— What You Can Expect —

Start the trip by departing from Hobart heading east then following the coastline north. Travel through the seaside towns of Orford and Swansea as you make your way to Freycinet National Park.

Then, you will proceed to the East Coast, and 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, you will begin a series of walks and exploration of the area. Walk as a group to the Wineglass Bay Lookout, which 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.

From the lookout, you have the option to return to the start of the walk with the tour guide, or for the keen walkers, you can choose to spend the rest of your time completing the walk down to Wineglass Beach.

The 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, enjoy a wine tasting, wood-fired pizza, fresh seafood, oysters from Freycinet Marine Farm and ice cream, all available at your own expense.
