We hired an aqua taxi to take us to Hazard beach and made the short walk over to Wineglass bay beach from there. The taxi ride was about 25 minutes each way although it got windy so coMing back was an Adventure with a capital A! Our skipper, Taz, was very personable and gave us some great tips and did a great job piloting the stable and safe boat. The walk across to the nearly deserted beach in Wineglass Bay took about 35 min on mostly flat ground. The only tricky part was the scramble up and over the sand dune at the start of the trek-which is pretty steep and has boards embedded -we wore hiking shoes for that then flip flops for the boardwalk and packed sandy trail-a pretty easy walk overall. There's a bathroom over at wineglass bay but nothing else so bring along wAter and anything else you may need. Cost of water taxi for us was $AUD 60/person for the round t read more

If you thought Freycinet was beautiful by land, you can only imagine how gorgeous it is by sea. Our guided private kayak tour absolutely blew us away. It helped that the morning conditions were perfect, and that our guide was both knowledgeable and hilarious, but I can't imagine anyone, at any athletic level, not loving this activity. This was truly a highlight of our trip to Tassie. After a quick paddle starting around Muirs Beach, crossing Coles Bay, we hugged the coast below the Hazards, even stoping at a beach where we could see old mining and whaling equipment for a quick snack of cookies and coffee.
