Tour Description
Departing your city hotel, we travel around the historic birthplace of this fascinating city - Salamanca Place, Constitution Dock and Battery Point before making our way across the Tasman Bridge to the historic convict village of Richmond.
Pausing briefly we visit Australians oldest Catholic church and take a stroll around the village before rejoining the vehicle to make our way toward Port Arthur. On the way we visit the tessellated pavement which is a unique rock formation disappearing into the sea. You will also wonder at the other natural attractions on the peninsula's rugged coast, such as Devils Kitchen
The settlement of Port Arthur was created to put fear and hatred into the minds of those unfortunate enough to be sent there.
After a light lunch our guide will personally escort you around the ruins of the settlement telling you tales of the hardships suffered by the convicts.
We will end this amazing experience with a short cruise around the harbour on a modern catamaran.
We arrive back at the hotel at around 5:00pm.
