G'day. My name is Matt. If you are interested in exploring the best of southern Tasmania, jump on a tour with me. I absolutely love driving around my beautiful home state and showing off the best local delights. Working at an Australian native animal sanctuary in my spare time, I can also give you an array of wonderful facts as you travel around. You may even see some wildlife on your journey including Tasmanian Devils, wombats, echidnas, and native birds. If you are interested in food, we will stop off at the best wineries, chocolate shops, cafes and restaurants, whatever takes your fancy. Remember, if you don't see a tour agenda you like, I can always customize one for you. In fact, the majority of the tours I guide are just that. Just message me! -Licensed Tour Guide -Licensed For-Hire Vehicle Operator

Overview of your Hobart tour

Step back into Tasmania’s convict past at Port Arthur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where preserved ruins, powerful stories, and dramatic landscapes bring Australia’s colonial history to life. Departing from your Hobart accommodation, journey across the Tasman Peninsula to explore one of the country’s most significant historic sites. Join a guided tour of Port Arthur, complete with a scenic harbour cruise, and uncover the lives, hardships, and resilience of those who lived and worked here. Wander through exhibitions, restored buildings, and hauntingly beautiful ruins that echo with history. Take in the rugged beauty of the peninsula, visiting natural landmarks such as Devils Kitchen and the Tessellated Pavement, where geology and coastline collide in spectacular fashion. Along the way, enjoy stops for local artisan produce, including a lavender farm and a boutique chocolate maker. After a day rich in history, scenery, and flavour, settle in for the relaxing return trip to Hobart.
