Port Arthur is a colonial-era prison for convicts, the largest prison in the Southern Hemisphere in the 19th century, and one of Australia's best-preserved prison relics. Its rich history and the beautiful scenery of the Tasman Peninsula make it one of Tasmania's most famous tourist attractions. Almost every visitor to Tasmania makes a point of visiting Port Arthur (admission not included). On the way to Port Arthur Prison, we will also visit four of the Tasman Peninsula's natural wonders: Tasman Arches, Devil's Kitchen, Chessboard Rock, and Blowhole.


  • DAY 2 – Richmond Old Town – Salamanca – Mount Wellington – Oyster Farm – Cherry Picking (Seasonal)

This morning, we'll first drive to Richmond, one of Australia's best-preserved towns. Here, you'll visit Australia's oldest stone arch bridge, built in 1823, and a Catholic church dating back to 1836. The town's old bakeries and dessert shops are also popular with tourists. It was also a filming location for the Hong Kong film "Once Again." Next, we'll visit Salamanca Square. In the afternoon, we'll ascend Mount Wellington (1270 meters above sea level), a superb vantage point offering panoramic views of Hobart and the surrounding sea, a place once visited by President Xi Jinping. We'll also visit Tasmania's famous oyster farm, where you can sample fresh Pacific oysters (optional, at your own expense). During cherry season, we'll also pick and taste Tasmanian cherries (optional, December-January season).


  • DAY 3 – East Coast – Swansea – Cox Bay – Honeymoon Bay – Wineglass Bay

Tasmania's east coast is a dreamlike world. Blue skies, white clouds, colorful waters, and vibrant reefs adorn the coastline, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Wineglass Bay was voted one of the world's top ten beaches by the American travel magazine Outside in 1999. However, Wineglass Bay is nestled among mountains, its beauty hidden from view; visitors must climb to a high vantage point and expend some effort to appreciate its splendor. The tour includes a stop in the beautiful seaside town of Swansea, offering panoramic views of Tasmania's east coast from various angles. (For driving safety, the guide will not accompany you on the hike.)


  • DAY 4 – Cradle Mountain – Lake Daphne – Mural Town

The beautiful Cradle Mountain is serenely reflected in the tranquil waters of Dove Lake, a truly stunning sight and a classic image captured by photographers. On the return journey, pass through the town of Sheffield, where you can admire exquisite murals. Hong Kong pop singer Eason Chan, and Chinese actors Li Chen and Zhang Xinyu have all left their mural works here.
