Best way to see Wineglass Bay

4.00This experience was great for kids and older people. We were water taxied with a wonderful skipper and mate to a drop off and pick up point. The young crew were very informal and fun and full of information. The walk to Wineglass Bay through the bush was easy and we enjoyed time spent on the beach. A wallaby came down to the beach. On our return trip we visited another island and were able see numerous seals.

2.00Very expensive for what it was. It was a taxi service from the jetty to hazard Beach and return with some historical information along the way. We provided our own walking tour or whatever we wanted to do between 11.25 and 2.15 I.e. walk across the island, swim or eat our own provisions if we happened to bring something. Not recommended for the price $120. The 2 staff were lovely though…Will and Sarah - they did a great job.
