Tasmania's east coast

Take in the stunning beauty of the Freycinet Peninsula and Wineglass Bay aboard the Schouten Passage II, a 150-seat eco-catamaran. View granite cliffs and see wildlife up close while crew provide commentary on flora, fauna, features and history. Enjoy a delicious Ploughman's lunch of fresh local produce and cool climate wines. Bookings available through Freycinet Lodge reception.

Sea kayaking the coastline of Freycinet National Park is one of Tasmania's unforgettable natural experiences. Explore secluded coves, paddling beneath the pink granite mountains and over some of the clearest waters you'll ever see. This three-hour tour is bookable via Freycinet Lodge reception.

Departing from Freycinet Lodge, enjoy a 5.5 hour guided walk to some of the park’s most loved destinations, including Wineglass Bay and Hazards Beach. You’ll learn of the animals that call this place home and the history behind it's gorgeous shores and pink granite peaks. A scrumptious picnic lunch is included. 

Enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Freycinet Peninsula, with a therapeutic or relaxation in-room massage at Freycinet Lodge.

Awaken your sense of adventure on an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) fully guided tour. Get off the beaten track and wind your way through eucalypt hills, boulder strewn valleys and coastal heath to where red granite, blue seas and fine white sands collide. Bookings available at reception.   

In partnership with Freycinet Marine Farm, Oyster Bay Tours bring you an intimate and authentic farm visit. Don a pair of waders and taste oysters fresh from the waters in which they are grown and learn from a genuine oyster farmer.    

Experience Tasmania’s East Coast like never before with a scenic flight in a luxurious helicopter. Marvel at stunning vistas, pink granite mountains, dazzling coastal scenery, and the iconic wineglass-shaped bay from above. 

The seaside town of Bicheno is home to a beautiful penguin colony. An after-dark tour with Bicheno Penguin Tours is the best way to see the penguins up close and safely. Please contact Lodge reception for times and bookings.

Incredible cool-climate wines are an east coast speciality. Follow the East Coast Wine Trail from Orford to St Helens and relax at a winery or pop into a cellar door. Meet the makers and sample products you won't find anywhere else.
