Your experience on the Port Arthur & Lavender Farm Tour
Tasman Peninsula Scenery & Waterfall Bay
Set off from central Hobart and journey through the lush Tasman Peninsula. Marvel at vast blue waters seen from Pirates Bay Lookout, then step out for a guided walk across scenic clifftops to Waterfall Bay, where crashing waves meet sheer rock faces. This area boasts some of Australia’s most commanding sea cliffs and geological features carved by relentless ocean winds, offering photo opportunities among striking arches and caves.
Aromatic Lavender Farm Visit
Continue your journey to Port Arthur Lavender Farm, nestled between rolling hills and tranquil waters. Here, you’ll be surrounded by thousands of lavender plants blooming in shades of purple. Unwind with a selection of lavender-infused treats, such as high tea, lattes, scones and the signature lavender ice cream. Browse for locally produced soaps and specialty goods, all crafted using Tasmanian-grown lavender.
Historic Port Arthur Convict Site
The experience deepens at the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site. With an expert guide, uncover the complex past of this 19th-century penal colony by exploring well-preserved ruins, former prison buildings and rolling lawns. Learn about the convict journeys, prison escapes and day-to-day life through stories that blend drama with historical insight. An included harbor cruise around the Isle of the Dead offers unique perspectives on both the historic site and the serene natural setting, bringing stories of the past vividly to life.
Charming Richmond Village Finale
As your tour draws to a close, visit the charming colonial town of Richmond. Here, you can view Australia’s oldest bridge still in use, built by convicts and shrouded in local legends. Wander among quaint shops, sample sweet treats from the bakery or chocolaterie or simply enjoy a last stroll along the riverside before your return journey to Hobart.
