Itinerary
See MapWineglass Bay is nestled in the Freycinet National Park on the East Coast of Tasmania. One of Tasmania’s first National Parks this is a coastal area rich in stunning landscapes. Pink granite mountains form the backdrop for secluded bays, pristine waters, white sandy beaches, local wildlife and walking trails.
We depart Hobart heading east to the beautiful eastern coastline of Tasmania. We pass through the seaside towns of Orford and Swansea as we make our way north to Freycinet National Park. Freycinet is one of Tasmania’s first National Parks, famous for its rich and stunning coastal landscapes. Pink granite mountains form the backdrop for secluded bays, pristine waters, white sandy beaches, local wildlife, and amazing walking trails.
We begin our adventures and walk as a group to the Wineglass Bay Lookout, this is a moderate uphill walk of around 45 minutes. Once at the top you are rewarded with that world - 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. Sturdy footwear / runners are best suited for this walk.
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 walk down to Wineglass Bay beach.
Wineglass Bay Beach Walk - This is a 2.5 hr return walk and adequate 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 (albeit chilly!) 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 select the shorter walking option, then we return from the Wineglass Bay Lookout with our Tour Guide and explore other areas of Freycinet National Park. Visit Honeymoon Bay, Cape Tourville Lighthouse & Great Short Walk, Sleepy Bay lookout.
After around 4 hours at Freycinet National Park we re-group ready to begin the trip back to Hobart.
Our final stop on the East Coast is the stunning Devil’s Corner Winery, where you will have time to take in the magnificent view. On site you can enjoy a wine tasting, wood fired pizza, fresh seafood and Oysters from Freycinet Marine Farm and ice creams all available at own expense on the day.
We return to Hobart around 6.00pm.

Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.

What is the weather like in Tasmania?
Tasmania weather has four distinct seasons. The warmest months are December, January, February and March. Autumn (Fall) has many sunny days and the landscape produces a mass of colour as 200 year-old oaks, elms, birches and Tasmania’s own native beech, turn from gold to red in preparation for winter. Winter runs from May through August. Spring spans September, October and November, and brings oceans of wildflowers. The average summer temperatures sit between 17 and 23 degrees Celsius (62 and 73 degrees Fahrenheit) and in winter, between 3 and 11 degrees Celsius (37 and 51 degrees Fahrenheit). Tasmania’s location below the 40th parallel means the summer evenings display a lingering twilight

Being a young backpacker, trying to get the best out my experience in Tasmania I was excited when I saw a trip to wineglass bay! I was so happy with the way the tour turned out! The guide, Rob, was informative and allowed us to stop at some unbelievable sites! Not only did we see the beautiful wineglass bay, but also honeymoon bay, sleepy cove, AND Cape Tourville! Saw so many different things, making the tour incredible as it aloud me to see so many things in one day! Would highly recommend it!

“Day was great to Wineglassbay”
Travelled 16th July 2018

Day was great to Wineglassbay- however I think you could have cut it short by another 3 hours by skipping the town (twice), skip the oyster lunch, and skip the second lunch (just byo or stop 1x!). Fill the day with something else or make it a half one...
Rest was great, great tour guide!!

“Great Natural Beauty”
Travelled 1st January 2020

I thought of driving to Wineglass Bay until I saw the day tour in TripAdvisor. Well worth joining the tour with medium intensity walks through Coles Bay, Honeymoon Bay, Cape Tourville and Wineglass Bay. Stunning views and if you are lucky enough, meet the local wild life. Return trip via Kate's Berry Farm where you must try the salted caramel ice cream. Yum. Buy some local produce as this is Tasmania after all. Going on a tour means you get to see the best places without the hassle. You can snooze on the way back to Hobart as it is over 2 hours of driving each way. Beats driving on a holiday!

“Stunning landscapes”
Travelled 1st January 2020
(4/5)
David was our tour guide, and though a bit quirky, his knowledge and love for Tasmania really shows. The national park was a bit far, but once we got there it was well worth it. The optional hikes were perfect for everyone's comfort level, and David did an excellent job leading us to Wine Glass Bay lookout. The small tour size was perfect, and helped move everything along in a timely manner. Our goal when choosing Tasmania and selecting this tour was seafood and mountains and this checked both boxes. We stopped for fresh oysters along the way and they were delicious! The eastern coast of Tasmania is breath-taking, and this tour showed us that.
Had the van been more comfortable, I would have given the tour five stars. The seats are close together, and at 5'3 my knees were killing me by the end of the day. The climate control was good, and David is an excellent driver.

