About

​​If you’re one of those people who like to start and/or end their day with an ocean swim,​ the Freycinet Peninsula Circuit is for you. The East Coast of Tasmania enjoys a milder climate than the rest of the island state, so this is also a great winter walk option – although your swim will be considerably more bracing.

Water availability on this circuit is scarce, so you need to be prepared to carry sufficient water – another reason to walk during winter when creek water is often more reliable. Walkers are advised to boil water before drinking.

Please walk the circuit in an anti-clockwise direction from the Wineglass Bay carpark, down the western side of the peninsula. This helps minimise the spread of Phytoph​thora​ (root rot).​

Take your time to savour the changing hues and textures of Freycinet’s spectacular granite mountain ranges, its extraordinarily diverse and colourful forests and heathlands, and iconic Tasmanian wildlife. Stroll its beaches, splash in its waters. There’s reason this landscape is world-renowned. ​​
