An action-packed tour day travelling from Hobart to finish in Launceston via the world famous Wineglass Bay and Tasmania's stunning East Coast. Depart Hobart heading east then following the coastline north. Travel through the seaside towns of Orford and Swansea as we make our way 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. On entering Freycinet area, have a brief stop at the Freycinet Marine Farm for anyone interested in the local oysters fresh from the surrounding pristine waters. 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 famous view of Wineglass Bay and the surrounding Freycinet National Park. Enjoy the moment, take in the views, and let your tour 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 your 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 return walk - this is a 2.5 hr return walk and moderate fitness is required.

The 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, head into the water for a swim, or wander along the white sands. If you prefer to select the shorter walking option, then you can explore other areas of Freycinet with your tour guide. Visit Honeymoon Bay, Sleepy Bay, Cape Tourville Lighthouse and great short walk. Re-group ready for the onward journey to Launceston. Make a final stop for the day, where you can refresh and refuel in a friendly and relaxed location with delicious handcrafted icecreams. Then it is onwards into Launceston arriving around 06:00pm-06:30pm.~~~~
