Coles Bay 2026 Calendar of Events

Staff very friendly go out of their way to assist. Amazing views from a comfortable boat. Lovely lunch.

Fantastic cruise with very friendly staff- very safety conscious and constantly assisting people to balance outside if needed we saw a few whales and it was a very informative cruise with many stops to show us the beautiful cliff faces and caves and even an eagle and it’s nest … delicious lunch was provided and you can buy lovely coffee and very fresh muffins on board and alcoholic drinks - all in all a great day out- highly recommend

Shane provided a safe and fun energy to our group of 5. It was a bit breezy but we handled it under her professional and watchful eyes and when the wind dropped it was simply a glorious morning. We learnt about the area, had a lovely morning tea and soaked up the fresh air and sunshine.

Our guide Abbey was fabulous - she had called with plenty of notice the morning of the kayaking to let us know about a change in winds/weather & an alternate plan to accommodate. Abbey was thorough with orientating everyone to their kayak and tips and tricks, checking in with us along the windy paddle & serving up a delicious morning tea to enjoy! Despite the weather, a fabulous morning was had, saw a seal close by and learnt a bit about the history of the area! Would recommend!

Andrew was an incredibly attentive guide who went the extra mile to share insights about the diverse wildlife we encountered along the hike. His genuine passion for the environment made the entire experience both engaging and enjoyable. Although our trip was postponed by a day due to less-than-ideal weather, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The rescheduled day offered much better conditions, and we truly appreciated the flexibility to adjust our plans. One of the highlights was the delicious homemade lunch, which we enjoyed at the stunning Wineglass Bay—an unforgettable setting. We even had time for a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters before taking a scenic water taxi ride to visit a seal colony, rounding off the day perfectly. Overall, it was a well-organised and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Tasmania’s natural beauty in a unique and personal way!

Beautiful boat, super friendly crew, efficient departure and pickup. quality commentary. Really great experience overall !!

Many thanks to Andrew for a great day exploring Freycinet National Park. He catered for the group’s pace, was relaxed, friendly and very informative about the Park, wildlife & Tassie in general. Wineglass Bay was as stunning as all the photos & we really enjoyed lunch on the beach before heading over to Hazard’s Beach to catch the boat back, stopping off to watch the seals chilling on the island. We got so much more out of our visit to Freycinet by doing this tour rather than just following the crowd. Many thanks also to Sara for her first class communication and organisation skills. Great trip - 100% recommend.

Really enjoyed this trip. Boat skippers very friendly and informative. Learnt a lot about the local area. Gentle easy 30 minute walk to Wineglass Bay.

Fabulous day. Awesome staff. Absolutely beautiful scenery. If you go to Tassie do it.

Excellent cruise. Worth the $$. Lunch was great. We even saw a few migrating humpback whales and a baby whale! The crew were awesome. Thank you.

We had a great time on our kayaking tour! We were a little worried when we got a call the day before warning of tricky wind conditions, but we decided to go ahead and we're so glad we did. It was a gorgeous trip and Pablo, our guide was really knowledgeable, friendly and we felt very safe in his hands.

Fun and informative , Val was a wonderful guide! Instructions were easy to follow and we learned a lot about the local area

What a magnificent day. Andrew, our guide was very well-informed, professional & a fun guy to boot. The other couple on the walk were great company & the weather was perfect for this mind-blowing hike in Freycinet National Park. And the trip back to our accommodations on the Aqua Express was a mini tour bonus. Great package all round, with a tasty lunch on the rocks above Hourglass Bay. We even spotted a dolphin swimming in the bay just as we were about to cross the Isthmus across to Hazards Beach. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Many thanks Sara for making it all come together.

This was a glorious way to spend time in what has to be one of the most beautiful parts of Tasmania, if not the world. My guide was Andrew and he was superb. Lots of local knowledge and a knowledge and understanding of the natural environment. I do not think I will ever forget my lunch in Wineglass bay, sat on the rocks with two dolphins playing in the sea. It was absolutely marvellous. I would highly recommend this tour.

Thought we were just getting taxi boat to start of 30 minute walk to Wine Glass Bay. But we made of few stops with some really interesting history. We seen seals baking on the rocks which was lovely. Our boat driver and the young girl were super friendly and very helpful getting us on and off safely. Highly recommended. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks

Skipper and crew were great, local information and well worth the trip.We were dropped off at the beach and had plenty of time to explore, walk to the lookout (big walk). then more walks on the beach.
