About this tour
Drive from Hobart to Launceston across 11.5 hours, threading through coastal villages and into Freycinet National Park for a moderate walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout. The centrepiece is a 60-minute uphill trek rewarding you with views across the crescent beach and granite peaks—or push further to reach the sand itself. You'll also taste oysters fresh from the marine farm, explore Honeymoon Bay, and visit Cape Tourville Lighthouse before heading north to Launceston.

What to expect
You'll depart early (7–7:30 AM) from a central Hobart hotel and travel northeast through seaside towns, arriving at Freycinet by mid-morning. After an oyster stop, your guide leads you uphill through open woodland to the lookout—expect steady gradient, good track conditions, and 360-degree views at the summit. Depending on your fitness and preference, you can either walk back down (or continue to the beach), then explore nearby attractions. Lunch is self-catered (bring your own or buy along the way). Regroup by early afternoon for the drive to Launceston, arriving late evening.
