Day 1 - Hobart / Port Arthur / Tasman Peninsula
Welcome to Tasmania! Your adventure begins in Hobart (or nipaluna in the language of the muwinina and palawa peoples, the Traditional Owners of the land on which Hobart is now located). You’ll have a welcome meeting at 11 am this morning, then you’ll head to Port Arthur (approx 1.5 hours) to visit this Historic Site – a former convict settlement with a horrific past where you’ll learn about the history of this former penal colony with an audio experience and a short boat cruise. After, check out Remarkable Cave and get a glimpse of the stunning beach scenery. Head to your waterside accommodation at Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula then join your group for a delicious, included dinner tonight and get to know each other a little better.
Please be on time today and checked out of any accommodation already, as you’ll head out towards the Tasman Peninsula straight after your welcome meeting. Find more details in the ‘Joining Point Instructions’ section of your Essential Trip Information. Spending an extra night in Hobart before your trip starts is highly recommended. Your travel time today will be approximately 2 hours. The walk to Remarkable Cave is Grade 3 due to the 115 steps down (and back up) to the cave. At certain times of year, the waves rush through the tunnel creating a thrilling spectacle for those lucky enough to witness it. Be prepared to get a little wet!
Activities:
- Port Arthur - Historic Site Visit & Harbour Cruise
- Tasman Peninsula - Remarkable Cave
Staying in:
- Hotel (1 night)
Day 2 - Tasman Peninsula / Hobart
This morning after breakfast, drive down the beautiful Tasman Peninsula, passing through the narrow sliver of Eaglehawk Neck. Stop at Tasman Arch, Devil’s Kitchen and the Tessellated Pavement to view the unusual rock formations. Head back to Hobart, where the vibrant Salamanca Markets await, ready to tempt you with everything from fresh produce to handmade crafts. Then, head out for a bush tucker experience with NITA Education – a local First Nations organisation working to inspire connection to their 50,000-year-old culture. Watch a Welcome to Country ceremony, then try some bush tucker and listen to their stories. Tonight, maybe head out with your group for dinner at one of the popular restaurants near the waterfront.
Your travel time today will be approximately 2 hours. Both Tasman Arch & Devil's Kitchen can be seen from the carpark, as well as from other viewpoints accessible on a 1km loop walk. The Tesselated Pavement viewpoint is only a few minutes walk from the carpark, and a few minutes further to access the beach via stairs. Please be aware that First Nations people have complex community obligations, and at times today's experience may be cancelled at late notice due to cultural commitments.

Then, drive into the Hartz Mountains wilderness, where you'll explore the remote and rugged place shaped by ancient glaciers on a few short walks. Next, head to Geeveston – a small township known for its forestry heritage, then continue up the Huon Valley and visit a cidery, where you’ll learn about the history of local apple farming in the valley, maybe with a few cider samples from the fourth-generation orchard (optional). Return to Hobart for your final night together.
Your travel time today will be approximately 3 hours. The kunanyi / Mount Wellington scenic drive this morning is weather-dependent. Your leader will choose the most appropriate short walks in Hartz Mountains National Park today based on the weather and your group.
