Tasman Peninsula

Spectacular Coast, Unique Historical Sites

Arthur Highway

Nearest Train: Seventy minute drive from central Hobart.

Phone: +61 3 6230 8233

Spectacular coastal scenery, great historical significance and tourist heaven best describe the Peninsula. The not-to-be-missed Port Arthur Historic Site, Bush Mill Steam Railway, Eaglehawk Neck Historic Site, Tasmanian Devil Park, World Tiger Snake Centre and Saltwater River are all within a short drive of each other. Three days would be ideal exploring time. With limited time try combining a visit to Port Arthur to immerse yourself in convict history, a stop at a wonderful coastal lookout, perhaps Eaglehawk Neck Hangliding Lookout, a walk in Remarkable Cave and then a pleasant drive along the B37 back to Eaglehawk Neck.
