Visit Eddystone Point Lighthouse, walk from Skeleton Bay to Dora Point, and see local wildlife like wallabies and echidnas along the way.

Take photos, sample local beers and wine, try deliciously fresh cuisine, walk through gorgeous landscapes, see some epic views and find out more about Port Arthur, Hobart and Huon Valley - this is the perfect adventure to see the best of the Hobart area (and more) in a short amount of time.
