What to know about the Hobart Airport → Port Arthur route
Tolls, traffic windows and drop-off logistics that apply to this specific route.
Route via Sorell and Arthur Highway
The drive uses the Tasman Highway (A3) to Sorell, then the Arthur Highway (A9) through Dunalley and Taranna to Eaglehawk Neck. Sorell is the main bottleneck, since traffic must use the old Arthur Highway intersection to leave town.
Local charges included in fixed price
All local tolls, road charges and low-emission or congestion zone fees on the route are covered by the fixed price, so no additional road costs apply to your transfer.
Port Arthur drop-off and site hours
Your driver can drop you directly in front of the Visitor Centre, which is open daily from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Courtesy buggies operate from 10:30am to 3:30pm, and the free car park fills quickly at peak times.

Transfer from Hobart Airport to Port Arthur
The transfer heads out along the Tasman Highway (A3) past the airport to Sorell, then joins the Arthur Highway (A9) for the run south-east through Dunalley and Taranna. Near Eaglehawk Neck the road runs along a narrow isthmus with water on both sides, and Taranna's Tasmanian Devil Unzoo is a recognisable landmark along the way.
Your driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit holding a name sign, and the flight is tracked so delays are absorbed. Allow 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes plus a buffer, as Sorell's old Arthur Highway intersection slows traffic, especially at busy times. At Port Arthur, you can be dropped directly in front of the Visitor Centre, where the free car park fills quickly at busy times.
Public transport falls short here, as there is no direct bus from Hobart Airport and the Tassielink route 734 from Rosny Park Interchange runs only about six days a week. Pennicott's airport pickup needs prior arrangement at 8:30am and cannot wait past that for flight delays. A pre-booked private transfer avoids these timetable gaps, with a driver who tracks your flight and waits up to 60 minutes free at arrivals.
