From Cruise Port: Hobart
Departing Hobart we head through the city to the Tasman Peninsula where we will make a short stop to admire the surrounding views at Pirates Bay Lookout. Here you get a glimpse into the surrounding landscape, and the highest sea cliffs in Australia, factors that were integral to the selection of the area as a convict settlement.
Our first major attraction today is the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo, where we we have timed your day so that you can encounter the snarling action of a Tasmanian Devil feeding. You will also be able to hand feed the Wallabies or relax and enjoy the local Birds of the Bush show. A great experience getting up and close and personal with many of our native wildlife.
Next we head to the Port Arthur Historic Site where you will have around two hours to explore the area. Your entry includes a complimentary Harbour Cruise around the Isle of the Dead and a guided walking tour with one of the Site's expert guides. You can walk amongst the main penitentiary [prisons], see the solitary confinement cells and many more buildings in this World Heritage open air museum.
Deemed an inescapable prison your visit here will unveil the grim and violent history of the early Australian Penal system. This fascinating day will give you great insight into what it was like to be sent to Van Diemen's Land as a convict.
We return directly to Hobart and drop you off the Cruise Terminal, city centre or the Hobart Wharf area as you please. Our return time is scheduled for 4.45pm - 5.00pm but always in good time for you to join your ship before sailing.
Please note that children under 5 are not permitted to travel.
