This hiking experience from Hobart showcases one of the region’s most iconic landscapes, inviting travellers to explore coastal peaks, granite headlands and pristine beaches on one of the area’s most celebrated walking trails. With time to enjoy both the Wineglass Bay Lookout and the beautiful curve of Wineglass Bay Beach, it is an ideal way to immerse yourself in the natural highlights of a renowned national park.
The day begins with a scenic journey along the eastern coastline, passing seaside townships before entering the national park, where pink granite mountains rise above sheltered bays and white sandy shores. A brief stop at a local marine farm offers the chance to sample fresh oysters before the walking adventure begins. The first section of the hike climbs steadily to the Wineglass Bay Lookout, rewarding walkers with sweeping views across the bay. Travellers then continue on the steeper descent to the beach, where there is ample time to explore, enjoy lunch, wander the shoreline or even take a refreshing swim on warm days. With several hours allocated, there is freedom to savour the scenery, walk to the southern end of the beach or simply relax in this spectacular setting.
The return walk climbs back to the lookout before descending to the trailhead, where the guide meets the group for the journey back. The final stops include a visit to a historic coastal landmark and a chance to enjoy local handcrafted ice cream at a nearby café before returning to the city.
This tour is perfect for active travellers, nature lovers, hikers and anyone seeking a rewarding day outdoors filled with coastal scenery, fresh air and unforgettable views.
It is an inspiring and energising way to experience one of the region’s most remarkable walking destinations.
