Liberty Point - See Aquaculture pens stocked with Atlantic salmon and Ocean trout.
Enjoy a sample of our local produce included in your lunch.
Sarah Island - Stop and step ashore to explore the harshest convict settlement in Australia and relive the absorbing tale of how the convicts turned a hell on earth into one of the largest ship building yards in Australia. Pre-dating Port Arthur and feared by every convict, this settlement has a 'history with a twist' as you will learn from our guides. Sarah Island is a must-see.
