This tour is fantastic for travellers who want to see as much of the East Coast as possible but have limited time. You will visit the amazing Bay of Fires, Wineglass Bay, and the beautiful scenery in the Freycinet National Park, plus much more!

Day 1 - Bay of Fires, Bicheno &amp; East Coast

This morning we head north-east to admire the amazing memorial carvings at Legerwood and taste the cheesy delights of the Pyengana Dairy Company.

In the afternoon it&rsquo;s time for the highlight of the day &ndash; the stunning Bay of Fires. With some of the whitest sand and clearest water you&rsquo;ll ever see, take your time to explore the beach or maybe take a swim. If you like oysters you can purchase some of the best nearby at St Helens.

In the evening we arrive at our accommodation in the seaside town of Bicheno. As darkness falls head to the beach to see the little penguins come ashore to nest.

Overnight &ndash; Bicheno

&nbsp;

Day 2 - Wineglass Bay, Freycinet &amp; Kate&rsquo;s Berry Farm

This morning there&rsquo;s an optional activity ($20pp) to check out animals at East Coast Natureworld, a popular wildlife sanctuary. We arrive at feeding time for the Tasmanian devils, wombats, kangaroos, koalas and many more animals that call the park home. (Extra cost)

Now it&rsquo;s time to pack a picnic lunch as we see another Tassie icon &ndash; the sparkling waters of Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park. I hope you had your Weetbix because this is a walk to get the heart pumping, with the reward of fantastic views from the lookout.

This afternoon we travel down the scenic Great Eastern Drive back to Hobart with a stop at Kate&rsquo;s Berry Farm at Swansea &ndash; a great afternoon tea stop.

&nbsp;

The agent staff is helpful and nice, and willing to make you understand the tour details. We have a good and happy two days journey. The driver is also a tourist guide and he explained the travel spots during our traveling. He play his selected funny music and so not boring throughout the driving period. We have stop for toilet or have some visit place in every 1-2 hours driving, so no worry will feel tired with long driving distance. However, the agent did not remind us this tour not suitable for elderly as need hiking for few hours in the second days, or otherwise may stay Coles Bay for few hours may feel boring. Besides, the described Kate Berry Farm is changed to Wine tasting that is not our expectation. Overall, the trip is quite suitable and funny for young people.

Great for young traveler
