About this tour
This 10.5-hour circuit from Hobart sweeps through Tasmania's east coast, anchored by a 1.5-hour walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout where the Hazards frame one of the country's most photographed beaches. You'll travel the Great Eastern Drive past Maria Island's convict ruins, explore Freycinet's white-sand bays, taste local wine and wood-fired pizza at Devil's Corner, and return via Richmond's 1830s convict bridge and Rosny Hill's views back over the city.

What to expect
Expect a full day moving between short stops and one substantial walk. The Wineglass Bay ascent is moderate but steady; the path is well-formed but unshaded in places. You'll spend roughly two hours at Freycinet exploring multiple bays, with time to swim or wade if conditions allow. The winery and potential berry farm visits are leisurely, built around the pace of the group. Most time is spent on the bus or moving between lookouts, so bring layers and water. The drive itself is the draw—coastal ranges, cleared farmland, and gradually opening views reward attention from the window.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required for the Wineglass Bay walk; cardiovascular strain isn't suitable for everyone. Wear supportive shoes and bring sun protection. The tour excludes meals but there's scope to eat at the winery or farm stop. No hot drinks allowed on the bus; bring a water bottle. Children under 8 not permitted; infants sit on adult laps.
