Wineglass Bay Cruise

See Freycinet from a different angle. Departing Coles Bay, a Wineglass Bay cruise follows the peninsula’s wild coast — the pink-granite Hazards and towering sea cliffs sliding past — and rounds into the famous curve of Wineglass Bay itself. Along the way, watch for dolphins, white-bellied sea eagles, rugged Schouten Island and, in season, migrating whales. We arrange it as part of your trip, quoted per enquiry.

Good to Know

Wineglass Bay Cruise — FAQ

Where does the Wineglass Bay cruise depart?

Cruises leave from Coles Bay, the gateway town for Freycinet National Park, and follow the coast around the peninsula into Wineglass Bay. Departure times and days vary by season, so check current details when you book.

What do you see on the cruise?

The pink-granite Hazards and sea cliffs from the water, the curve of Wineglass Bay, rugged Schouten Island, and wildlife including dolphins, white-bellied sea eagles and, in season, migrating whales.

How is the cruise different from the Wineglass Bay walk?

The lookout walk gives you the classic view from above; the cruise shows you the coast, cliffs and wildlife from sea level without the climb. Many visitors love doing both.

Is the cruise suitable for all ages?

Generally yes — a boat cruise suits families and those who’d rather not tackle the lookout climb. It is weather-dependent, so we build in flexibility and confirm conditions on the day.

How much does it cost?

We arrange the cruise as part of a tailored trip and quote per enquiry rather than list fixed prices. Tell us your dates and group for a quote, and check current departure details.
