Discover the history, scenery and flavours of the Tasman Peninsula on a flexible day trip designed to give you more choice in how you spend your day.

Departing Hobart at 9:30 AM, we'll head towards the Tasman Peninsula, stopping along the way at some of the region's most interesting sights. Take in the spectacular views from Pirates Bay Lookout, discover the fascinating history of the Dog Line, and make a stop at Foundry Chocolate for a taste of some local Tasmanian goodness.

From there, you have the option of a 30 or 60-minute visit to the Lavender Farm before continuing to Port Arthur.

We'll arrive at Port Arthur Historic Site around 11:40 AM, with entry to the historic site included. You can then choose between three or four hours to explore, giving you the freedom to spend your time the way you want.

Choose the four-hour option if you want plenty of time to explore the convict ruins, historic buildings, harbour and surrounding grounds at your own pace.

Prefer to see a little more of the Tasman Peninsula? Choose the three-hour option, which gives you time to explore Port Arthur before visiting Remarkable Cave. It's a great way to combine Tasmania's convict history with some of the dramatic natural scenery the peninsula is famous for. Parks Pass fees apply for Remarkable Cave.

After your time at Port Arthur, we'll begin the journey back towards Hobart, with one more stop that showcases another side of Tasmania.

We'll stop at Blue Lagoon Oysters in Dunalley, where an Australian oyster-shucking champion works. Watch the skill involved and, if you wish, sample fresh oysters or other cold seafood. Grab a seat at the picnic tables, enjoy the relaxed surroundings and wind down after a day of exploring the peninsula.

This tour is ideal for travellers who want to experience Port Arthur without being locked into a one-size-fits-all itinerary. Whether you want to spend more time exploring the historic site, visit Remarkable Cave, enjoy a short or longer stop at the Lavender Farm, or finish the day with fresh Tasmanian seafood, you choose the experience that suits you.
