Freycinet National Park
Freycinet National Park is a true Tasmanian gem, celebrated for its dramatic coastal landscapes, rugged mountains, and pristine beaches. The park is dominated by the striking Hazards mountain range and the world-famous Wineglass Bay, a crescent of white sand framed by turquoise waters. Coles Bay serves as the ideal base, a peaceful seaside town with cafés, accommodations, and stunning views that let you soak in the scenery at any time of day. You can explore the park in many ways: take a Bay Cruise to admire the coastline from the water, spot seals and seabirds, and discover hidden coves and cliffs accessible only by boat. For a more active adventure, kayak along the calm waters of the bay, paddling past secluded beaches and granite outcrops. On land, the park offers a variety of walks, from short strolls along beaches to the moderately challenging Wineglass Bay Lookout walk, which rewards you with panoramic views over one of the world’s most photographed beaches.
