The main tour is a Ghost Tour which does incorporate some adult stories of rape – hangings & murder. These are true stories, they have been handed down over generations. We have purposely tried not to embellish them in any way other that to portray “The Facts”.

It is a 90 minute walking tour around the alleyways, & inner laneways of Launceston

Our guides are skilled but we recommend it is not for children under 10. There have been times when upset children have to leave the tour, & certainly children unattended by an adult are not permitted.

If you intend bring children, please tell us the age/ages and our guides will adapt the stories to suit that situation. If you discuss it with our Tour Director arrangements can be made for The Little Ones to not enter The Coffin Room or ant other site that could be detrimental in any way.

Join a lantern-lit walking tour to experience the Port Arthur Historic Site by night. Port Arthur can seem a very different place after sunset, full of mystery and intrigue.

Unlike many other ghost tours around the world, visitors on our Ghost Tours have exclusive access to our World Heritage listed Site, so the atmosphere won't be shattered by crowds or traffic.

Are there ghosts? Truth or myth? Either way, the silence and soft glow of the lantern light can sometimes make those long gone seem very close at hand.