“Another amazing day”
Travelled 1st January 2020
(5/5)
I, once again, had Andrew for my tour guide. There was only one other person on the tour with me, so we got to do a few extra excursions. With that being said, Andrew was super open to do whatever we wanted, and let us stay at the site for as long as we wanted. The drive to the park is a long one, but it's completely do-able (especially if you have Andrew, he'll keep you entertained and the ride goes by fast). I assumed that we would only be visiting Wineglass Bay, but boy was I wrong. We went to a few different lookouts, and a few other bays in Freycinet. Andrew was with us the entire time, and he would point out the different types of wildlife and views surrounding us. Overall, it was a really amazing day, and I loved this tour. Hopefully you'll be in a smaller tour group so you can do extra stuff, but I'm sure if you're in a larger one you'll still get an awesome tour.

Our guide Nick was great. The weather outlook wasn’t the best so he shuffled the tour stops so we actually got to see everything before the rain set in. The views in Frecinet and at Wineglass Bay are beautiful. Nick explained all of the local plants and wildlife while we hiked. Nick also explained the local history and culture of Tasmania and Australia. I highly recommend this tour.

Picked up by tour guide Jack who was excellent, very knowledgable and friendly. Learnt a lot on the way up there about Tassie and the local wildlife and enjoyed the fresh seafood lunch. Jack was very flexible with the group (if people wanted to get takeaway lunch and see the sea that was fine or stay and eat etc) and he ferried us about happily showing us beautiful hidden beaches off the beaten track on route.
Wineglass bay was lovely. The group split between those who wanted to do the long or the short hike, I did the long one and really enjoyed exploring the beach.
There seem to be a few grumbles about a long time in the van on the thread but aside from magic I don't see how that could be changed and the minibus was certainly comfortable enough! A long but lovely day and would recommend.

“A MUST DO Attraction if visiting Tasmania”
Travelled 1st January 2020

Wineglass Bay and the hike up the pink granite mountains offer a highly enjoyable way to spend the day. It's absolutely beautiful and the scenery is spectacular! There are many different hikes you can take of varying difficulty and levels. But the bottom line is this: getting to the lookout to see the views of the bay is a must when you're in Freycinet National Park. Absolutely stunningly beautiful, peaceful, wonderful hikes through the bush and just a must-do while visiting this beautiful island! I loved every bit of it! Enjoy the visit! It can not/NOT be missed!

Had an absolutely awesome day with Zach - Scottish-born but Tasmanian at heart - my highly skilled tour guide! The sky stayed blue, the sun stayed out and the wildlife came out to play! :) So thrilled to see an echidna, baby Tiger snake slither ahead of us on a track; a whale that had come into Wineglass Bay to rest, play and gently perform for those of us that had our cameras poised on him the whole time; and the tame wallaby that likes to hang out at the Wineglass Bay lookout! It was an active, action-packed day that ended with local Tasmanian lavender ice cream with a stop at Kate's Berry Farm on the way back to Hobart. I absolutely loved it! Heartfelt thanks to Tours Tasmania for making it happen and letting me leave Tasmania in love with the place :))

Fantastic full day tour from Hobart. Freycinet National Park is very beautiful, the walk to the lookout through the bush and huge rock formations is rewarded by magnificent views down to Wineglass Bay. The white sand beaches, delicious oyster lunch and meeting the folks at the wallaby rescue clinic were extra bonuses. Phil was an excellent guide and driver and looked after our every need.

My best friend & I took this tour in January 2018 with Tours Tasmania, and loved it. They were prompt with pickup outside our hotel, very informative with information regarding the areas we passed through as well as the sites visited. Very knowledgable, entertaining and friendly. Clint was our tour guide/driver, with Mel & Dan as his trainee guides along side him. All three were fantastic. We even got to see a secret cave! Would definitely recommend.

“Beautiful site and great hike”
Travelled 1st January 2020
(5/5)
This is a great all day trip from Hobart. We were conveniently picked up from our hotel. Our guide, David, was knowledgeable and accommodating. We were looking for not only a good way to see this area, but also a challenging hike and we got both. The whole tour goes to the lookout and then you can choose to stay with the guide, or to do a self-guided hike down (and back up!) to the beach. I highly recommend going to the beach. It's 1000 steps - sometimes steep- up and back but it is well worth it. Buy your lunch ahead of time to enjoy at the beach and don't forget to bring a bathing suit if you'd like to swim - but note that there are no changing rooms. The food stops - for oysters and jelly - are both well worth it also.

