A brilliant day exploring the East Coast!
We had such a lovely day on the Wineglass Bay tour! Matt was a fantastic guide, so down to earth, friendly and incredibly patient. It’s a long drive, but definitely worth it. The walk up to the Wineglass Bay lookout in Freycinet National Park is a bit of a workout, but the views at the top are absolutely stunning and make it all worthwhile. We stopped at Honeymoon Bay for lunch, which was a lovely spot for a break before continuing on. We also learnt a lot about the area’s nature and history along the way. We finished with a stop at Devil’s Corner winery before heading back to Hobart, which was a really nice way to round out the day. Definitely worth the trip. Thanks, Matt, for a wonderful day!

My favourite day in Tassie!
Had the loveliest day trip here, got very lucky with the weather too! Our guide, Patrick, was the best! Super helpful, gave us a lot of insight into Tasmanian history and local spots. The hike was a fun challenge, and the views definitely made up for it. The Cape Tourville Circuit Walk and stop at Devil's Corner were my personal highlights. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a day out in Freycinet/Wineglass Bay :)

Hobart: Wineglass Bay & Freycinet National Park - Active Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Hobart: Wineglass Bay & Freycinet National Park - Active Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $121 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: Wineglass Bay & Freycinet National Park - Active Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 11 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: Wineglass Bay & Freycinet National Park - Active Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 160 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hobart: Wineglass Bay & Freycinet National Park - Active Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hobart: Wineglass Bay & Freycinet National Park - Active Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hobart: Wineglass Bay & Freycinet National Park - Active Day Tour?
+
Around 56 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hobart: Wineglass Bay & Freycinet National Park - Active Day 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), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Day Tour in Mt. Field, Mt. Wellington, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Richmond. 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.
