About this tour
A 10.5-hour one-way journey from Launceston to Hobart built around Freycinet National Park. You'll have up to 4 hours to explore at your own pace — tackle the full Wineglass Bay circuit, climb Mt Amos, or join the guide for a moderate 1.5-hour lookout walk and lighthouse stroll. The day wraps with a swim at Honeymoon Bay and optional seafood tasting at Freycinet Marine Farm. Suits active travellers who want a scenic drive with serious hiking options and aren't rushed by a turnaround itinerary.

Once in the national park, you have flexibility: either strike out alone for up to 4 hours on any trail (Wineglass Bay circuit, Mt Amos, or shorter walks), or join the guide for a structured moderate hike to the Wineglass Bay lookout (1.5 hours return, uphill) followed by an easier walk around Cape Tourville Lighthouse. A swim at Honeymoon Bay follows.

Good to know
This suits hikers and outdoor enthusiasts keen to see Freycinet without a guided procession, plus anyone wanting a scenic Hobart transfer that includes a proper stop. You'll need moderate fitness as a minimum; spinal injuries and poor cardiovascular health aren't compatible. The hike to Wineglass Bay lookout is uphill but manageable for reasonably fit adults. Lunch is not included — bring supplies or buy along the way. Peak-season crowds at Freycinet can be notable, particularly the Wineglass Bay trailhead. The one-way format means you end in Hobart with no hotel included, so book separate accommodation. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Group size and exact pickup windows aren't specified.
