  • 5Great tour to see more of Port Arthur than just the historical site.

    There was a little bit of confusion about which bus we should be on, since there were two buses, but everything got sorted out and we had a nice time

About Port Arthur

Port Arthur is a former convict settlement on Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula, with ruined prison buildings among green lawns above a quiet bay.

Port Arthur stands on the Tasman Peninsula, south-east of Hobart, where a penal settlement operated between 1830 and 1877. Sandstone ruins of the penitentiary, a church without a roof, a model prison and officers' cottages stand among lawns and trees beside the bay. The site is part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage listing.
