"Tapanak" Hobart Townhouse

We head to the stunning Tasman Peninsula, home to Australia’s highest sea cliffs. Enjoy the panoramic views from Pirates Bay Lookout, and along the spectacular Waterfall Bay Clifftop Track. This is one of Tasmania’s “Great Short Walks”, around 45 minutes, concluding at the rock formations of Tasman Arch and Devil’s Kitchen. Next is the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo. We enjoy the action of a Devil Feeding. Hand feed the wallabies and walk amongst the local fauna and flora in the charming “Unzoo” setting. Just a short drive from here, we enter the Port Arthur Historic Site. Here you have around 2.5 hours to explore the site. Your entry includes a complimentary Harbour Cruise around the Isle of the Dead, ‘The Port Arthur Experience' a podcast that provides a fascinating introduction to the site, and complimentary site talks throughout the day led by Port Arthur’s expert guides . Discover the violent history of the early Australian Penal system and get a sense of the isolation experienced by the convicts in this “inescapable prison”. On our return , we arrive at historic Richmond Village. Meander the streets, stop for a coffee and walk across Australia’s oldest bridge. We arrive in Hobart around 6pm.
