A bit more on my Freycinet day. Friends and I took a Pennicott Wilderness Adventure rise - "Wineglass Bay Cruise". I had a place at Coles Bay at Freycinet peninsula for about 20 years but never went to the seaward side of the peninsula, except walks to the famous Wineglass Bay beach. We bought these tickets 'cheaply' when Pennicott offered discounted vouchers during the covid time.
Pennicott runs a number of boat/fast boat tours in Tas and I'd recommend them. They have 19 busses and 17 boats!! Busses for picking pax up when the ride doesn't finish where it starts.
For this day trip Coles Bay - Wineglass Bay - Coles Bay we chose the 'upper deck';, about $250/ea discounted. Downstairs is standard seating in rows. Pics of the upper deck (newly refurbished in sassafras and Huon pine!) and the boat here.
The wines were exceptional - top quality Tasmanians, most from the east, such as Gala, The Bend, Spring Vale and Milton. I think about 10 choices in all.
We were hoping to see some whales - but didn't. Lots of seals though. "Aren't I beautiful? Take my picture"
Our captain today was no less than the business' founder and I think, owner, Rob Pennicott
The orange lichens on the granites are well-admired
