Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park Active Day Trip from Hobart

From Hobart, this full-day adventure highlights the dramatic coastline, clear waters and granite peaks of one of Tasmania’s most celebrated national parks. With short walks, scenic lookouts and relaxing coastal stops, it offers an enjoyable mix of activity and exploration along the East Coast.

The journey begins with a drive through seaside townships before entering the national park, where pink granite mountains rise above sheltered bays and white sandy beaches. After a brief stop at a local marine farm for those interested in fresh oysters, the tour sets off on the moderate walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout. This popular track climbs steadily to reveal sweeping views across the bay and surrounding landscape. Travellers can choose to return with the guide or continue on the longer trail to Wineglass Bay Beach, where there is time to enjoy lunch, take a swim or wander along the soft white sand. Those opting for the shorter walk explore more of the park, visiting Honeymoon Bay, Sleepy Bay and the Cape Tourville Lighthouse walk.

The day concludes with a relaxing break at a hilltop winery site overlooking the Hazards, where travellers can unwind with coastal views and a selection of refreshments before returning in the early evening.

This experience is ideal for active travellers, walkers, nature lovers, photographers and anyone who enjoys coastal scenery and flexible walking options.

It is a rewarding day out that blends fresh air, inspiring landscapes and the natural beauty of Tasmania’s East Coast.
