About this tour
This one-way journey traces the Great Eastern Drive from Launceston to Hobart, stopping at Freycinet National Park for a full day exploring Wineglass Bay. Depending on fitness and preference, you can tackle the bay's signature hike to Mt Amos, follow a guided 1.5-hour walk to the lookout, or choose shorter coastal strolls. Swimming at Honeymoon Bay and tasting local oysters and seafood at the marine farm round out the 10.5-hour route, which ends in Hobart.

What to expect
You'll spend most of the day in Freycinet National Park with genuine flexibility. Strong hikers get up to four hours to roam independently—the Wineglass Bay circuit and Mt Amos ascent are both on offer. Those preferring company tackle a moderate 1.5-hour uphill walk to the bay lookout, then descend for an easier amble around the lighthouse. Either way, you'll have time to cool off in the bay or at Honeymoon Beach. Late afternoon brings you to the working oyster farm where you can graze on fresh seafood and local wines before the final leg into Hobart arrives early evening.
Good to know
Bring swimmers, sun protection, and sturdy walking shoes. Lunch isn't included, though shops exist along the route. You'll need moderate fitness; the hikes involve real elevation. Not suitable if you have spinal issues or poor heart health. The tour ends in Hobart—accommodation isn't provided.
