Port Arthur & Tasman Peninsula: A Descendant’s Perspective
Join a full-day tour led by a guide with 17 convict ancestors. This isn't a shuttle service; it’s a deep dive into the human stories of Van Diemen’s Land.
The Journey:
Richmond (30m): Explore an early convict settlement where forced labor built the iconic stone bridge and village.
The Natural Prison: Visit Pirates Bay and the Tessellated Pavement. See how Tasmania’s rugged coast acted as a physical and psychological wall.
Port Arthur (4h): Entry included. Go beyond the ruins to hear personal stories of daily routines, punishment, and survival.
Coastal Wonders (30m): Witness Tasman Arch, Devil’s Kitchen, and the Blowhole—nature’s boundaries that made escape impossible.
Lavender Farm: An optional, peaceful contrast to the peninsula's harsh history.
Ideal for travelers seeking a meaningful, narrative driven connection to the landscape.

5.00The maximum group is 11 people so we can go to many places and not waste time waiting. Richmond Village is beautiful and quaint. Because I had to leave before 9am, I couldn't get into Old Hobart Town. Port Arthur is wonderful. Guide Jarrod gave us a lot of interesting and useful information, and managed the time appropriately.

5.00Our great tour guide Scott fit so much into the day from the first stop at lovely Richmond, many scenic nature spots both on the way to and from Port Arthur, the Port Arthur lavender farm and even stopping for people to buy fresh oysters on our way home. We also had a boat trip at Port Arthur. Scott was knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and good humoured. We had a fun and informative day. Highly recommended.
A great day out.

5.00Our tour director Jarrod made the trip very enjoyable. He kept us informed about the local landmarks and history and took us to some excellent viewing sites. We had plenty of time at Port Arthur to explore and appreciate the historic buildings and wonderful surroundings. Jarrod picked us up and returned us to our hotel making the outing very smooth. We would highly recommend the tour.
Really happy we chose this tour!

5.00Really happy we chose the small bus tour. Jarrod, our driver, was knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. We saw everything we wanted, and more! Had the right amount of time at each stop with clear information when we got there. Couldn’t have been happier how the day went. Highly Recommended!

5.00Myself, my husband and our adult son did the tour together. Our guide Paul was brimming with local information and you could tell he really enjoys running these tours. We stopped at some amazing places like the tessellated pavement, Devils Kitchen (our absolute highlight) and the Tasman Arch. It was interesting and enjoyable to see Port Arthur in person and learn more about the history of this very significant place. Richmond is such a lovely little town with lots of things to see so we went back the next day to spend a bit more time there. The only down side for this tour is that as you have to travel quite a distance to get to Port Arthur from Hobart you don’t get to spend much time in each location. All in all we had a great day.
An interesting look into history
