Explore the rich history of the Port Arthur Historic Site, gaze in awe at the spectacular scenery of the Tasman Peninsula, and taste exquisite hand-forged chocolates and lavender-based produce.
Take a convenient shuttle transfer service from Port Arthur to Hobart. Travel in comfort on air-conditioned vehicles driven by a friendly local driver.
After pickup, set off on the journey to Port Arthur. Along the way, stop at Eaglehawk Neck’s Pirates Bay lookout and the Dog Line monument to soak up the scenery and take fantastic photos.
The next stop will have the mouths of sweet tooths watering as you visit the Tasmanian Chocolate Foundry. After the chocolate factory, explore the beautiful Port Arthur Lavender Farm. Discover unique handmade products made from Tasmanian Lavender and take a stroll around the scenic lavender trail.
Next, visit the Port Arthur Historic Site. Immerse yourself in the fascinating, rich, and dark history of the best-preserved penal settlement in Australia. Admission is at your own cost and the entry fee will include a self-guided audio experience and a 20-minute harbour cruise.
If history is what you came for, enjoy the full 4 hours exploring Port Arthur Historic Site. However, if you are up for one more experience, then you can hop back onboard the bus after 3 hours for a trip to the Remarkable Cave.
Just a short 8-minute drive away, be greeted with the spectacular vista of Maingon Bay. At the lookout, you can take in the exceptional views of Penguin Rocks and the bay.
Descend down the 115 steps to view the Remarkable Cave from a viewing platform where you will be surrounded by ancient sandstone cliffs. Return back to the historic site to pick up the remaining passengers and then return to Hobart in the late afternoon.

Wonderful tour. Very comfortable minivan, great commentary and a perfect amount of time to enjoy everything. Thankyou Andrew
My family and I enjoyed the lavender, Port Arthur and the Remarkable Cave. We found Steve’s commentary to be very interesting and had a wonderful day
The highlight of my trip! There was 5 passengers on the bus, so we had a very personalised tour. Food, travel guide and destination were perfect! I would highly recommend, definitely value for money.
Only tidbits of info by the driver was en route to Port Arthur - not during return journey. Didn't introduce himself or really engage with fellow travellers, even about the sites we were about to visit. Felt safe and the transport was superb. Overpriced tour on the whole. Misleading booking info re entry fee to Port Arthur - A$20 each was indicated but actual cost was close to A$50.

The driver of the bus was a very nice man and gave us a fantastic commentary on the way, stopping at several interesting places along the way. We even were able to see several seals sunning themselves on the rocks. Great Tour, highly recommended
