Most Freycinet kayak trips point you at Wineglass Bay from the same overworked lookout everyone photographs. This one puts you on the water instead, gliding beneath the peninsula's pink granite peaks at sea level, a view no clifftop photo can match. Your guide meets you at Muirs Beach in Coles Bay, gets you fitted out and briefed, and then it's around three hours on the water tracing the coastline. Expect crystal clear water, sea eagles overhead, and a good chance of spotting fur seals, sting rays, dolphins or, in season, migrating whales along the way. Midway through, you land on a secluded beach for a break, complete with freshly brewed hot drinks and cookies and a warm jacket if the wind picks up, before paddling back into Coles Bay. If mornings are more your thing, our Sunrise Breakfast Kayak swaps the wildlife spotting window for golden hour light and a full breakfast at Honeymoon Bay. Or if you would rather see the peninsula on foot, our Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park day tour takes you up to the lookout instead. This tour has multiple options:
  • The Freycinet Paddle, a 3 hour daytime kayak tour from Coles Bay
  • Sunrise Breakfast Kayak at Freycinet National Park, an early morning paddle with breakfast included
  • Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park Day Tour, for exploring the peninsula on foot instead
Check availability for your preferred date, and start planning your time on the water.
