Bay Retreat Port Arthur

TAILORED SPECIFICALLY FOR CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS. The historical site isn't the only reason people flock to Port Arthur. Whilst docked here, don't miss the chance to explore outside of the sandstone walls of the historic site. The Tasman Peninsular offers so much! Picturesque landscapes, spectacular rock formations, breath-taking views of some of the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere and so much more. A good half-day trip isn't a great trip without the accompaniment of fine local produce, which Tasmania is known and loved for. Which is why we will take you to the Blow Hole where you can purchase fresh local seafood in a spectacular setting. We will also call into the Port Arthur Lavender Farm and Federation Chocolate where you can treat yourself if you have a sweet tooth!

This is a transfer from Port Arthur Historic Site back to Hobart for participants on the Three Capes Walk. Transfer is on our Sight seeing Day Tour coach so there will be a stop at Pirates Bay Lookout and The Chocolate Foundry on the return transfer

Port Arthur can seem a very different place after sunset, full of mystery and intrigue. Join a lantern-lit walking tour to experience the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site by night. After sharing the hidden side of the convict settlement for more than 20 years, Port Arthur remains Australia's 'must-do' ghost tour experience. Rich storytelling and pathways through darkened ruins and heritage buildings reveal bizarre occurrences during Port Arthur's history, baffling and alarming convicts, soldiers, residents and many of our visitors today. The 90-minute tour covers a distance of two kilometres. Due to the limited access through the dark recesses of our heritage buildings, the Ghost Tour is not suitable for people with restricted mobility and is not wheelchair accessible. Port Arthur Ghost Tours operate after dark every Wednesday to Sunday (except Christmas night). Departure times change throughout the season so check the website for details. Tours are limited to 25 people, bookings are essential. Port Arthur Ghost Tours operate in most weather conditions, so make sure you’re prepared for the conditions.
