FREYCINET NATIONAL PARK

A parks pass is required for entry to Tasmania’s national parks. Trained dog guides assisting people who are blind or have low vision are permitted in national parks. However, you will need to obtain a permit for them and carry identification with you. To obtain this permit or for enquiries relating to other assistance animals, please phone the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service or email parkfees@parks.tas.gov.au ahead of your visit.

Note that the walk up to Wineglass Bay Lookout and down to the sand on the other side is steep, with plenty of steps – so it’s not wheelchair-accessible. The Cape Tourville walk, however, is accessible for people using wheelchairs, though some assistance may be required due to the moderate gradient. A TrailRider all-terrain wheelchair is available for hire free of charge at Freycinet National Park for visitors with mobility limitations. Advance bookings are required. For further information please contact the Freycinet Visitor Centre or email freycinet@parks.tas.gov.au.

For those interested in the Freycinet Experience Walk, please contact the operator directly to discuss any special needs you may have, and to determine the suitability of this experience for your individual circumstances.

The Visitor Centre at the entrance of the national park is wheelchair accessible, and there’s a 10-minute, accessible circuit track starting just outside. Adjacent to the visitor centre, the Richardsons Beach Campground offers accessible toilets and accessible powered and unpowered sites. The nearby Ranger Creek Day Use Area has an accessible toilet and shower block adjacent to the car park.
