Freycinet National Park is on the East Coast of Tasmania, consisting of knuckles of granite mountains all but surrounded by azure bays and white sand beaches. The dramatic peaks of the Hazards welcome you as you enter the park.

The Freycinet Experience Walk is a four-day journey along the Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania’s east coast which combines coastal and mountain walking. The walk will take you along deserted beaches, up pink granite monoliths and through the heart of the rich native heath lands of the Freycinet National park, including the iconic Wineglass Bay. The walk covers between 33 and 37 km depending on which walking option you choose. Regardless of choice you will travel from the southern tip to the north of the Freycinet Peninsula in a continuous journey and the best part is that because this bushwalk is lodge-based you don’t have to carry a heavy back pack. No-one except your fellow walkers and the four staff will be at the Friendly Beaches Lodge with you. Stays at the lodge include food and wine.
The park is just outside the entrance to Freycinet. In addition to the caravan parks, there are some very comfortable cabins that can be booked. The park is a very short walk away, and is also conveniently located for the local shops. A fantastic base for exploring this incredible area.
Freycinet National Park is 2½-3 hours drive from either Hobart or Launceston. All roads to Freycinet are sealed, so a 4WD is not needed.
