Satisfying trip to Port Arthur

Published on Jan, 2025

It is a huge site so you have to be able to walk everywhere. I have mobility issues but luckily small shuttle buses will take you to different parts of the site. I found the time there allowed me to enjoy the boat cruise and tour of Dead Island. Very informative guide made this well worthwhile. I explored the main prison are but missed having a guide. The courts and guard house were also nearby. I then needed a break so got shuttle to the New Gaol and Asylum where there is a cafe. Both these sites are very informative and reflect changing ideas about incarceration. The other civilian houses are very pretty now. I also visited the Memorial area. More sombre and reflective feel behind the hedge. I felt I needed a second day to really learn about the site but focusing on key parts made it a very satisfying experience for me. The stops and commentary along the way were excellent and I learned a lot about Tasmania’s past and present.

Phil, our tour guide, gave us the history of Port Arthur on the ride from Hobart to Port Arthur. He oriented us inside the grounds and left us to explore before we boarded the Harbour tour. David gave us a humorous explanation of a few significant people buried on the Isle of the Dead. It lightenedd the mood.

Great day out

Published on Nov, 2024

We done 2 tours with Grays Port Arthur and Hobart, both Allan and Colin were great operators both very knowledgeable and the buses clean, nothing was a problem on either tour. Highly recommend

Great rainy day at Port Arthur

Published on Nov, 2024

Great trip. Included some side stops too. Our driver Rod was an excellent guide in the bus. You do a self guided walk at Port Arthur.

Highly worthwhile tour in Tassie
