Port Arthur is a colonial-era prison for convicts, the largest prison in the
Southern Hemisphere in the 19th century, and one of Australia's best-preserved
prison relics. Its rich history and the beautiful scenery of the Tasman
Peninsula make it one of Tasmania's most famous tourist attractions. Almost
every visitor to Tasmania makes a point of visiting Port Arthur (admission not
included). On the way to Port Arthur Prison, we will also visit four of the
Tasman Peninsula's natural wonders: Tasman Arches, Devil's Kitchen, Chessboard
Rock, and Blowhole.
This morning, we'll first drive to Richmond, one of Australia's best-preserved
towns. Here, you'll visit Australia's oldest stone arch bridge, built in 1823,
and a Catholic church dating back to 1836. The town's old bakeries and dessert
shops are also popular with tourists. It was also a filming location for the
Hong Kong film "Once Again." Next, we'll visit Salamanca Square. In the
afternoon, we'll ascend Mount Wellington (1270 meters above sea level), a
superb vantage point offering panoramic views of Hobart and the surrounding
sea, a place once visited by President Xi Jinping. We'll also visit Tasmania's
famous oyster farm, where you can sample fresh Pacific oysters (optional, at
your own expense). During cherry season, we'll also pick and taste Tasmanian
cherries (optional, December-January season).
Tasmania's east coast is a dreamlike world. Blue skies, white clouds, colorful
waters, and vibrant reefs adorn the coastline, creating a breathtaking
spectacle. Wineglass Bay was voted one of the world's top ten beaches by the
American travel magazine Outside in 1999. However, Wineglass Bay is nestled
among mountains, its beauty hidden from view; visitors must climb to a high
vantage point and expend some effort to appreciate its splendor. The tour
includes a stop in the beautiful seaside town of Swansea, offering panoramic
views of Tasmania's east coast from various angles. (For driving safety, the
guide will not accompany you on the hike.)
In the morning, depart for Cradle Mountain, located at the northern end of
Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. It's a renowned hiking trail and
part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The beautiful Cradle
Mountain is serenely reflected in the tranquil waters of Dove Lake, a truly
stunning sight and a classic image captured by photographers. On the return
journey, pass through the town of Sheffield, where you can admire exquisite
murals. Hong Kong pop singer Eason Chan, and Chinese actors Li Chen and Zhang
Xinyu have all left their mural works here.
Airport pick-up/drop-off at designated hotel:
Airport transfer service: Airport transfer is provided on the last day of your
trip. We recommend booking a flight departing Hobart after 7:35 PM.
Transfer to city hotel: After the tour, you will be transferred to a
designated city hotel (Best Western Hotel, Hobart City Apartments, Crowne
Plaza Hobart).
Launceston, Tasmania's second-largest city, is a key gateway to northern
Tasmania. It boasts numerous Victorian buildings and exudes a historical
atmosphere. First, we will drive to the Swiss Village, enjoying the beautiful
scenery along the Tamar River. Alternatively, in December-January, we will
visit a famous lavender farm (admission not included). After lunch, we will
drive to the Cataract Gorge Reserve, just 15 minutes from the city center.
There, you'll find a 1904-built suspension bridge across the river, beautiful
Victorian gardens, the world's longest single-cable chairlift (optional), and
walking trails along the cliffs, where you can also see rare wild peacocks. In
the afternoon, we will return to Hobart from Launceston and visit the town of
Ross.
