One of our first stops on the tour is at the peaceful seaside town of Orford, where we stop for a coffee/tea break and to stretch the legs. You will learn about the local history and current events of this region and admire admire the seabirds or perhaps the local dolphins as your Local Guide will tell you all about the exciting past, present and future of this region including Maria Island. Our stop here isn't long, but it is always pleasurable and sets the scene for the rest of our fun day up the coast.

We will explore Coles Bay from sea-level and in more detail as we approach our hike to the Wineglass Bay Lookout for world famous views of the world famous beach.

Beat the crowds with an early hike to the Wineglass Bay Lookout where your Guide will assist you to get the very best photo of Tasmania's most iconic natural landscape. Learn the captivating history of this bay and how it came to be called Wineglass Bay as your local Guide shares the regions deep secrets and tales. **IMPORTANT** Please understand that in order to access the Wineglass Bay Lookout, we need to walk approximately 1.4kms, up hill all the way, for a total elevation of 200m. The track is a combination of well-formed gravel path and some very well constructed rock steps. We typically take 35-45mins to complete the hike up. The walk requires a moderate level of fitness/mobility. We do have alternatives for those with mobility/fitness issues who do not wish to attempt this hike/part of the tour. However, you should advise your Guide of this as soon as possible and absolutely before lunch, so that they can explain the options and make the alternative arrangements as required.

This is an awe-inspiring viewpoint where our guests often say they feel like they are on the edge of the world. Cast your eyes as far as the eye can see across the Tasman Sea, looking for whales, super pods of dolphins, schools of tuna, local friendly seals and sea lions. Capture amazing photographs of the Freycinet Peninsula and get the Hazards Mountains, the eastern part of the Freycinet Peninsula and Wineglass Bay all in one incredible panoramic landscape! This is a 600m circuit walk and never fails to leave you feeling amazed at how spacious, natural and beautiful Tasmania's East Coast is.

After walking up a decent hunger and thirst, we will sit on the deck of the Geographe restaurant and enjoy a delicious lunch whilst tasting some premium wines from the East Coast wine region of Tasmania and admiring the views of The Hazards mountains.

If you fancy a little dessert after lunch pop into the Coles Bay Ice Creamery and treat yourself to a Tasmanian made ice-cream.
