Beautiful
While it took a while to get there the stops on the way made it worthwhile when one gets to see the snow on the mountain. We were lucky in that the guide and driver made it a day to remember with both the driving and stories along the way. It was a beautiful day weather wise and the Experience.

Totally recommended
I can honestly say that this trip was fantastic. Our drivers,Trevor and Graeme, were exceptional. They were fun and were able to answer all our (my?!!) questions. Without Trevor’s help, I would not have completed the walk to Wineglass Bay lookout without possibly holding the group back. It was harder than I thought and with age and resulting lower fitness not on my side, it was a struggle. Without a rail I felt unsteady and I don’t normally have trouble with tour outings. Trevor was simply incredible. He stayed with me all the way to make sure I made it. His knowledge was awesome in everything Tasmanian (and lots of topics not) and he made it the most wonderful day. If older, please be aware it is not an easy walk- harder than I thought. The bakery staff where we stopped to buy our lunch were wonderful but there was not a lot there for vegan or vegetarian. However, the staff quickly made me a salad sandwich that was most appreciated. If concerned, better to take your own. Plenty of beautiful sight seeing at bathroom stops as well. I would definitely recommend this trip, especially with these fantastic guides.

Fun day!
Nicholas was an excellent guide/driver he was very clear with instructions and very knowledgeable about the area! Wineglass Bay is spectacular! The views are just amazing. The National Park is beautiful! Our ride to Launceston with Graham was nice - he also was very knowledgeable about the area! It’s a great trip to do!

Good views, needs better timing
Enthusiastic tour guide who entertained us with stories for the duration of the trip. Stopped in some lovely locations, although we would have liked some more time to eat lunch and spend at various locations (and be warned earlier that we are required to buy lunch in the morning at a Sorrell cafe with limited options so we could plan better/bring our own lunch) Some elderly couples were on our tour and they could not walk to some of the locations on the tour which was disappointing, and the tour guide was required to continue at a fast pace and leave them behind.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hobart to Launceston via Wineglass Bay - Active Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Hobart to Launceston via Wineglass Bay - Active Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $215 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hobart to Launceston via Wineglass Bay - Active Tour take?
+
Plan for about 11.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.
Is Hobart to Launceston via Wineglass Bay - Active Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hobart to Launceston via Wineglass Bay - Active Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Hobart to Launceston via Wineglass Bay - Active Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hobart to Launceston via Wineglass Bay - Active Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 11.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hobart to Launceston via Wineglass Bay - Active Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hobart?
+
On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), All Inclusive Bruny Island Day Tour Plus Guided Lighthouse Tour, Bruny Island Traveller - Gourmet Tasting and Sightseeing Day Trip from Hobart. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hobart?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hobart?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
