Le Shack

This highly-personalised scenic/wildlife cruise to iconic Wineglass Bay takes a minimum of four hours. We are the only tour operator currently licenced by the Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service to land guests ashore at Wineglass Bay. So we take advantage of it to include around an hour ashore for a picnic, walk, swim, or a spot of fishing. You and your party will swing by equally-spectacular Schouten Island and explore Freycinet National Park's pristine beaches, bays, and islands en route. Inspiring beaches on one side, soaring sea cliffs, caves, coastline, and open ocean on the other. Extend the duration of your cruise at your discretion with flexible departure times, weather permitting of course. BYO food and beverages. Basic tea and coffee facilities are provided onboard.

Situated just 1.6 kilometres south of Freycinet Peninsula, Schouten Island is an isolated paradise which is fantastic for snorkelling, canoeing and camping. Part of Freycinet National Park, the island is approximately 6 kilometres wide by 7 kilometres long and is bounded by a picturesque coastline of small sandy beaches and rocky granite bays.

Wineglass Bay Cruises operates an unforgettable four-and-a-half-hour eco-cruise around the Freycinet National park coastline from Coles Bay to Wineglass Bay. Be enthralled by the stunning granite coastline, including the dramatic pink peaks of the Hazards range. Discover a coast dotted with sparkling white sand beaches, including Cooks and Bryans beaches, only accessible by water or a full-day bushwalk. Explore the inner passage of remote Schouten Island, home to little penguins and short-tailed shearwaters, before heading into the Tasman Sea towards Wineglass Bay. Look out for various hidden sea caves, blowholes and waterfalls amongst the sheer granite cliffs. Take in the sheer beauty of Wineglass Bay from the rarely seen perspective of the water. Keep a lookout for dolphins, seals, albatross and sea eagles and whales are regularly sighted on their annual migration from September to December and May to July. Wineglass Bay Cruises departs daily. Closed Christmas Day.
