Icons Of Tasmania: Port Arthur And The Tassie DevilExplore > Australia > Hobart > Icons Of Tasmania: Port Arthur And The Tassie Devil
OverviewThis experience can only be had in Tasmania! Isolated from mainland Australia Tasmania will captivate the imaginative traveler with it's natural beauty, rugged coastlines, sandy beaches, mountains, islands and unique wildlife. This full day tour will showcase some of Tasmania's most iconic imageries. Beginning with a scenic drive to the Tasman Peninsula, we will make a stop at the stunning Pirate's Bay Lookout. Towering sea cliffs and a narrow isthmus make for dramatic views, and create the perfect setting for a penal community. A visit to the Port Arthur Historic Site provides a vivid encounter with Tasmania's convict past. Your introduction to this massive historic site begins with a one hour guided walking and a harbor cruise around the Isle of the Dead. You'll also have time to walk the grounds on your own. There are over 30 buildings, in ruins and restored and you'll have a chance to see everything from the main penitentiary to the solitary confinement cells, all revealing the grim and violent history of the early Australian Penal system. On the return we'll visit the Tasmanian Devil "Unzoo" where you'll have face to face encounters with animals found nowhere else on Earth! See the notorious Tasmanian Devil, hand feed Wallabies, and more!
