Port Arthur, Lavender, Tasman Nationalo Park, & Richmond

Port Arthur, Lavender, Tasman Nationalo Park, & Richmond village

From Australia’s highest sea cliffs to all things lavender, see the best of the Tasman Peninsula in one action packed day. 

Heading south from Hobart to the Tasman Peninsula, you'll find Tasmania's coastline at its rugged finest, where the Southern Ocean has carved spectacular caves and arches into solid rock.

Your morning is spent walking 300-metre-high clifftops, pausing at lookouts to watch giant waves crash against dolerite spires. Highlights include Pirates Bay, Waterfall Bay, Tasman Arch and the famous Devils Kitchen.

Next, a stop at Port Arthur Lavender, a local favourite where everything is lavender, you have time to stroll the Lavender trail or indulge in a morning tea from the lavender inspired café, before heading to the UNESCO World Heritage Port Arthur Historic Site.  Here impeccably preserved ruins offer a chilling glimpse into Tasmania's convict past. A complimentary harbour cruise around the Isle of the Dead is included.

Our last stop is Richmond, a historic village of stone buildings and Australia's oldest bridge.

We return to Hobart around 6.00PM
