Freycinet Tours & Holidays

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Freycinet National Park is located on the east coast of Tasmania, an island state off the south coast of mainland Australia. To get there you need to fly or sail, and then transfer to Freycinet by car or bus (if you're not joining us for a tour). There are daily flights to Hobart and Launceston from most major cities in Australia. You can also take the Spirit of Tasmania ferry from Geelong, Melbourne to Devonport.

We'll drive around the park in an air-conditioned vehicle. Although you can reach many of the park's top spots via the walking tracks, you’ll still need transport to get to some beaches, trails and coastal towns dotted around the peninsula.

Freycinet National Park is beautiful all year round, and the best time to visit depends on what you’d like to see and do. Spring and autumn are ideal for hiking, while summer is when to enjoy the park's pristine beaches. Winter offers traffic-free trails and whale watching opportunities.

Bring a comfy pair of walking shoes, a pair of thongs, sunglasses and a reusable water bottle. You should also bring clothing suitable for walking and outdoor activities, e.g. leggings, shorts and T-shirts.

If you visit during winter, bring warm layers, a waterproof and windproof jacket, a hat, gloves and a scarf (even when it's sunny as it can feel chilly with the coastal winds).

For summer trips, bring layered clothing, bathers, a sun hat and a jumper to throw on when the temperature drops at night. 

You will have mobile phone reception and access to mobile data in the coastal towns and main tourist hubs, but it may be patchy or cut off in more remote areas of the national park.
