About this tour
A 5.5-hour guided walk and boat tour through Freycinet National Park with a local guide. You'll explore Wineglass Bay and quieter sections of the park by foot, then return via a 20-minute boat journey with the Freycinet Aqua Taxi. Small groups, full gear and meals included — designed as a straightforward, well-organised experience rather than a self-guided scramble. Moderate fitness required.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and receive a backpack, rain jacket and water bottle before heading into Freycinet National Park. The walk covers mixed terrain and includes time exploring Wineglass Bay and quieter sections of the park — your guide will interpret the landscape and share local knowledge as you move. Morning tea and snacks are provided partway through.
After several hours on foot, you'll board the Freycinet Aqua Taxi for a 20-minute boat ride back, taking in the coastline from the water. Lunch is a packed picnic eaten during the day. The tour runs rain or shine; your guide will confirm the safest walking route with the boat operator based on weather conditions on the day.

Good to know
This suits people wanting a guided, sociable walk through Freycinet without the navigation stress, self-catering or logistics of doing it alone. You need moderate fitness — the walk is 5.5 hours with uneven terrain, so it's not for those with poor cardiovascular health or spinal injuries. The pace is guided but steady. Weather won't stop the tour; alternative routes exist, and wet-weather gear is provided. Note: a valid National Parks Pass is your responsibility (buy at the visitor centre, lodge or online — not included in the fee). A 15% surcharge applies on Tasmanian public holidays. Tours require a minimum of 4 guests; if you're booking solo or in a small party on a quiet date, your spot may be tentative until numbers are confirmed.
