About this tour

Day one departs Hobart early to showcase Bruny's rugged cliffs, native fauna, and local seafood and produce. Day two ventures to the Tasman Peninsula for four hours at the historic penal site, taking in lookouts, lavender fields, and sea caves along the way. Both days include professional guidance and return transport from your Hobart accommodation.

What to expect
Day one starts early from Hobart (7:30 AM return 5:30 PM). You'll cross to Bruny Island to encounter its dual personality: sheltered bays and open ocean drama. Expect to spot wallabies and seabirds, walk accessible coastal trails, and sample local oysters or other produce from working farms and producers. Day two is a longer outing departing 9:30 AM. Four hours on the Tasman Peninsula lets you wander Port Arthur's ruins and buildings at your own pace after the guided introduction, then spot the Dog Line Monument and stop at scenic overlooks en route. The coach does the heavy lifting between sites.
Good to know
Lunch and drinks aren't provided either day—pack or budget for meals. Wear layers; coastal weather shifts quickly. The itinerary suits all fitness levels, though Day 1 involves some walking on uneven ground. Infants travel free on laps; prams are fine for easier sections.
