Detailed Description
Freycinet Aqua Express provides a one-way or return water taxi service to Hazards Beach multiple times daily. We also provide a daily service to Cooks Beach and Schouten Island.
Freycinet National Park is a place of dramatic beauty, where the rugged granite coastline meets turquoise waters and pristine white sand beaches. The iconic Wineglass Bay (regularly voted as one of the world's top ten beaches) is recognised globally for its curvaceous white beach with the Hazards mountain range providing a breathtaking backdrop.
Schouten Island - A Perfect Half Day Escape
For day trippers, Schouten Island’s secluded Crocketts Beach offers an ideal half-day adventure.
We disembark directly onto the pristine white sands, where you can relax or explore. Bring your snorkel to explore the calm, crystal-clear waters, or enjoy a peaceful beach day.
For those seeking adventure, a short one-hour return hike to Bear Hill provides stunning views of the Freycinet Peninsula. With no human habitation and accessible only by boat, Schouten Island is a tranquil sanctuary well worth exploring.
Camping
If you'd like to stay longer, there are some camp sites on Schouten Island however, these operate on a first-come-first-serve basis. It is not possible to reserve a camp site, and there's no guarantee a spot will be available when you arrive. It's really important to ensure you are fully prepared for camping in a remote environment with all necessary supplies because there are no facilities available on the island.
