Launceston to Hobart via Wineglass Bay Active Tour

14 Reviews

12 hours

Overview

This full-day tour gets you from Launceston to Hobart by taking the long way down Tasmania’s East Coast, with time at Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park along the way. It is a good option if you want to turn a travel day into sightseeing rather than just getting from A to B. Expect a fairly active day with short walks, scenic stops and a small-group setup. National Park entry fees are included, and you will travel with a guide throughout.

Why backpackers love it

If you are already heading from Launceston to Hobart, this is a practical way to fit in one of Tasmania’s best-known coastal areas without booking a separate trip. The small-group format keeps it more personal than a standard transfer, and having park entry included makes the day easier to budget for. It suits travellers who like walking, scenery and making the most of limited time, but it is not the right pick if you want a lazy travel day or have low fitness.

What to expect

The day starts with hotel pickup in Launceston between 7.00am and 7.30am from select hotels. From there, you travel south along the East Coast, stopping for walks and viewpoints, including time around Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay. This is an active tour rather than a simple coach transfer, so you will need a moderate level of fitness and be comfortable with a big day on the move. Guided walks are included, and luggage is limited to one small suitcase plus a day pack per person. The tour finishes in Hobart after around 12 hours.
