What to expect

Travel from Hobart to Launceston on a full-day tour that showcases Tasmania’s spectacular East Coast. Journey through seaside towns before arriving at Freycinet National Park. Here, take the moderate 45-minute uphill walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout for one of the most photographed views in Australia. For active walkers, continue down to Wineglass Bay Beach for time to swim, relax, and enjoy lunch on the white sands.

If you prefer a shorter option, explore Honeymoon Bay, Sleepy Bay, and Cape Tourville Lighthouse with your guide, all part of Tasmania’s Great Short Walks. In the afternoon, regroup and travel north, stopping at Devil’s Corner Winery. Here you can enjoy a wine tasting, woodfired pizza, fresh oysters, or artisan gelato while taking in sweeping coastal views, before arriving in Launceston in the evening.

We return to Launceston around 6.00pm.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tour finish in Launceston instead of returning to Hobart?

Yes. This is a one-way sightseeing journey that leaves Hobart at 7:30am and finishes in Launceston at around 6:00pm, turning your travel day into a full Freycinet adventure. Pickup and drop-off are available from selected hotels; if your Hobart accommodation isn’t listed, meet at the general meeting point.

How difficult are the walks, and do I have to hike down to Wineglass Bay Beach?

You can choose the walking option that suits your energy. The guided Wineglass Bay Lookout walk is a moderate 1.3 km uphill route taking about 45 minutes, while keen walkers can continue to the beach on a harder 2.5-hour return walk; an easier scenic route visits Honeymoon Bay, Sleepy Bay and Cape Tourville. Good mobility is still required, and the tour isn’t suitable for wheelchair users or travellers with mobility impairments.

Is lunch included, and when can I buy food?

Lunch and drinks are not included, so you can bring a packed lunch or buy something during the day. There is an opportunity to purchase lunch on the way, and Devil’s Corner later offers wine, woodfired pizza, seafood, oysters and gelato at your own expense. Bring a large water bottle and a few snacks for the active sections.

Can I bring my luggage on this one-way tour?

Yes. Each traveller can bring one small suitcase plus one day pack, making the tour practical when you’re moving from Hobart to Launceston. You’ll need to load and unload your own luggage, and larger or excess bags aren’t suitable for this vehicle setup.

Is this tour suitable for families with children?

It can be a memorable choice for active families with children aged 8 and over, thanks to the scenery and flexible walking choices. Children under 8 can’t join, and everyone needs good mobility for the walking sections. The early start and evening arrival make it a full day, so it best suits children who are comfortable with a longer touring day.