“The tour is great and great eye opening walk”
Travelled 1st January 2020

We love the walk at the park, we saw a lot of great sights and it is all so nature. Clint the tour guide was good and he take time to explain to us history around the park and also give us good insight of history of Hobart along the way. Overall it is a good and eye opening walk as we really appreciate the nature that we would not have been able to experience back in Singapore.
I would like to personally thank Clint as he had bothered to return our son's jumper a day after our tour. He left it at the hotel front desk early in the morning. Thanks for making the effort and we really appreciate it.

“Great tour!”
Travelled 1st January 2020
(5/5)
The tour starts really on time and stopped for a few stations for us to rest during the long journey to Wineglass. The tour size is just about 12-16 people and therefore the tour guide can take care of each individual or group. Dan, our tour guide, is a very bubbly and friendly guy. Wineglass is breathtaking, you must make it to the lookout!
Although we had a flat tyre, Dan was extremely careful and prompt. He made sure the tyre has been properly replaced and double checked for its safety before taking us back to Hobart. This means taking us about 1.5 hours waiting but it's okay as safety is the first priority. We also missed the trip to Kate's berry farm, which would definitely have made this tour much better.
But overall we really enjoyed ourself.

“great day out there”
Travelled 1st January 2020

It is so beautiful in the national park and wineglass bay. Clint our tour guide is very friendly and considerate ;) one of the best day trips i have in Hobart. Most of us didn't go to wineglass bay, because it's a bit of long walk, but Clint took the rest of us to honeymoon bay and sleepy bay.
I don't remember the name for the oyster place, I loved the abalone sashimi, i think it's better than the oysters ;)
The information i receive from viator was wrong, and a few of us took towel, swim wear and jackets on a 29 degree day, because the email voucher said cave temperature is 9 degrees. But clint was nice enough to take us to a secret cave (very small one nearby the big rock) to compensate our expectation ;)

We did four tours with this company: Cradle Mountain; Wineglass Bay; Port Arthur; and Maria Island , all were fantastic, guides/drivers knowledgable and helpful, the sights interesting and/or beautiful and would have been difficult to accomplish so much each day on one’s own. Small groups made for a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. In addition to hiking to stunning coastal views and bays and beaches we encountered kangaroos, wallabies, Echinda and wombats and saw many birds as well. Got to feed kangaroos, and watch Tasmanian devils fighting over food. Guides provided interesting historical information and anecdotes Highly recommend

The Freycinet and Wineglass bay tour was a wonderful experience and worth the drive there! The hike up 400 steps over the saddle to the lookout to see Wineglass Bay from up high was well worth the effort, and Ben our tour guide kept us amused all day with his Tasmania/Australian/European history and flora and fauna storytelling. He's cute AF too. Lunch at Honeymoon Bay was so peaceful and I'm glad i tried the mulled wine and oysters in Oyster Bay. Highly recommend this tour if you want to try a variety of activities in 1 day with a well organised tour company like Tours Tasmania.

Driver was great, just giving us enough information on the drive out. Unfortunately it was crappy weather and I had already walked for 4 days on another tour. So the driver kindly recommended myself and another lady to be dropped at The Lodge (clearly picked up we like a wine and nibbles). He then took us to a couple of beautiful spots for a look. Do accommodating. Highly recommend. If the weather is crap ( it can be at a drop of a hat) you have options. What we did see was amazing. Now an excuse to go back to Tassie to see Wineglass on a sunny day

Great trip, gave us plenty of time to do all the sightseeing and more. Showed us all the best spots and hidden bays. Also due to covid, you get 100% of your money back if due to lockdowns you can't make it. We did two tours with Tours Tasmania the Wine Glass and Cradle Mt. We do highly recommend their fantastic and informative service.

