and 11am cruise. Arriving at 10.30, we grabbed a coffee and headed down to the jetty. The cruise was informative and interesting. Back on land we started at the Dockyard and worked back onto the site. So much to see, with options for lunch, we took our own, leaving approximately 4pm. It was a full day of wandering considering we had a 1.5 hr return drive to our accommodation. Excellent day out.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 339 reviews · 10h 30m · from $233

Cruise Tasmania’s wild coast, spot seals and whales, then explore Port Arthur on a guided day trip from Hobart with meals included.

“The tour was amazing! A bit different from what I expected- the boat was smaller than I thought with the title being called Cruise. Passengers wear oversized red waterproof parkas and sit in an open boat that seats about 30 people. Water was very choppy the day we went. We saw tons of wildlife- seals, penguins, albatross, and more. Port Arthur was also very interesting and included a tour of the site. Our transport was comfortable and the driver provided a nice guide of the area we traveled. Well worth the money for this trip!”

“We really enjoyed this cruise from Port Arthur. We received a phone call exploring the whether conditions would prevent us from getting to the Cape and were given the option of going to another destination or rebooking for the next day. We rebooked because we really wanted to get to the Cape. We were so glad we did this because the Cape was spectacular and we got some awesome pics for our photo album. The best thing about this cruise was the two young fellas Drew and Hayden (hope I gig there names right, sorry if i didn't). They kept us entertained and made the trip extra fun!! Hayden had…”
