Freycinet National Park with Wineglass Bay

The Freycinet National Park is crowded with forests, wildflowers (including orchids) and native wildlife. The towering walls of pink and grey granite, patched in orange lichen, soar straight out of the water.

The highlight of Freycinet National Park is undoubtedly Wineglass Bay. The bay’s perfect curve of white sand, and the blue sea and skies form a stunning picture from the lookout.

In 2006, editors of Frommer’s guides in the U.S. named Wineglass Bay as one of their top 10 favourite beaches in the world. Prior to that, in 1999, American travel magazine "Outside" named Wineglass Bay one of the top ten beaches in the world, saying, "This beach on the Tasman Sea forms a half-moon shape so precise it could be the smiley mouth on a Have A Nice Day button. I was the only human in sight. This place defines the word getaway; it’s rugged, serene and vast."

Have a look at our holiday to Tasmania where we visit Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay as part of our tour.
