6-Day Tasmania Tour: Hobart, Bruny Island, Port Arthur

In the morning, we'll go up Mount Wellington to see amazing views of Hobart, Bruny Island, and the sea. You can take easy walks to places like Silver Falls or try longer ones if you're up for it.

In the afternoon, we'll hop on a boat for a cruise on the Derwent River. You'll see cool spots like the big Botanic Gardens, the fancy Government House on a hill, and the big Tasman Bridge that crosses the river.

Drive from Hobart to the quiet town of Kettering and catch a ferry to Bruny Island. Enjoy the island's beautiful beaches, granite cliffs, and the view from the Neck with waves crashing around you. On South Bruny, walk along Sandy Bay's beaches and feel the wind and waves around you.

Taste the island's best at Great Bay. Try fresh cheeses at Bruny Island Cheese Co., and fresh oysters at Get Shucked. Don't miss out on handmade chocolates and fudges from Bruny Island Providore, and taste local wines at Bruny Island Premium Wines, where the taste of the ocean meets your lips.

Head out to the Tasman Peninsula for a cruise along the stunning Tasman National Park coastline. Marvel at cliffs towering above the ocean, explore sea caves, and see waterfalls. Keep an eye out for dolphins, whales, and seals along the way.

Then, visit the Port Arthur Historic Site to learn about Australia's convict history. Tour the old penal colony, see the cells, and hear stories of the prisoners and bushrangers.

Finish the day back in Hobart, reflecting on the natural beauty and historical depth you've experienced on Tasmania's southern coast.
