An action-packed day tour travelling from Launceston to Hobart via the world famous Wineglass Bay and the East Coast of Tasmania. The drive from Launceston in the morning takes you through the well-preserved Georgian townships of Evandale and Campbell Town. Make a short stop in Campbell Town where you can buy 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 this brief stop, travel to the East Coast where you catch an amazing view of the area at the Great Oyster Bay Lookout. Once inside Freycinet National Park, begin a series of walks and exploration of the area. Walk as a group to the Wineglass Bay Lookout, a moderate uphill walk of around 45 - 60 minutes. Here the views make the walk well worth the effort! For the keen hikers, you can continue the walk down to Wineglass beach (2.5 hours return walking time). Once on the beach guests have time to take a swim, relax, eat your lunch or meander 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 Hobart. Before leaving the East Coast, make a final stop where you can refresh and refuel in a friendly and relaxed location, with delicious local ice-creams, the perfect way to end a huge day out! This tour ends in Hobart at around 06:00pm–06:30pm.~~~~
