Description
An action packed day taking in Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park, enjoying the walks and highlights of Tasmania's beautiful East Coast. We have stops along the way taking in the local history and fresh local seafood, ice-cream and even the famous Tassie scallop pie!
We depart Launceston ready for an action-packed day out exploring Wineglass Bay, Freycinet National Park and the delights and highlights along the way.
Our drive this morning takes us through the well-preserved Georgian township of Campbell Town, where we make a short stop where you can collect some lunch to take along for the day ahead. You will have time to discover the Convict Brick Trail that extends through the town, visit the Red Bridge, and check out the tree sculptures depicting the history of the town.
After a brief stop in Campbell Town we travel to the East Coast, where we catch an amazing view of the area at the Great Oyster Bay Lookout and an opportunity to purchase some fresh oysters from the beautiful surrounding east coast waters.
Once inside Freycinet National Park we begin a series of walks and exploration of the area. We walk as a group to the Wineglass Bay Lookout; this is a moderate uphill walk of around 60 minutes. Once at the top you are rewarded with that world â€' 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 Wineglass Bay beach hike, and enjoy some time on the famous beach.
Wineglass Bay Beach hike
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.
We re-group ready for the return journey. While still on the East Coast we make a final stop for the day, where you can refresh and refuel in a friendly and relaxed location. Try the local hand-crafted Ice creams or perhaps a famous Tasmanian Scallop Pie! Then it is onwards into Launceston returning around 6.30pm.

Casi perfecto
Lo disfrutamos mucho, aunque hay cosas por mejorar. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. La coordinación fue puntual y todo estuvo organizado. Honeymoon Bay fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. El audio se cortaba en un par de tramos. Lo recomendaría igual.

Buena experiencia
Lo disfrutamos mucho, aunque hay cosas por mejorar. Los músicos en vivo le dan otro nivel a la noche. Muy bien que incluyera recogida y regreso en el hotel Central Launceston y Backpacker Hostel Las mesas están un poco juntas. Con esos detalles arreglados sería un 10.

Repetiría sin dudar
Simplemente perfecto. La coordinación fue puntual y todo estuvo organizado. Sale más que hacerlo suelto, pero te ahorra toda la organización. Volvimos a Cape Tourville al día siguiente por nuestra cuenta. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.

Una de las mejores cosas que hicimos en Launceston. La atención previa a la reserva fue muy clara con todas nuestras dudas. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe.

Cannot recommend enough
We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. You could tell it was properly organised. The central Launceston Hotel and Backpacker Hostel pick up and FALL off is worth it on its own. We loved the Honeymoon Bay area. One of the best things we have booked online.

Estuvo bueno, con altibajos. Buen guía, correcto y amable. Aprendimos más de la ciudad en unas horas que leyendo tres guías. Lo de guías profesionales y paseos interpretativos en inglés es un acierto. Tuvimos buen tiempo en Wineglass Bay para sacar fotos tranquilos. La única queja es que no avisaron que había bastante escalera. Buena experiencia dentro de todo.
