Launceston to Hobart via Wineglass Bay
This Wineglass Bay tour offers a scenic one-way journey designed for travellers moving between two major cities while still wanting time to explore one of Tasmania’s most admired coastal national parks. With a blend of short walks, lookout points and free time outdoors, the day provides a relaxed yet active way to experience the region.
The journey begins with a drive through historic townships, where there is time to pick up lunch and stroll past heritage landmarks before continuing to the East Coast. Inside the national park, travellers visit lookouts, beaches and quiet bays, with an option to complete one of Tasmania’s Great Short Walks to a celebrated viewpoint or continue further down to the beach for a longer trail experience.
For those choosing the shorter walking option, the afternoon includes a lighthouse circuit and a visit to a sheltered bay with granite scenery. The day concludes with a break at a coastal winery offering food, drinks and space to unwind before the final drive south.
This tour suits active walkers, coastal explorers, photographers and travellers moving between cities who want to maximise their day. With a choice of walks and ample time outdoors, it supports a flexible and rewarding experience.
A comfortable pace, small group size and knowledgeable guiding help create a smooth and engaging travel day.
