Sea caves, kelp forests, and convict history on Tasmania's wild cliff coast

Most travelers fly into Hobart and then drive to the Tasman Peninsula. Eaglehawk Neck sits on the main route to Port Arthur, and the peninsula is commonly approached via the Arthur Highway (A9). From Hobart, Port Arthur is commonly described as about a 90-minute road trip, so Eaglehawk Neck is an easy base for both the national park and the historic site.
A rental car is the most practical way to explore the Tasman Peninsula, especially if you are carrying dive gear and want to chase weather windows. Limited bus services connect Hobart with the peninsula and Port Arthur, and many visitors also use guided day tours from Hobart for Port Arthur and the Eaglehawk Neck lookouts.
