The service takes you into the heart of the Freycinet National Park to Hazards Beach which is a relatively flat 2km (approximately 30 minute) walk along a bushland track to Wineglass Bay. Guests can choose a return service or or walk one way along the iconic Wineglass Bay or Hazards Circuit bushwalking tracks. Freycinet Aqua Express also provides a daily service to Cooks Beach.

Nestled in the heart of Coles Bay, Geographe Restaurant & Espresso is the perfect place to enjoy fresh local flavours in a relaxed coastal setting. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menu features barista-made coffee, woodfired pizzas, fresh seafood, hearty classics and seasonal Tasmanian produce.

This highly-personalised scenic/wildlife cruise to iconic Wineglass Bay takes a minimum of four hours. We are the only tour operator currently licenced by the Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service to land guests ashore at Wineglass Bay. So we take advantage of it to include around an hour ashore for a picnic, walk, swim, or a spot of fishing. You and your party will swing by equally-spectacular Schouten Island and explore Freycinet National Park's pristine beaches, bays, and islands en route. Inspiring beaches on one side, soaring sea cliffs, caves, coastline, and open ocean on the other. Extend the duration of your cruise at your discretion with flexible departure times, weather permitting of course. BYO food and beverages. Basic tea and coffee facilities are provided onboard.
