About this tour
Venture beyond Hobart to the Tasman Peninsula for a full day combining coastal drama and colonial history. A three-hour boat journey hugs the shoreline from Eaglehawk Neck to Port Arthur, revealing sea cliffs that tower higher than anywhere else in Australia, hidden caverns carved by the ocean, and native wildlife in their natural habitat. Follow your cruise with lunch and guided exploration of the peninsula's landmarks, choosing between the convict ruins of Port Arthur or the Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park.

What to expect
You'll depart Hobart and head south to Eaglehawk Neck, where you board a vessel for a three-hour journey along the peninsula's jagged coast. The boat moves steadily past monumental cliff faces, dips into sea caves, and gives you genuine chances to spot local fauna. You'll return to shore for lunch, then board a coach for guided touring of your chosen attraction—either the preserved convict settlement and ruins of Port Arthur, or the wildlife sanctuary dedicated to Tasmanian Devils. The day involves both water and land travel; expect to be on your feet during exploration periods.
