About this experience
Begin your day at Iron Creek Bay, feeding and interacting with friendly alpacas, peacocks, sheep, and ducks. Next, head to Blue Lagoon Oysters for an unforgettable tasting of Tasmania’s premium gold lip oysters harvested fresh straight from pristine waters, paired with local wine or cider. Spend your afternoon at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site, where you will enjoy a harbour cruise around the Isle of the Dead and Point Puer, followed by a walk among the beautifully preserved sandstone ruins. Please choose your package option: The Standard Tour includes a visit to the stunning Remarkable Cave. Alternatively, you can choose the Upgrade Option, which replaces Remarkable Cave with a spectacular 1.5-hour Cape Raoul Wilderness Cruise to marvel at towering vertical cliffs and deep sea caves (the cave is omitted to ensure catching the boat on time). Please note that the Cape Raoul Cruise upgrade requires a minimum of 3 days' advance booking to secure your seats.

From Hobart: Port Arthur Day Trip with Wild Animals: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does From Hobart: Port Arthur Day Trip with Wild Animals cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Hobart: Port Arthur Day Trip with Wild Animals take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.
Is From Hobart: Port Arthur Day Trip with Wild Animals worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Hobart: Port Arthur Day Trip with Wild Animals?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Hobart: Port Arthur Day Trip with Wild Animals suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Hobart: Port Arthur Day Trip with Wild Animals?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Hobart: Port Arthur Day Trip with Wild Animals start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hobart?
+
On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Maria Island Cruise and Guided Walk Day Tour with Lunch and Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hobart?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hobart?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
