Freycinet is a huge peninsula on the East Coast of Tasmania, near Coles Bay. It encompasses the entire Freycinet National Park in which there is a wide variety of plants and mammals. The park is also popular for its granite mountains which create beautiful colours adding to the coastlines appeal. The eastern side of the peninsula is also home to Wineglass Bay, which is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. One of the best vantage points to admire the breathtaking scenery from and get up close and personal to marine life is definitely going on a cruise with Wineglass Bay Cruises. We jumped on board with this very friendly team. The boat departs from Coles Bay and makes its way around the coastline of the peninsula to Wineglass Bay where a delicious snack made up of local products (including fresh oysters) and a glass of sparkling wine is served to you (photo). Upon arriving in the bay, you may even be lucky enough to have the unique experience of encountering a pod of dolphins playfully escort you to your anchor. Rastus, the dog skipper, will certainly let you know when he spots them! On the way back, you might even approach a seal or two leisurely swimming around in the bay. One thing is certain, after several hours of cruising, your eyes will be well and truly satisfied by the magic scenery and unique wildlife!
