Things to do in Port Arthur

The historic site of Port Arthur, free harbor cruises, the clifftop of Waterfall Bay, Devil's Kitchen, Tasman Arch, Pirates Bay Lookout, and Richmond Village are all worth visiting.

The driver and tour guide were very professional and friendly, and the time was allocated appropriately. Port Arthur has beautiful scenery and is a highlight, a must-see attraction.

It's a beautiful place, hard to imagine it was once the site of a prison, and the trip was very enjoyable. On our way back, we visited Richmond Bridge in Richmond Village, a peaceful and quiet environment.

Even though the strong wind at the summit messed up my hair in the morning, the day trip was still perfect. Port Arthur is scenic and historically significant, making for a great experience. The UNZOO experience deserves a perfect score – the kangaroos there are very active, not lazy at all. Feeding them felt like interacting with pets, which was wonderful. We also got to see the staff feeding Tasmanian devils, who were equally active and made their signature "devilish" sounds. Plus, you can feed native birds there too. The tour guide was very enthusiastic throughout the whole trip. Overall, this was a 100-point journey.

A great choice for those who want to relax, Tasmania is truly serene (not many people or cars). Wineglass Bay was just okay… but the hotel at Cradle Mountain was fantastic!

What I enjoyed most about this trip was the serene and peaceful alone time, where I could spend quiet moments with the Lord during an hour-long bush walk. The lookouts along the way were incredibly picturesque, especially at Devil's Kitchen. Port Arthur Historic Site was fascinating—vast and rich with history, offering so much to explore and learn. A must-try treat is the Valhalla Lavender Ice Cream at Sweet & Treats in Richmond Valley.

The itinerary is well-planned and perfect for travelers without a car. The tour guide provides informative commentary, the attractions are interesting, and the meals provided are good. Highly recommended!

Allow for a bit more time, as two and a half hours is barely enough to go around once. The harbor cruise is a must-do, it's free and takes about 25 minutes one way, but the boat is super cool.
