I’m glad a few of my dad jokes made the journey a little more entertaining too! Thanks for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Tasmania again soon. 😊 — Alex, Wineglass Bay Discovery Tours
This was one of the most memorable experiences of my Tasmania trip. Every stop Alex took us to was beautiful, and his commentary along the way was interesting and informative. We were also very lucky with the weather. The sky was clear and beautiful all day, and it didn’t rain at all. Although we visited many locations, there was still plenty of time to walk around, explore, and enjoy the scenery at each stop. I highly recommend this tour. It was excellent value for money

Had a great day completing the 1.5 hour round trip hike to the Wineglass Bay Lookout. Despite the long distance from Hobart there were plenty of stops along the way and lunch was lovely and relaxing at Devils Corner. Our guide Alex was organised, friendly, and knowledgeable.

A superb first day in Tasmania experience. Everything went like clockwork, from pick up to drop off! Alex is a fabulous tour guide, providing history, fun insights and excellent recommendations throughout the day. Wineglass Bay is beautiful and worth the excursion! We had a lot of fun hiking to the lookout points. Definitely recommend sturdy walking shoes. We enjoyed our other stops along the way - breakfast cafe, lovely winery for lunch and a stop in Richmond Village for the most divine ice cream and sweets!
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your first day in Tasmania and that everything ran smoothly from pickup to drop-off. Wineglass Bay really is worth the hike, and we’re happy you enjoyed the extra stops along the way too — especially Richmond and the winery lunch!

The tour van left CBD Hobart around 6:30am. Althougn there is a long van ride until we get to the national park, there are a lot to see beautiful views on the way. Thanksfully, the weather was very clear and sunny when I join this tour. The view from a lookout was perfect. Information from a tour guide helped us enjoy this excursion even more.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the clear weather, and the views from the lookout. Just to mention, we actually departed Hobart just before 7am, right on schedule, which also helps us avoid the busy morning bridge traffic and make the journey smoother for everyone. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you again on another Tasmanian adventure!
I recommend this tour since the tour guide is informative with the places that we will visit and he is friendly guy, you will be feel comfortable during the tour. Don't ask me the destinations, they are breathtaking!!!! Don't think to much, book this tour and I hope you get your experience like mine, perfecto~

Your kind words and recommendation truly mean a lot. “Perfecto” is exactly what we love to hear! 😄 Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you again on another adventure in the future!
We had a superb day with a small group,driven and guided by Alex. His knowledge and on road commentary was fantastic. He looked our group, especially my wife who experienced very slight personal difficult at a small stage and made sure of her and our comfort. I highly recommend this particular tour and Alex as a driver/guide and would do it again in the near future if it arises. Thanks very much. Geoff and Jenny
Thank you so much Geoff and Jenny for your wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure having you both on tour. I’m really glad you enjoyed the day, the commentary, and the experience with the small group. Thank you as well for your kind words about the care and comfort provided throughout the tour — making sure everyone feels looked after and enjoys the day is always very important to us. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back again in the future for another Tasmanian adventure. Thanks again and safe travels! Alex 😊
Tour is very well organised, you get to see so many places in one day which is something that one maybe couldn't do without this type of activity. Alex is very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating, with plenty of (fun) stories and information about Tasmania history in general. Uphill walk to Wineglass Bay lookout is worth it, can be tiring as some parts are pretty steep, however there are plenty of spots to stop and rest and you can walk at your own pace. Great lunch and wonderful view at Devil's corner, nice stop at Kate's Berry Farm for icecream, coffee and indulge in home made products. Overall, great experience and definitely recommend Alex and his tour!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the variety of locations visited throughout the day and that the tour gave you the opportunity to experience places that can be difficult to explore independently in such a short time. Alex loves sharing Tasmania’s history, local knowledge and a few fun stories along the way, so it’s fantastic to know that added to your experience. The Wineglass Bay lookout walk is definitely rewarding, and we appreciate you mentioning that guests can take it at their own pace with plenty of opportunities to rest along the way. It sounds like you also enjoyed some of our favourite local stops including Devil’s Corner and Kate’s Berry Farm — both perfect places to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. Thank you again for your recommendation and for joining the tour. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back to Tasmania again someday!
We had a really day out with Alex exploring Wineglass Bay, Honeymoon Bay and Richmond. Alex was very knowledgeable and the tour was well paced throughout the day. Communication with Alex prior to pick up etc was very good and he was right on time. The scenery is just stunning and we found this very good value for money. Bus ride was comfortable and the smallish group meant we could ask questions. We even got a quick tour of the old gaol during our time in Richmond while the others explored the township which was a bonus! Good walking shoes are recommended!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so pleased you had such an enjoyable day exploring Wineglass Bay, Honeymoon Bay and Richmond with Alex. It’s wonderful to hear that the tour pacing, communication and comfortable transport all helped make the experience smooth and relaxing. Alex always enjoys sharing his local knowledge and making the day feel personal and engaging, so we’re glad the smaller group atmosphere allowed plenty of interaction and questions along the way. Sounds like the bonus visit to the old gaol in Richmond added something extra special to the day too! And yes — good walking shoes definitely make the experience even better when exploring the beautiful scenery around Freycinet. Thank you again for joining us and for taking the time to share such a detailed review!
