1Join Bruny Island Safaris for a full-day tour of Bruny Island from Hobart. Your tour includes National Park entry fees, return ferry fares and an exclusive guided tour of Cape Bruny Lighthouse. Spend time exploring the Cape Bruny Lighthouse Museum before a guided tour of the only Lighthouse open in Southern Tasmania. Learn about the incredible history of the area from our Bruny Island Lighthouse guide and enjoy the views from the Lighthouse balcony. Climb the stairs to the Truganini Lookout at The Neck for amazing views of Bruny Island. Your tour also includes time at Two Tree Point, a drive through Adventure Bay in search of the famous white wallaby and a stop at the iconic Bruny Island Bread Fridges. In the afternoon, you will have free time in Lunawanna, where you can purchase lunch at the local cafe. After lunch, we will visit some of the top food producers on the island, including Get Shucked Oysters, Bruny Island Cheese Co., Bruny Island Honey and Bruny Island Chocolate Co.
2Port 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.
3Get up-close and personal with the southern hemisphere’s highest sea cliffs and resident Australian fur seals. At sea level you’ll truly appreciate the scale of Australia’s highest sea cliffs, gazing up at 200-metre-high fluted rock formations, peering into natural sea caves, photographing the towering Candlestick, and searching for climbers on the Totem Pole - a sheer column famed amongst thrill-seeking rock climbers.
