Overview

Let your eyes follow the perfect curve where powdery white sand meets crystal-clear turquoise waters, and you will instantly understand why Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park is consistently ranked among the world's top ten beaches. Designed as a fully customizable private tour, this full-day coastal escape from Launceston offers absolute flexibility tailored to your group’s exact pace and preferences. Embark on the 30-minute uphill trek to the iconic lookout, hike down to the beach, or relax along the secluded white sands of Friendly Beaches and Honeymoon Bay. With stops at Cape Tourville lighthouse and optional gourmet visits to Freycinet Marine Farm and Devil's Corner, you can curate your dream Tasmanian day out. Your private tour will be led either by David personally - a 6th-generation Tasmanian with over 30 years of local tourism experience - or occasionally by one of his highly trusted, handpicked sidekick teammates. Whichever local expert holds the wheel, you will enjoy a dedicated driver-guide, private transport in a comfortable 14-seater minibus, rich storytelling, and an unforgettable, tailor-made wilderness experience! Highlights: 🍷 Iconic Wineglass Bay Lookout: Hike the rewarding 30-minute uphill track to witness world-famous panoramic views of turquoise waters and pink granite peaks. 🛠️ 100% Customizable Itinerary: Tailor your day to focus on what you love - add beach hikes, extra lookout stops, or skip places you've already seen. 🚐 Exclusive Private Minibus: Travel in comfort with up to 10 guests in an air-conditioned Toyota HiAce with tinted windows and a PA commentary system. 🌊 Coastal & Ocean Vistas: Marvel at sweeping ocean horizons at Cape Tourville Lighthouse, the pink granite outcrops at Honeymoon Bay, and Friendly Beaches. �� Gourmet Local Flavors: Optional stops to relish fresh oysters and seafood at Freycinet Marine Farm and enjoy local wine with views at Devil's Corner.

Additional Information

Ideal Guests: Perfect for travelers eager to explore Tasmania's natural beauty at their own pace, active travellers looking to hike, and families with children (kid-friendly).
Customization: Fully customizable! Speak with David or your guide to tailor the stops, skip places you've already visited, or focus on specific interests (photography, wine, food, walking).
Activity Level: High activity level involved if completing the 30-minute uphill hike to Wineglass Bay Lookout or the steep descent to the beach.
Seniors & Mobility Concerns: May not be suitable for guests with severe mobility issues or balance concerns due to steep, uneven tracks. However, low-impact scenic alternatives (Friendly Beaches, Cape Tourville boardwalks, Honeymoon Bay) are readily available.
What to Bring & Wear: Comfortable, sturdy walking or hiking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing in layers, sunscreen, hat, and camera, packed lunch (or purchase during the morning stop in Campbell Town or at Freycinet Marine Farm).

Plan B

Freycinet’s coastal tracks can occasionally be exposed to wet weather or extreme heat. - Rain or Slippery Tracks: If rain makes the steep Wineglass Bay track slippery, your guide will substitute the steep descent with low-level coastal walks at Friendly Beaches, Honeymoon Bay, and sheltered boardwalks at Cape Tourville. - Customization on the Fly: Because this is a private tour, if group members feel tired or prefer a longer winery/seafood lunch instead of extra hiking, the schedule can be adjusted on the day.
