  • Port Arthur Historic Site
    Travelers will explore the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Port Arthur Historic Site with a knowledgeable local guide. During the visit, guests will walk through preserved prison ruins, historic buildings, and landscaped grounds while learning about Australia’s convict history, daily life of prisoners, and the site’s role in the British penal system. Highlights typically include the Penitentiary, Separate Prison, Guard Tower, and waterfront views across Mason Cove. The guide will provide historical context, stories, and explanations throughout the visit, allowing travelers to gain a deeper understanding of Tasmania’s colonial past.
  • Tessellated Pavement
    Travelers will visit the Tessellated Pavement, a unique coastal rock formation famous for its natural geometric patterns resembling a tiled floor. Guests will walk along the shoreline to observe how erosion, salt crystallization, and wave action have shaped the sandstone into rectangular formations over thousands of years. The guide will explain the geological processes behind the phenomenon and point out the different pattern types found across the rock surface. This stop also offers scenic coastal views and opportunities for photography, especially during low tide when the patterns are most visible.
  • Devil's Kitchen
    Travelers will stop at Devil’s Kitchen, a dramatic coastal rock formation shaped by powerful ocean waves and long-term erosion. From the viewing platforms, guests can look down into the narrow rock chasm where waves surge and crash below, creating strong natural sound effects that inspired the site’s name. The guide will explain the geological forces that formed the surrounding cliffs and blowholes, as well as the significance of this rugged coastline within the Tasman Peninsula. This stop provides striking ocean views and a brief walking opportunity along clearly marked paths.
