Interact with the wildlife, smell the native plants and be amazed by the spectacular view of Wineglass Bay from the lookout perched upon the Hazards Mountains. Then pamper yourself with a delicious light lunch and taste several wines from Tasmania’s East Coast wine region. This is the tour for those that want to truly understand the region, complete some of Tasmania’s Greatest Short Walks and indulge in premium wines.
Our Wineglass Bay tour departs from the Hobart waterfront, heading east then following the Great Eastern Drive north. We’ll travel through the seaside towns of Orford, Triabunna and Swansea as we make our way along the East Coast of Tasmania towards the Freycinet National Park. We’ll stop briefly along the way to take in some of the local highlights including a coffee break at the picturesque seaside town of Orford to fuel up for our hike.
The walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout is one of the Great Short Walks of Tasmania and can attract quite the crowd. Our tour is designed to help beat the crowds so we do the walk first thing upon arrival. It usually takes about 45mins to get to the Wineglass Bay Lookout. The 1.4 km walk is uphill on a rocky but well constructed path with stone steps. As a group, we walk to the Wineglass Bay Lookout where we help each other out to ensure we get the best photographs of this iconic view of Tasmania’s jewel. We enjoy the excitement and emotions of the moment, learn the secrets of the beaches dark history and take in the rewarding and world famous view.
From the Wineglass Bay Lookout you will return to the start of the walk with your guide and explore more of the Freycinet National Park, in particular the almighty Cape Tourville Lookout. It is here we often see whales (seasonal), seals and an incredible array of seabirds.
It is then time to reward yourself for all your great exercise and adventures. Lunch will be served overlooking the spectacular Hazards Mountains in the seaside town of Coles Bay. Your meal will be accompanied by a glass of premium East Coast wine.
Afetr lunch we commence our journey back towards Hobart but on the way we will pop in and visit one of the many stunning vineyards peppered along the East Coast and here you will be treated to a wine tasting.
We then jump back onboard the premium tour bus again to make our way back to Hobart. The drive home is usually spent sharing our experiences and tales with each other and celebrating our amazing day out. We’ll get you back to the Hobart waterfront (Brooke St Pier) by approximately 6pm.
