Port Arthur is just 60km South East of Hobart and is Tasmania's most highly visited tourist attraction. The settlement is best known as a penal colony but actually orginated as a timber station. Port Arthur peninsula is surrounded by water, a natural guard that was rumoured to be shark infested. From 1833 to 1853 it was home to the hardest of British and Irish convicted criminals.
It is highly recommended that visitors to Port Arthur participate in a guided tour to learn about the history of the area, as well as a harbour cruise and visit to Isle of the Dead. A full day tour package including informative transfers from Hobart, guided tour and river cruise is a great option. Prices are affordable and two/ three day packages are available for those who are interested in other tours from Hobart such as Wineglass Bay, Tassie Devils, Mt Wellington, Cadbury Factory etc.
