A good full day out.

Published on Feb, 2025

We spent the whole day at the Port Arthur historic site and pretty much covered all the buildings. We put in over 10,000 steps and doing so equates to walking over 4 miles around the site, but the individual buildings were interesting and generally well signed and well interpreted. The 20 minute Harbour cruise was also Insightful, and with good commentary. The staff were very attentive and we particularly appreciated the fact that the café remained open until closing time at 5 PM which allowed my wife to have her fourth English breakfast tea of the day. It is not really necessary, unless you are especially interested in specific aspects, to buy any of the additional tours. We found that the audio guide and the on site interpretation was quite sufficient to take ourselves around the site and to understand what we were looking at without any difficulty. Although this is a two day pass, I’m not sure that we would’ve wanted to spend more than a day here, but a very full day we had nevertheless. I have seen comments about the pricing, it is a little bit on the expensive side at $48 per person but generally speaking I don’t think it is outrageous. The pricing in the café is premium, but that might be expected. We were impressed with the overall cleanliness of the facility at the visitor centre, and of the toilets, lockers, etc. Overall, definitely worth a good day out, but you would be advised if you are spending a single day to make sure you get there early, the site is open from 9 AM and we found it a relatively easy 90 minute drive from Hobart. There was plenty of parking at the venue.

Best historic site I’ve seen in Australia

Published on Feb, 2025

This is a must see if you’re in Tassie! The history at this site is incredible. Well worth spending the whole day but pack your walking shoes!

Make use of the 2 day pass

Published on Feb, 2025

This is a UNESCO world heritage site about 2 hours from Hobart. Make good use of the 2 day pass you purchase is the best advice you can get visiting this historic site to visit the many buildings including the penitentiary, separate prison and church. Learn from guides that are present at many areas at certain times of the day they are so knowledgeable. The remains of this village and historic site of a 19th century penal colony is certainly worth a visit. The entrance fee includes a sort boat trip around the bay, we upgraded the trip to allow us a visit to the tiny cemetery island that was really interest with the tour guide provided you got a terrific insight into a lot of the history of the colony not just the cemetery. The large museum with exhibits and historical records is excellent.

Must see

Published on Jan, 2025

Very impressive settlement showcasing a great historical establishment. The free harbour cruise was also interesting due to the commentary. There is a schedule of short talks at various points of interest which were useful to add to the information. Plenty of parking and a decent cafe. One of the best historical sites we have visited. Worth visiting a few other local attractions while in the area such as Tasmania Arch and Remarkable Cave.

Amazing historic site

Published on Jan, 2025

I was so thrilled that my elderly father with dementia & I were able to visit Port Arthur. I have family history here in the fact that my great, great grandmother was born in the Officers House as my great, great, great grandfather was a Prisoner Warden stationed at Port Arthur. The day we went it rained and so it was wonderful that the tickets are valid for two consecutive days so that we could return the following day, this of course cuts the ticket cost down immeasurably although what you make up for with the ticket is lost in the money you spend on petrol to get there. Yes, it is quite a hike from Hobart there and back two days running however I felt that it was well worth it. I was even recognised by one of the ticket checkers (I was wearing different clothing I can assure you), and then again by one of the drivers of the carts for non-ambulatory guests, which made me feel very welcome indeed and I thought that was great PR. I love history and I loved everything about Port Arthur. They have done such an amazing job of making it people friendly yet still authentic. The site has easy access to most buildings although my father didn’t climb the hill to many of the houses, and did fall over climbing a step to one of the houses on the flat. He is rather unsteady on his feet. We were offered a ride in the cart on two occasions without even asking for it which I felt was very caring service. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting this iconic historic site.
