Wineglass BayCruises

A 4½-hour cruise threads the waterways around Freycinet National Park, running from Coles Bay out to the crescent of Wineglass Bay along Tasmania's granite east coast. The purpose-built catamaran Schouten Passage II carries passengers past sea cliffs and sheltered coves where dolphins, fur seals, sea eagles and, in season, whales appear. Climate-controlled lounges open onto outdoor decks, and guests choose between a seated lunch service or an adults-only option with Tasmanian oysters, meats and wine. Departs daily except Christmas Day from the Coles Bay jetty.
