Freycinet & Wineglass Bay Walking Tour
4-Day Ultimate Freycinet & Wineglass Pack-Free Walk – Guided Adventure with Wow-Mazing Inclusions by Life’s An Adventure
Explore Tasmania’s spectacular East Coast on our 4-Day Freycinet & Wineglass Bay Walk – a Pack-Free guided journey through one of Australia’s most breathtaking national parks. With its dramatic pink granite peaks, white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, Freycinet is a destination of striking natural beauty. But walking is only part of the adventure. This unforgettable journey also includes a scenic helicopter flight on the final day, taking you to a boutique Tasmanian winery for a private wine tasting and celebratory long lunch — a spectacular finale to your time on the East Coast. Your journey features a variety of hand-picked trails that explore the best of Freycinet National Park — from secluded coves and coastal heathlands to high granite summits with sweeping views. A standout experience is the iconic Wineglass Bay, often listed among the top ten beaches in the world, where you can relax and soak in the serenity of your surrounds. Each night, unwind in style at the iconic Freycinet Lodge. Nestled among the coastal bushland and overlooking Great Oyster Bay, the lodge offers a warm, inviting base with incredible views and gourmet dining — the perfect place to recharge after a day on the trail.
Thanks to our Pack-Free approach, you’ll walk each day with only a light daypack, while our knowledgeable guides handle all the details. Along the way, they’ll share insights into the area’s geology, wildlife and cultural heritage, bringing deeper meaning to the landscapes around you.
Whether you’re here to walk, unwind, or celebrate, this tour blends nature, indulgence, and adventure into a truly memorable escape.
Pack-Free Walk
Carry only a day pack with your water, lunch and camera
For those that love hiking, but don’t like the hard slog of carrying a heavy, multi-day hiking pack, you’ll be delighted to know you only need to carry a small day pack with your lunch, camera and water. Experience spectacular views from the top of Mt Graham, looking over the entire Freycinet National Park. This view is normally only accessible by walking overnight on the 3-4 day Freycinet Peninsula Walk but on our walking tour, we take a boat cruise to remote Cooks Beach and walk to Mt Graham from here. Each day we return to our accommodation to freshen up before one of our signature quality restaurant meals with local Tasmanian wine and produce.
Wow-mazing Helicopter Flight to Winery
Wow-mazing inclusion
On the final day of your Freycinet adventure, enjoy a truly unforgettable experience as you board a scenic helicopter flight from the coastline. Soar above the Freycinet Peninsula, taking in sweeping views of the Hazards mountain range, pristine beaches, and the crystal-clear waters of Great Oyster Bay. Your flight delivers you in style to a renowned Tasmanian winery, where a warm welcome awaits. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided wine tasting featuring cool-climate varietals, followed by a celebratory long lunch crafted with local seasonal produce. It’s the perfect way to toast an incredible journey — indulgent, scenic, and uniquely Tasmanian.
