Description
An action-packed tour day from Launceston to Hobart via the world-famous Wineglass Bay and the East Coast.
We depart Launceston ready for an action-packed day out exploring Wineglass Bay, Freycinet National Park, and the delights & highlights along the way.
Our drive this morning takes us through the well-preserved Georgian townships of Evandale and Campbell Town.
We make a short stop in Campbell Town 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 plucked from the beautiful surrounding 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 walkers you can choose to spend the rest of your time completing the walk down to Wineglass 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 and Cape Tourville Lighthouse.
We re-group ready for the onward journey to Hobart. Last but certainly not least we stop at Kate's Berry Farm. Here, Kate is serving up delicious Berry Ice-creams and other sweet delights such as jams, sauces, chocolates and jellies.
We return to your Hobart central city accommodation around 6.30 - 7.00pm.
(Airport Drop Offs around 6.00 - 6.30pm available by arrangement at time of booking)

Would repeat in a heartbeat
We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. The national Park entrance fee Small, friendly groups is worth it on its own. Our guide was the highlight: incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer anything. At rush hour the traffic stretches the route out quite a bit. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended
Worth far more than what it costs. The price is honest for what you get. Cape Tourville has a very special atmosphere. One of the best things we have booked online.

We enjoyed it
Worth doing, with a few things to polish. The route is well thought out, no backtracking or wasted time. We used professional english guides and interpretative walks the whole time and it worked perfectly. The guide was fine, if not memorable. The price is honest for what you get. Frequency between buses could be better at the later stops. There is room to improve, but no regrets.

Superó lo que esperábamos. Hobart tiene un clima muy especial. Todo el trámite fue digital, no tuvimos que imprimir nada.

Buena elección
Cumple con lo que ofrece. El paisaje en Cape Tourville no entra en una foto. El guía hablaba muy rápido y a veces se perdía el hilo. El único detalle fue que faltó agua disponible, sobre todo con el calor. Recomendable en general.
