Description

Set off from Hobart on an action-packed day to the Tasman Peninsula, where the Southern Ocean has carved dramatic sea cliffs, arches and caves. Stretch your legs on the Waterfall Bay clifftop walk, one of Tassie’s Great Short Walks, and meet Tasmanian devils at the Unzoo. Then explore the Port Arthur Historic Site, including a harbour cruise around the Isle of the Dead. Visit Pirates Bay, Waterfall Bay, Tasman Arch, and the famous Devil’s Kitchen, ticking all the best views off the list. Enjoy a trip to the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo to get up close and personal with these iconic critters in a feeding frenzy. Admire the feisty creatures with one of the most powerful bites in the animal kingdom. Seize the chance to feed wallabies by hand, attend a Birds of the Bush presentation, and learn about local wildlife from the Unzoo’s staff, before heading off to explore the Port Arthur Historic Site. Arrive in Port Arthur and discover the impeccably preserved ruins offering a chilling glimpse of life as a Tasmanian convict. Explore this World Heritage open-air museum, including a relaxing harbor cruise around the Isle of the Dead and fascinating site talks. Finally, head over to Richmond, a historic village filled with quaint stone buildings, visit the old-fashioned lolly shop, and Australia’s oldest bridge. Discover this sandstone beauty built by convicts and thought to be haunted before driving back to Hobart.
