Launceston to Hobart via Wineglass Bay Day Trip LWBH

Hobart to Launceston via Wineglass Bay Day Trip

An action-packed tour day from Launceston to Hobart via the world-famous Wineglass Bay and the East Coast.  

We depart Launceston and travel via the well-preserved Georgian townships of Evandale and Campbell Town.  We make a short stop in Campbell Town where you can collect some lunch to take along for the day ahead.  You will have time to discover the Convict Brick Trail that extends through the town, visit the Red Bridge, and check out the tree sculptures depicting the history of the town.

Then it’s onwards to arrive at Freycinet National Park.  There we walk as a group to the Wineglass Bay Lookout; this is a moderate uphill walk of around 45- 60 minutes.  Once at the top, you are rewarded with that world-famous view of Wineglass Bay and the surrounding Freycinet National Park. Enjoy the moment, take in the views, and let our tour guides help you with those sought-after photographs.  The walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout is one of the Great Short Walks of Tasmania and requires good mobility and fitness.  It is 1.3 km uphill, before returning downhill.

From the lookout, you have the option to return to the start of the walk with our tour guide, or for the keen hikers you can choose to spend the rest of your time completing the walk down to Wineglass Bay beach, a 2.5-hour return walk.  Our tour has ample time for you to do the full walk to Wineglass Bay Beach and return.  Once on the beach you can enjoy your lunch in this stunning setting, head into the water for a swim, or wander along the white sands.  This is one of the most rewarding walks in Tasmania in a truly stunning location.

If you prefer to walk to the Lookout and return, this is the shorter walking option, then we return from the Lookout with our Tour Guide and explore other areas of Freycinet National Park.  Visit Honeymoon Bay for a lunch break, and then move onto Cape Tourville Lighthouse, another of Tasmania’s ‘60 Great Short Walks’.

We re-group ready for the return journey.  Our final stop on the East Coast is the stunning Devil’s Corner Winery. On-site, you can enjoy a wine tasting, wood-fired pizza, fresh seafood and oysters from Freycinet Marine Farm, and ice creams all available at your own expense on the day.

Then it is onwards arriving in Launceston around 6.00 pm.

We anticipate you will travel with 1 suitcase/travel pack per person, and your day pack for the day. If you have excess luggage, please let our team know prior to travelling.
