Day Tour — FAQ
What does the Port Arthur day tour from Hobart include?
Pick-up in Hobart, the drive south-east to the peninsula, entry to the Port Arthur Historic Site and free time to explore the grounds and buildings — general admission usually includes a harbour cruise. Inclusions are tailored and quoted per enquiry — get in touch.
How long is the drive from Hobart to Port Arthur?
About 90 minutes each way, roughly 100 km south-east across the Tasman Peninsula. We handle the driving so you can enjoy the scenery, and can pause at Eaglehawk Neck on the way if time allows.
How much time do you get at the historic site?
A day tour gives you several hours at the site — enough for the grounds, the Penitentiary and Separate Prison, the church and the Memorial Garden, plus the harbour cruise. Add the Isle of the Dead if you have longer.
Is the tour private?
We specialise in private and tailored touring built around your group, dates and interests — see private Port Arthur tours. Tell us your plans and we’ll design the day.
How much does it cost?
Because every trip is tailored to your group and inclusions, we quote per enquiry rather than list fixed prices. Site admission and cruise details can change, so we confirm current details when you enquire.
