This one-way day tour doubles as a practical transfer between Launceston and Hobart, with a full day exploring Freycinet National Park along the way. You’ll travel the Great Eastern Drive, visit Wineglass Bay, and choose between a bigger self-guided hiking window or a more relaxed guided walk to the lookout and Cape Tourville Lighthouse. There’s also time for a swim at Honeymoon Bay, and you can finish with fresh seafood and wine at Freycinet Marine Farm if you’re keen to buy your own lunch or snacks there.

Why backpackers love it
It’s a handy option if you’re already moving between Tasmania’s two main cities and want more than a basic transfer day. You get transport, park entry and Hobart drop-off sorted, while still seeing one of Tasmania’s standout coastal areas. The mix of guided and independent time also helps: active travellers can go harder, while others can stick with the lookout walk and scenic stops. Just be aware it suits people with at least moderate fitness, especially if you plan to hike.
You’ll be picked up from selected Launceston hotels and travel south in an air-conditioned vehicle with commentary from the driver-guide. Once in Freycinet National Park, the day splits depending on how active you want to be. Keen hikers get up to four hours to explore on their own, with options including the Wineglass Bay hike or the steeper Mt Amos climb. If you’d rather keep it moderate, the guide leads a 1.5-hour return uphill walk to the Wineglass Bay lookout, then a gentler walk around Cape Tourville Lighthouse. Later, there’s a stop at Honeymoon Bay for a swim, followed by the chance to buy seafood such as oysters, prawns or crayfish at Freycinet Marine Farm before drop-off in Hobart. A national parks pass is included, and there’s luggage space for one large suitcase plus one carry-on per person.
