Visitors to Tasmania's Freycinet Peninsula have the chance to experience the national park at its finest with a new five-and-a-half-hour guided walk from Freycinet Lodge.
The Freycinet Walking Tour, for a maximum of eight guests, starts with a gentle 45-minute climb to the Wineglass Bay viewing platform.
From there, walkers descend to Wineglass Bay beach for a freshly brewed cuppa before heading west to the peninsula along the Isthmus Track to Hazard's Beach, an impressive stretch of empty beach that not a lot of people visit.
Guests will learn about the unique animals that live there and the peninsula's history, including the pink granite peaks of the Hazards Mountains.
After a gourmet picnic lunch at the southern-most point of Hazards Beach, the Freycinet Aqua Taxi will pick guests up off the sand for the 30-minute journey back to the Freycinet Lodge jetty.
The walk is offered by Experiential Tasmania, which is owned and operated by highly experienced walking couple Sara and James Barnes, who formerly managed the Bay of Fires Lodge Walk with the Tasmanian Walking Company.
The Freycinet Walking Tour provides a qualified and experienced walking guide, day packs, rain jackets, a water bottle, thermos, lunch, morning tea, sunscreen and water.
Guests need a reasonable level of fitness and must be comfortable walking between eight and nine kilometres carrying a light weight day pack along beaches, rocky headlands and steps.
