The 3 Best Historical Tours in the World

1.Tasman Island Cruises and Port Arthur Historic Site Day Tour from Hobart

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 477 reviews · from $236Our pick

Leave Hobart at 7:30am for a guided bus trip to the Tasman Peninsula, a three-hour Pennicott wilderness cruise, lunch, and three hours at Port Arthur. Expect open-air boat seating, sea cliffs, caves, seals and possible dolphins or whales. Guides may include Paul, Murray, Phil, Alan, or Daniel.

“The Tasman island cruise is worth it for sure! It gets cold on the way back, dress warm. If you're prone to seasickness, skip, but it depends on the sea conditions. We saw whales, seals, birds, and bottlenose dolphins but the highlight is just the dolomite rocks. Unbelievable”
