FREYCINET EXPERIENCE WALK THE FREYCINET EXPERIENCE WALK IS A FOUR-DAY EXPLORATION OF THE FREYCINET NATIONAL PARK ON TASMANIA’S EAST COAST. RETURNING EACH NIGHT TO THE FRIENDLY BEACHES LODGE RENOWNED FOR ITS AWARD-WINNING ENVIRONMENTAL ARCHITECTURE. Set against the dramatic backdrop of pink granite mountains, you will be led by engaging guides to rarely explored corners of the Freycinet National Park including the breathtaking Schouten Island. Here you will discover diverse marine and wildlife, secluded turquoise bays and rich coastal forests. Travelling in the footsteps of the Oyster Bay Tribe, the walk traverses the same ancient bush tracks trodden some 30,000 years ago. On day two there is a choice between a challenging walk over Mt Graham or a leisurely coastal route before re-grouping at the end of the day at the spectacular Wineglass Bay. Travelling light you will only need to carry a small backpack for your lunch and a camera. The ambience at Friendly Beaches Lodge is informal but sophisticated. The relaxing atmosphere is accompanied by delicious meals using the best of Tasmanian produce – freshly caught flathead, local oysters and wines of the region. The lodge is exclusive to your group (maximum ten) where you will have private rooms with comfortable beds and enjoy friendly personal service. We recommend a final swim at Friendly Beaches, it is exhilarating!
