East Coast Tours
Let us handle the road, the ferry and the bookings — from a day trip out of Hobart to the full Great Eastern Drive, the Bay of Fires, Maria Island or private touring.
Ways to Tour the East Coast
Let us handle the road, the ferry and the bookings while you take in the Great Eastern Drive — the flame-orange boulders of the Bay of Fires, car-free Maria Island, penguins at Bicheno and fresh oysters on Great Oyster Bay. From an early-start day trip out of Hobart to the full multi-day drive or fully private touring, here are the ways to see Tasmania’s east coast with a guide. Family-owned since 1974, tailored to your group and quoted per enquiry.

East Coast Tours — FAQ
What East Coast tours does Cooee Tours offer?
An East Coast day tour from Hobart, the full Great Eastern Drive tour, a Bay of Fires tour, a Maria Island tour and private tailored touring. Tell us your plans and we’ll design it.
Can you tour the East Coast as a day trip from Hobart?
Yes — a guided day tour from Hobart takes in the southern and mid coast around Swansea and Great Oyster Bay. The full route and the Bay of Fires suit a multi-day trip. See the Great Eastern Drive tour.
Are your tours private or group?
We specialise in private, tailored touring built around your group, dates and interests, with pick-up and the driving handled. Because every trip is different, we quote per enquiry rather than list fixed prices.
Does an East Coast tour include Freycinet?
It can — Freycinet sits mid-coast and has its own detail, but we can weave Wineglass Bay and the Hazards into your east-coast touring. See East Coast vs Freycinet to decide.
When is the best time for an East Coast tour?
The coast is lovely year-round, though summer is busiest so book ahead. See the best time to visit to plan around the weather and the crowds.
