Port Arthur Day Tour

We start with a tour of the city, Battery Point and Salamanca. Then we take a scenic drive to Richmond Historic Village and visit Bonorong Wildlife Park. You can hand feed kangaroos and see the famous Tasmania Devil along with many other native animals. This is our most popular tour incorporating great sightseeing and a history of Tasmania in a half day format.

Museum of Old and New Art Tour is a must for the Art lover. The museum is located within the Moorilla Winery on the Berriedale peninsular in Hobart. It is the largest privately funded museum in Australia. The museum presents antiquities, modern and contemporary art from the David Walsh collection. Walsh describes the museum as a "subversive adult version of Disneyland". We combine a trip to Mona with a tour of Hobart and surrounding regions. Whether it is a four hour or eight hour tour depends on what other attractions you wish to see. Talk to us about your ideas for the day and we will customise a tour.
