After pickup, set off on the journey to Port Arthur. Along the way, stop at Eaglehawk Neck’s Pirates Bay lookout and the Dog Line monument to soak up the scenery and take fantastic photos.
The next stop will have the mouths of sweet tooths watering as you visit the Tasmanian Chocolate Foundry. After the chocolate factory, explore the beautiful Port Arthur Lavender Farm. Discover unique handmade products made from Tasmanian Lavender and take a stroll around the scenic lavender trail.
Next, visit the Port Arthur Historic Site. Immerse yourself in the fascinating, rich, and dark history of the best-preserved penal settlement in Australia. Admission is at your own cost and the entry fee will include a self-guided audio experience and a 20-minute harbour cruise.
If history is what you came for, enjoy the full 4 hours exploring Port Arthur Historic Site. However, if you are up for one more experience, then you can hop back onboard the bus after 3 hours for a trip to the Remarkable Cave.
Just a short 8-minute drive away, be greeted with the spectacular vista of Maingon Bay. At the lookout, you can take in the exceptional views of Penguin Rocks and the bay.
Descend down the 115 steps to view the Remarkable Cave from a viewing platform where you will be surrounded by ancient sandstone cliffs. Return back to the historic site to pick up the remaining passengers and then return to Hobart in the late afternoon.

Port Arthur Shuttle and Tasmania Sights
The driver of the bus was a very nice man and gave us a fantastic commentary on the way, stopping at several interesting places along the way. We even were able to see several seals sunning themselves on the rocks. Great Tour, highly recommended

Unexpectedly good experience
Being called "shuttle", we didn't expect much but got a very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable driver, convenient pickup location, and a few sufficiently interesting/picturesque stops along the way with engaging commentary. Given how painfully early most of such day trips typically are, this one is fairly civilised, starting at 9:30. Keep in mind that you still need to pay admission at Port Arthur ($48 at the time of writing) and that it is a large site, so to make it all within the time allocated, you need to be strict with the time you spend at each location. Also, the short cruise included in the admission, will eat around 40 mins of your time including boarding and disembarking, but is certainly worth it. All in all, an excellent experience.
