The Experience

What your day looks like

Freycinet Aqua Express is the fastest and easiest way to Wineglass Bay Beach. Cruise and walk in just one hour. Most explore this iconic spot via the challenging 3km Wineglass Bay Lookout Walk, complete with over 1,300 steep stairs one way. Enjoy the beauty of Freycinet not just by foot, but by water. Freycinet Aqua Express allows you to tailor your journey, offering a return coastal transfer with an easy bushwalk so you can experience one of Tasmania's most iconic natural locations. Enjoy a scenic 30-minute cruise along the striking granite coastline of Great Oyster Bay, while our local guides share fascinating stories about the area's history and wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for seals, seabirds, dolphins and even migrating whales who might pop up to say hi! Upon landing at Hazards Beach, it is a gentle 2-kilometre bushwalk along the Isthmus Track to Wineglass Bay. This 30-minute walk takes you through classic Australian bushland, where you'll have a chance to spot native flora and fauna along the well-marked trail. Keep a lookout for friendly echidna and wallabies as you make your way to the soft white sands and crystal-clear waters of Wineglass Bay. Be sure to pack your beach gear and a picnic. We recommend taking a few hours to unwind on the pristine beach and dip your toes in the sparkling sea before heading back to Hazards Beach where you'll be picked up and taken back to Coles Bay.
