The Narrative
Wineglass Bay Discovery Tours runs full-day tours from Hobart to the Freycinet National Park — one of Australia's most spectacular coastal destinations and home to the bay that consistently appears on lists of the world's most beautiful beaches. Based at 16–20 Davey Street in Hobart, the operation provides fully licensed and accredited day tours that combine the region's natural grandeur with its wine and heritage landscape.
The full-day itinerary departs Hobart and moves through a series of carefully chosen stops along the east coast: a panoramic lookout over the city at Rosny Hill, the convict-built Richmond Bridge and its surrounding colonial village, Buckland Church with its remarkable 14th-century stained-glass windows, Raspins Beach at Orford with views to Maria Island, and the coastal wilderness of the Freycinet Peninsula itself — Honeymoon Bay, Sleepy Bay, Cape Tourville, and the lookout over Wineglass Bay.
Guide Alex brings local knowledge and genuine warmth to every tour — guests consistently describe the experience as well worth the full day and great value for the breadth of what is covered. The tour's approach to pacing and its combination of wine country, colonial history, and one of Australia's iconic natural landscapes makes it one of the most complete single-day experiences available from Hobart.
With 145 five-star reviews, Wineglass Bay Discovery Tours has established itself as the go-to operator for guests wanting to reach Freycinet from Hobart on a day tour with a knowledgeable guide rather than a self-drive.
