NZD $1,893Welcome to Tasmania! Your adventure begins in Hobart (or nipaluna in the language of the muwinina and palawa peoples, the Traditional Owners of the land on which Hobart is now located). You’ll have a welcome meeting at 11 am this morning, then you’ll head to Port Arthur (approx 1.5 hours) to visit this Historic Site – a former convict settlement with a horrific past where you’ll learn about the history of this former penal colony with an audio experience and a short boat cruise. After, check out Remarkable Cave and get a glimpse of the stunning beach scenery. Head to your waterside accommodation at Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula then join your group for a delicious, included dinner tonight and get to know each other a little better.
Please be on time today and checked out of any accommodation already, as you’ll head out towards the Tasman Peninsula straight after your welcome meeting. Find more details in the ‘Joining Point Instructions’ section of your Essential Trip Information. Spending an extra night in Hobart before your trip starts is highly recommended. Your travel time today will be approximately 2 hours. The walk to Remarkable Cave is Grade 3 due to the 115 steps down (and back up) to the cave. At certain times of year, the waves rush through the tunnel creating a thrilling spectacle for those lucky enough to witness it. Be prepared to get a little wet!
