Description
Join us for a fun and action-packed day out on the Tasman Peninsula. Explore, discover, and learn with our guides as we enjoy a variety of activities, walks, sightseeing, history, chocolate tasting and much more!
Today is action packed and fast paced, so we make an early start from Hobart and drive directly to the stunning Tasman Peninsula. This area has amazing history, fascinating stories, and spectacular scenery. It is also home to Australia's highest sea cliffs. We enjoy the panoramic views of the area from Pirates Bay Lookout which provides a great vantage here of the surrounding area.
Passing through Eaglehawk Neck and 'The Dogline' our Tour Guides will share with you some amazing history and stories of the area.
Then we begin one of Tasmania's 'Great Short Walks'. We follow a spectacular track, of around 2 km's along the Waterfall Bay cliff top. The walk takes around 45-60 minutes, is undulating, but categorised as an easy walk. The track concludes at the remarkable rock formations of Tasman Arch and Devil's Kitchen.
From here we will FALL you off for a short visit to the Port Arthur Lavender Farm. Enjoy a self-guided wander around the Lavender grounds, look over the Distilling Shed, and enjoy the free samples of the local handmade Lavender Chocolates and Lavender Fudge. Your guide will NEXT take you onwards to the Port Arthur Historic Site.
As we enter the Port Arthur Historic Site, there is a wealth of information and history to take in and you will have ample time to explore and discover the nooks and crannies with around 3 hours on site. 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. Discover the grim and violent history of the early Australian Penal system and get a sense of the isolation experienced by the convicts in this inescapable prison. With around 4 hours here, you have ample time to walk amongst the main penitentiary; see the solitary confinement cells and many more buildings in this World Heritage open-air museum.
On our return to Hobart, we make a stop at Federation Chocolate Factory, a small family-run boutique chocolate stop, with a variety of chocolate flavours to sample. Further along, we arrive in the late afternoon into historic Richmond Village. Meander the streets, stop for a coffee, visit the Lolly Shop and walk across Australia's oldest bridge still in use â€' a convict-built sand-stone bridge, reported to be haunted!
Finally, before we re-enter Hobart we stop for a fabulous view across Hobart from a local lookout. A picturesque way to return to the city
We FALL you back to your Hobart City accommodation around 6.00pm. (Airport Drop Offs around 5.00 - 5.30pm available only with arrangement at time of booking).
