Wineglass Bay & Freycinet

Visit one of the world’s Top 10 most beautiful beaches in this not to be missed East Coast adventure.

We depart Hobart and travel along Tasmania’s scenic east coast, passing through Orford and Swansea on our way to Freycinet National Park.

After arriving at Freycinet National Park, we set off on a group walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout. This moderate 45 minute uphill hike gets the heart pumping before revealing one of the best views in the Southern Hemisphere - gaze out over treetops to a sweeping vista of white sand and turquoise water; the perfect wine glass-shaped bay and the ultimate selfie backdrop. Enjoy the moment, take in the views and let our guides help you with those sought after photographs.  The walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout is one of the Great Short Walks of Tasmania and requires good mobility and fitness.  It is a 1.3 km uphill walk, before returning downhill.  Sturdy footwear / runners are best suited for this walk.

From the lookout, you can either return to the starting point with our tour guide, or for the keen hikers, continue down to Wineglass Bay Beach for a longer adventure.

Keen to continue your hike? Tick the full Wineglass Bay Beach Walk off your bucket list! The return trail from the lookout to the beach is 6 km and takes approximately 2–2.5 hours. There are about 1,000 steps down to the beach — and, of course, back up again. Our tour allows ample time to complete the full walk. Once you arrive, enjoy lunch in this breathtaking setting, take a dip in the (chilly!) pristine waters, or stroll along the white sands. This is one of Tasmania’s most rewarding walks to a truly stunning destination.

Prefer a more relaxed pace? If you choose to return after the Wineglass Bay Lookout, join our tour guide to explore more highlights of Freycinet National Park. We stop for lunch at Honeymoon Bay, then continue to Cape Tourville Lighthouse, another of Tasmania’s 60 Great Short Walks. The Cape Tourville circuit is a gentle, flat boardwalk trail offering spectacular coastal views.

After approximately four hours in Freycinet National Park, we regroup and begin the journey back to Hobart.

If all that scenery has worked up an appetite, you’ll love our afternoon stop at Devil’s Corner Winery. Perched high on a hill overlooking Freycinet, it’s the ideal place to kick back with a glass of wine at the end of a glorious day. Here we have the amazing fresh local seafood from Freycinet Marine Farm at The Fishers cafe and delicious pizza, pasta , artisan gelato & coffee from the Devil's Corner kitchen. The perfect way to end your iconic East Coast adventure.

We return to Hobart around 6.00pm.
