Australia’s oldest national park is also home to some of its most stunning natural assets. Visit on a day trip from Launceston or Hobart; full-day itineraries typically include a hike to the Wineglass Bay lookout, as well as stops at towns such as Orford, Triabunna, and Coles Bay. To experience more of Tasmania’s wonders, opt for a multi-day tour, which usually includes the national park, along with Cradle Mountain, Mount Field National Park, Montezuma Falls, and a Tasmanian Devil animal sanctuary.
If you’re looking for adventure, tackle the 19-mile (30-kilometer) Freycinet Peninsula Circuit, a 3- to 4-day bush trek along rainforest trails and sandy beaches—you might even spot dolphins and wombats.
