About Port Arthur
The Port Arthur Historic Site is a must-see for any visitor to Tasmania.
It is located in the south-east of the island state, approximately 96 kilometres or a 90 minute drive from the capital city, Hobart.
For those with limited time, it is possible to see the Site in a day tour from Hobart. Various companies offer coach and cruising tour options (see below). However, to fully experience the Historic Site and the spectacular scenery and fascinating cultural heritage of the surrounding region, spending a few days in the area is recommended.

Information for Cruise Ships
Situated on one of the most scenic harbours in Australia, Port Arthur Historic Site is becoming a popular destination for cruise ships in its own right. In recent years the Historic Site has welcomed many of the largest vessels cruising in Australian waters.
The sheltered deep-water harbour is more than sufficient to provide the largest cruise ships with a safe anchorage close to the Site. Access to the site is via ships’ tenders to our private, all-weather jetty.
