Information about the REAL ID

 

Starting May 7, 2025, travelers aged 18 and older will need a REAL ID-compliant document to fly domestically. Acceptable documents include state-issued driver's license or ID cards with the REAL ID marking (a star or similar), or alternative forms of identification like a valid passport.

 

To get a REAL ID, you must visit your local DMV and provide the documents required for this. It can take about 2 weeks or 15 business days to process this. Plan now to get your REAL ID if you want to fly domestically.

Day Trip, Group Tour

Visit the Port Arthur Historic Site, a compelling and dramatic reminder of Tasmania's convict past and the early settlement of the Colony of Van Diemen's Land, now Tasmania.

Port Arthur Historic Site

This excursion is rich in visual history and will teach you about Tasmania's convict heritage. The day will give you a compelling and dramatic insight into Tasmania's convict past and early settlement. Interpretive and interactive presentations at the Port Arthur site help bring to reality the harrowing life of the convicts sent to Van Diemen's Land.

The journey into this fascinating part of history and heritage begins when you meet your knowledgeable driver guide and board your vehicle to head out across the Tasman Bridge and onto the Coal River Valley, which is a renowned area known for its production of wine and surrounds the historic town of Richmond. You'll have the opportunity to drive through this quaint town and make a short picture stop at the famous Richmond Bridge. Passing through suburbs and towns bordering on picturesque bays and inlets, you will head onto the Forestier Peninsula, home to pristine Pirates Bay and Eaglehawk Neck. You'll make a stop at Pirates Bay to admire the wonderful views, rugged coastline, and striking rock formations.

Play "The Lottery of Life" at the interpretation center at Port Arthur, and follow the life of a convict. Take a guided walking tour of the site, with access to over 30 restored buildings and ruins. See the penitentiary (once a granary and flour mill), a separate prison, the Commandant's house, the church, and more. Your experience includes a harbor cruise around the Isle of the Dead on Carnarvon Bay, the burial place for those who died while in Port Arthur.

Your driver/guide will offer you an optional tour to Remarkable Caves. Sitting tranquilly amongst English oaks and gardens, Port Arthur is a harsh contrast to the beauty of the Tasman Peninsula.

On the journey back to Hobart we will have a short visit at The Chocolate Foundry were you can purchase a sweet treat. At the end of the tour you will be dropped dockside in Hobart with memories and a personal insight into Tasmania's settlement and their convict ancestors.
