We depart Hobart and travel towards Tasmania’s beautiful eastern coastline. Along the way, we pass through the seaside towns of Orford and Swansea as we make our way to Freycinet National Park. One of Tasmania’s first national parks, Freycinet is renowned for its dramatic coastal landscapes. Pink granite mountains provide a striking backdrop to secluded bays, pristine waters, white sandy beaches, abundant wildlife, and stunning walking trails.
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.
Depending on how active you’re feeling, you can extend your hike down to Wineglass Bay beach for swimming, relaxing and dolphin spotting or return from the lookout with your guide. If you return from the lookout with our Tour Guide, we’ll enjoy lunch at picturesque Honeymoon Bay, take in the great short walk to Cape Tourville Lighthouse, and—if time permits—make a quick stop at the dramatic coastline of Sleepy Bay before beginning our journey back.
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, fresh seafood platter, woodfired pizza, tea, coffee or artisan gelato at the end of a glorious day.
The tour returns to Hobart around 6pm.
