Absolutely fantastic day trip to Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park. Our tour guide Alex was absolutely awesome. Went over and above to ensure we had an amazing time. Stopped at Kate's Berry Farm on our way back to Hobart where we enjoyed an ice cream and coffee. Definitely recommend doing this trip and stopping by Kate's Berry Farm.

Amazing day. Breathtaking views of misty mountains, beautiful beaches, quaint towns, forests, rivers and islands. The mountain hike was definitely worth the awesome view of beautiful Wineglass Bay. Good path and steps uphill. Wildflowers were beautiful. Relaxing bus road trip. Very friendly, knowledgeable and supportive tour guide, Alex. Was nice to stop at some lovely beaches and towns. Devil's Corner winery lunch was delicious and relaxing.

A full and interesting day exploring the Freycinet national park. Alex was very knowledgeable of the area and was able to clearly explain what each element of the tour included. The travel was well paced with plenty of food and bathroom breaks. Managed to see many beautiful things all in a single day which would have not been possible if we’d tried to do this on our own. Highly recommended if you only have limited time in the region.