I did this tour as part of the 'Big Three' three-day tour from Hobart to Launceston. The weather on the day of the tour was not ideal, lightly raining nearly the entire day, but I still had a lot of fun. The day started early picking everyone up from their hotels before making a quick stop shortly outside of Hobart for anyone needing to purchase lunch to take with them for the day. We made one additional stop along a beach before getting to the Freycinet National Park. From there, we had three options of walks, a short walk to a cafe/lunch spot, a walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout (a 45-minute uphill walk), or the option to extend your walk to the actual sands of Wineglass Bay (approximately 2.5 hours). Normally, I would have chosen the longer walk, but given the weather was rainy, and the guide advised there were a couple of sections of the walk to be careful on, our group of four opted for the walk to the lookout. Two of the members of the group stopped halfway to the lookout before turning to head towards the van as it was an uphill climb and a bit too much for them. After taking in the views overlooking Wineglass Bay, we headed to Honeymoon Bay and did the Cape Tourville Lighthouse Walk. The description says you stop at the Freycinet Marine Farm for oysters, but we did not, so maybe that is a seasonal thing. Because I did this as part of the 'Big Three' tour, I then switched buses to go to Launceston instead of back to Hobart so I can't comment on the trip to the Berry Farm. Overall, the day was long and tiring, but fun, and I learned a lot from the guides.

“A nice hike to the lookout”
Travelled 10th December 2023

Stop 3: Freycinet park to hike to the lookout for wine glass bay. The hike is worth for the view. You will get 2 options either do short walk and go to honeymoon bay for lunch or do a long walk and take your lunch at wineglass bay. From the lookout to the wineglass bay is 1000 steps (return to wineglass bay by climbing back those 1000 steps). Because my friends and I did short walk so our next stop was 4.
Stop 4: lunch at honeymoon bay. Very beautiful view to enjoy your picnic lunch.
Stop 5: light house. Nice view from the light house
Stop 6: Andrew dropped us at Sleepy bay for 20 mins to get the people who were doing long walk. The walk to sleepy way is breathtaking picture perfect. But 20 mins is not sufficient you have to rush yourself and not suitable for elderly people or anyone without fitness. I wish instead of the stop at Marine farm if we had been given more time here ... it would have been great.
Stop 7: Kate's berry farm... you MUST try their ice cream.

Great day. Hiking down to wineglass bay was fun. There are lots of steps for those who may have issues. Wish we could have seen the other bays, but if you choose to hike down into winglass bay, you don't get to see the other 2 stops. There was a Wallaby on the beach just hanging out and some dolphins swimming in the bay

Wasn't happy with the tour, couldn't manage the walk to the lookout. Thought the National Park was poorly maintained and the walking track up to the lookout was very unsafe, with no railings. We ended up turning back halfway up due to this & then had to wait some time for everyone to return. The stop at Honeymoon Bay toveat lunch was shabby, limited seating. Wouldn't recommend this tour. Tour bus was also a little shabby & in need of some repair

Plenty of downtime to explore and a day full of activities.. the wineglass bay beach is an absolute must, there is a lot of steps on the way back up but it's worth every second. Beautiful views at the winery after and food to celebrate all our hard work.

Picked up from our apartment on time, plenty of food and convenience stops aswell as short visits to real beauty spots and Richmond. Hourglass bay lookout was a 40 min uphilll climb with lots of steps, the view at the top was breathtaking but Alex had a great back up plan for anyone not feeling up to the hike at a nearby lodge. He really goes out of his way to make sure everyone is catered for and enjoys the experience. Highly recommend.

Alex was a great tour guide! We had the best day and got to see so many things we wouldn’t have seen if we tried to do it ourself. It was so easy and just enough time in each place to get a nice photo and take it in!
Make sure you wear decent walking shoes for the hike to wineglass bay lookout. It was so worth it but it’s definitely a decent trek with lots of rock steps!
Also don’t forget your motion sickness tablets if you’re not good on windy roads in a bus.

I did 2 tours with drink Tasmania on a recent quick break to Hobart. Both were excellent.
Whiskey tour - Learnt a heap about Whiskey making from 4 distillers from relatively large scale to completely boutique small run distillers. The passion these folk have for their art (product) is amazing. Tastings were very generous and Peter (our guide) made the day alot of fun and was extremely knowledgeable about Tassie and the history of the place and where we were venturing to.
Signature tour - This one gives a great overview of what is made in Tassie. Winery, cideries, distillery and brewery all in one day.
Again, our host Tim was alot of fun as well as very knowledgeable about where and what we were seeing and more importantly tasting. Tastings were again very generous and the the staff very knowledgeable about their products and happy to talk about what they do.
Its worth noting that at no point was there pressure to make purchases on either of the tours I took, although I did dent the card at a couple of places with no regrets :)
Both tours were punctual and well organised as well as being a relaxed day through some beautiful countryside.
