Port Arthur 2-day Tickets with Harbour Cruise

With these two-day tickets to the Port Arthur Historic Site, you can take your time exploring one of the most important sites for understanding Australia’s penal history. The site comprises historic buildings, preserved ruins, restored houses, historic gardens and footpaths that allow you to explore the area at your own pace.

During your visit, you’ll have access to over 30 historic buildings and structures, as well as exhibition spaces such as the Port Arthur Gallery and the Asylum Museum, where interactive displays help you learn about the stories of the prisoners, prison officers and others connected to the former settlement. Short, free talks are also held at various locations around the site throughout the day.

The ticket also includes a harbour cruise departing at 15:40, lasting approximately 20 minutes. From the water, you’ll be able to see Port Arthur from a different perspective and gain a better understanding of the former settlement’s relationship with its natural and maritime surroundings.

As the ticket is valid for two consecutive days, you can plan your visit at a more leisurely pace and spend time exploring not only the historic sites but also the gardens, exhibitions and walking trails. You can enhance your experience by using the digital audio guide, which you can download onto your mobile phone – a great way to add context to what you’re seeing whilst exploring at your own pace.
