Top Coles Bay How to Get Around

Freycinet Bay National Park is renowned for its pristine white beaches and rugged, pink granite peaks. On this small-group tour, explore the park’s natural wonders on a guided one-way walk to Wineglass Bay Beach, Hazards Beach, and other beautiful lookouts. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, stop for morning tea in Wineglass Bay, and enjoy lunch on the beach before traveling back to the starting point by boat.

Spend around half the day exploring the coast of Tasmania’s scenic Freycinet National Park on this easygoing kayaking tour. If you’re not an experienced kayaker, don’t worry – all kayaking gear is provided free of charge and participants receive personalized coaching and guidance from the guides on this small group tour. Get striking landscape photos of Freycinet’s forests and mountains from the sea and even disembark at one of the park’s isolated beaches.

Set out from Coles Bay on a half-day cruise across the clear waters of Wineglass Bay, an easy way to experience the highlights of Tasmania’s Freycinet Peninsula from the water in just a few hours—including spots hard to reach by land. Sail past white-sand beaches and dramatic granite cliffs while taking in the area’s coastal scenery, with the option to upgrade and enjoy a freshly prepared onboard lunch. As you cruise, keep watch for local wildlife such as dolphins, sea eagles, and migrating humpback whales (depending on the season).

Tucked along Tasmania's east coast, Wine Glass Bay is usually only accessible via a challenging bushwalk. Instead, hop aboard a bay cruise in Coles Bay and get dropped off at Hazards Beach. From there, Wine Glass Bay is an easy, roughly 30-minute walk away—making for a much easier visit. Enjoy free time to relax and swim before the ferry whisks you back on the return trip.
