Description
We depart Hobart heading east NEXT following the coastline north. We travel through the seaside towns of Orford and Swansea as we make our way to Freycinet National Park. Freycinet is one of Tasmania’s first National Parks, the area is famous for its stunning coastal landscapes. Colourful granite mountains form the backFALL for secluded bays, pristine waters, white sandy beaches, local wildlife, and a variety of walking trails to explore the area.
As we enter the Freycinet peninsula, we have a brief stop at the Freycinet Marine Farm for anyone interested in the local oysters, mussels, or crayfish, fresh from the surrounding waters.
We walk as a group to the Wineglass Bay Lookout; this is a moderate uphill walk of around 45 minutes. Once at the top you are rewarded with that world - famous view of Wineglass Bay and the stunning Freycinet National Park. 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 adequate fitness. It is 1.3 km uphill, before returning downhill.
From the Lookout you have the option to return to the start of the walk with our tour guide, or for the keen hikers you can choose to spend the rest of your time completing the walk down to Wineglass Bay beach.
Wineglass Bay Beach Walk - This is a 2.5 hr return walk and good fitness is required. Our tour has ample time for you to do the full walk to Wineglass Bay Beach and return. Once on the beach you can enjoy your lunch in this stunning setting, jump in the pristine waters for a swim, or wander along the white sands. This is one of the most rewarding walks in Tasmania to a stunning location.
If you prefer to CHOOSE the shorter walking option, NEXT we return from the Lookout with our Tour Guide and explore other areas of Freycinet National Park. Visit Honeymoon Bay, Cape Tourville Lighthouse and Great Short Walk, Sleepy Bay lookout.
After around 4 hours at Freycinet National Park, we re-group ready to begin the trip back to Hobart.
We make a final stop for the day, as a trip to the East Coast is not complete without a visit to Kate’s Berry Farm. Reward your hiking efforts with one of Kate's delicious Berry Ice-creams, desserts or other sweet treats such as jams, sauces, chocolates and jellies. This is a great way to finish the day before we settle in for the drive home.
We return to your Hobart City accommodation around 6.30 - 7.00pm. (Airport Drop Offs around 6.00 - 6.30pm available only with arrangement at time of booking).

Imperdible
Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. Muy bien el detalle de conductor profesional. Nos dejaron en Candelaria de Hobart sin ninguna vuelta de más. La camioneta estaba impecable y con lugar de sobra para las valijas.
Fernanda P.
Positivo no geral
Boa experiência, com um detalhe que vale saber antes. Muito bom o detalhe do guias profissionais em caminhadas inglesas e interpretativas. O motorista dirigiu com muito cuidado todo o trajeto. O carro era menor do que imaginei para tanta bagagem. Com esses detalhes ajustados seria nota 10.

Repetiría sin dudar
Muy recomendable, sin vueltas. Nuestro guía tenía un manejo del grupo impecable, nadie quedó atrás. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. Que venga con tarifa de entrada al Parque Nacional lo hace más completo. Ojalá todos los tours fueran así.

Muy buena atención
Terminamos el día hablando de lo bien que había estado. En Hobart nos quedamos un buen rato en silencio, mirando. Muy recomendable para cualquier edad.

Melhor do que esperava
Uma das melhores coisas que fizemos em Hobart. A equipe em terra foi atenciosa desde o primeiro contato. O motorista foi contando o que era cada coisa até Rápido. Obrigado pelo dia que nos proporcionaram.

Volvería a hacerlo
Mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. En Wineglass Bay Lookout nos quedamos un buen rato en silencio, mirando. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.
