WINEGLASS BAY TRACK AND OTHER
Read moreSeveral hikes can be made from the same starting point: the parking lot at the end of Freycinet Drive. While the first two walks follow a common route, the last one takes a completely separate route.
Detailed maps are available on the Tasmania Park & Wildlife Service website. Please feel free to refer to them.
Wineglass Bay Lookout - Medium to difficult - 1 to 1.15 hours round trip - 2.6 km.
The steep but beautifully landscaped trail weaves between gigantic, rounded graniteboulders before reaching the viewpoint. An occasional bonus for some is the sight of whales or dolphins in the bay in the distance. There are numerous steps along the way. Return via a signposted path parallel to the outward journey.
Wineglass Bay & Hazards Beach - Difficult - 4-5 hours - 11 km loop.
Follow the previous route to Wineglass Bay Lookout, then descend to Wineglass Bay beach. Cross the isthmus and return to the starting point (Wineglass Bay Carpak) on a long loop via Hazards Beach and Great Oyster Bay. The whole circuit skirts Mount Mayson.
Mt Amos - Difficult - Allow 3 hours round trip - 3.6 km.
The trail to the top of this mountain is different from the one to Wineglass Bay Lookout. It is steep and arduous, and climbs steeply over bare rock slabs. It can be slippery, especially after rain.
