About this tour
Explore two cornerstone Tasmanian destinations across two days from Hobart. Day one takes you to Bruny Island, where dramatic coastlines, sandy beaches and native wildlife share space with local producers and seafood. Day two focuses on the Tasmanian Peninsula—Port Arthur's convict heritage buildings, surrounding lookouts like Pirates Bay, and curiosities including a chocolate foundry and lavender farm. Includes guided transport, park passes and historic site entry.

- Port Arthur Historic Site with harbour cruise included
- Eaglehawk Neck lookouts and Pirates Bay viewpoint
- Tasmanian Chocolate Foundry and working lavender farm

- Four hours unguided exploration at Port Arthur

What to expect
Day one departs early (7:30 AM) for Bruny Island. Expect a full-day coach tour mixing coastal walks, wildlife spotting and stops at local food producers—bring cash for purchases. You'll return by 5:30 PM. Day two is a structured 8-hour excursion departing 9:30 AM. After a drive to the Tasman Peninsula, you get four hours to wander Port Arthur's ruins and grounds independently, then visit three or four roadside attractions (chocolate works, lavender farm, cave, lookouts) before heading back to Hobart. Both days involve significant coach time.
Good to know
Lunch isn't provided—pack or budget for meals, especially on Bruny Island where local eateries operate seasonally. Wear layers; coastal weather changes quickly. Day one suits all fitness levels but involves uneven ground. Infants travel free on adult laps; prams are manageable on both tours.
