With an early start to beat the crowds, enjoy uninterrupted views of Wineglass Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula from the Wineglass Bay Lookout. After making our way down through the coastal bush to Wineglass Bay, you'll have the opportunity to kick your shoes off and get your toes salty and sandy on the squeaky white shores. Enjoy a cuppa and morning tea as you soak in one of Australia's most beautiful beaches.

After crossing the coastal Isthmus Track that connects the East and West of the Freycinet Peninsula, take the opportunity to kick your shoes off and walk along the empty stretch of Hazards Beach.

Our guide David was excellent and brought us on a lovely walking route with many sightings of birds which he was very knowledgeable about, lovely beaches, flora and fauna and the most beautiful views. He was tireless in answering our questions and telling us stories, history and fun facts along the way. He was most patient and took great care of our party of 3. This was even more appreciated as my next tour to cradle mountain with Viator was with the most dreadful, impatient, rude and reckless tour guide.

Sarah is a great and charming guide. She has really good knowledge of flora, fauna and the indigenous people. She gauged the weather and arranged the tour perfectly for the spectacular views. Her humour and patience is admirable, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful day hike with her.

The perfect 1 day walk in Tasmania with the perfect guide! We were very fortunate to have Sara, the owner of Experiential Tasmania, guide our fabulous walk around Freycinet National Park and Wine Glass Bay. As soon as I booked the walk for two couples, the communication with Sara was amazing. She ensured we knew exactly what to pack and what to prepare for, so as a first time hiker. I felt very comfortable with what lay ahead. The walk is probably a 6 out of 10 in difficultly. Much of it is flat and we explored gorgeous bushland tracks as well as walking along divine white sandy beaches and higher vantage points overlooking the beauty of Wine Glass Bay. But there are some steep climbs to reach prime viewing points. Sarah chatted happily with us all, answering our questions and hit the right balance of chatting to the chatty and leaving the quieter walkers have their space. The backpacks, morning tea and lunch provided were perfect. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Just do it!

Sarah was a wonderful guide/host/conversationalist for our small group of four. The views to Wineglass Bay and onward were exceptional and we managed the 12 km hike with reasonable ease. Sarah was very patient and conscious of keeping liquids up at every stop. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Fantastic guide! Beautiful scenery and great camaraderie! Overall a terrific experience! Sarah, our guide was so knowledgeable and informative and just such a lovely person it made the trip!

This tour is a “must do”, as far as I’m concerned. The scenery is spectacular, and I was astounded by just how pristine and uncrowded it was. Sara was the absolute best! She is so passionate about what she does and where she lives. And she gave us lots of tips for the rest of our trips that we continue to follow (Thank you again, Sara!).

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day of exploring this amazing landscape. Sara was an exceptional guide. Sara was personable, knowledgeable and very accommodating to our group. We highly recommend this walking tour!

Rachael C

A lovely way to see Freycinet - a rigorous walk and very beautiful views. Sara was lovely and shared lots of interesting insights on the history of the area and Tasmania more generally. Booking was a breeze and she was very responsive with our queries beforehand. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved this tour. Sara was so knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We felt like we were truly immersed in local Tasmania culture. The beaches were beautiful and we also saw some local wildlife. Sara not only gave us so much information about the hike and Wineglass Bay, she also gave us tips for Freycinet and Hobart. And every recommendation she gave us was spot on! I would highly recommend this tour. We loved it. Thanks Sara!!
