DAY 5 (B,L) Tasman Peninsula to Hobart
For the truly adventurous an early morning walk to the sea cliffs for sunrise is an option. A great way to round off the trip is the Mt Brown / Remarkable cave walks. This leaves you with time to see many of the other natural wonders in the area before making your way back to Hobart, arriving at approximately 5pm. It is possible to conclude your tour at Port Arthur if you wish to spend more time to explore the World Heritage listed site. If you want to stay an extra day in Tasman Peninsula / Port Arthur area at your own expense we may be able to assist with transport and this can be decided during the trip.
