About this tour
A 9–10 hour day trip from Hobart to Freycinet National Park on Tasmania's east coast. You'll drive to the park, choose between three walks of varying difficulty — the Wineglass Bay Lookout (easier), Wineglass Bay Beach (moderate-to-strenuous), or Honeymoon Bay and Cape Tourville Lighthouse (easier) — then return via a local winery where you can buy oysters and wine with views across Freycinet. Includes all transport, park entry, and bottled water.
Highlights
- Drive to iconic Wineglass Bay, a crescent beach famed for turquoise water
- Choose your own hike: lookout only, beach descent, or lighthouse walk
- Moderate-to-challenging descent to Wineglass Bay Beach if you're fit
- Easier alternative routes to Honeymoon Bay and Cape Tourville Lighthouse
- Stop at local winery on return; buy oysters and wine with Freycinet views
- Round-trip transfers from central Hobart in air-conditioned coach
- Park entrance fee and bottled water included throughout
What to expect
You'll be picked up from central Hobart early morning and driven roughly 90 minutes east to Freycinet National Park. On arrival, you'll select your walk based on fitness and preference. The Wineglass Bay Lookout walk (easier, about 1 hour return) rewards you with views of the bay from above. If you want more, you can descend to the beach itself — a steeper, rockier return that suits those with good cardiovascular fitness. Alternatively, Honeymoon Bay and the Cape Tourville Lighthouse offer a less demanding circuit. After walking, you'll head to a local winery where oysters and local wine are available for purchase at your own cost. The return journey to Hobart takes around 2 hours, arriving late afternoon.

Good to know
This suits active day-trippers from Hobart who want to see one of Tasmania's most famous beaches without committing to overnight travel. The trip isn't suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns — the terrain is uneven and the descent to the beach involves scrambling over rocks. You need moderate physical fitness minimum; the beach walk is genuinely challenging for casual walkers. Bring or buy breakfast in Hobart, as none is provided; lunch isn't included either, though the winery stop allows you to eat oysters. Wear sturdy walking boots, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate layers — the coast is exposed. Peak season (December–February, school holidays) means larger groups and busier car parks. The group size isn't specified, but expect a shared coach. Allow cash for the winery.
