TASMANIA SEAFOOD TRAIL
Fresh seafood and ocean views, the local way.
Tasmania’s east coast seafood trail is where the island’s wild beauty meets the ocean’s freshest bounty. This private Tasmania seafood tour celebrates both – a relaxed, flavour-filled day along the Great Eastern Drive, where pristine bays, salty air, and straight-from-the-sea produce are just part of the experience.
It’s perfect for travellers who appreciate fine food without the fuss, and nature that speaks for itself. From oyster tastings at Freycinet Marine Farm with your toes nearly in the water, to a long seafood lunch overlooking the Hazards mountains at Freycinet – every moment of this Tasmania seafood tour is unhurried and full of local flavour.
Whether it’s your first time on the east coast or your favourite escape, you’ll see it — and taste it — the way locals do.

All in One Seamless Day
Depart
Your coastal escape begins
Collected from your Hobart accommodation, your private Tasmania seafood tour heads northeast along the Great Eastern Drive – one of Tasmania’s most scenic coastal roads and the gateway to the island’s best seafood. With rolling farmland, ocean glimpses, and charming coastal towns en route, your driver-guide shares local stories and sets a relaxed tone for a day built around the freshest catches on the east coast.
Discover
A day of sea views, artisan stops, and natural beauty
Coastal Vistas & Seaside Coffee
Begin your Tasmania seafood trail at Orford, Triabunna, or the quirky Spiky Bridge – three of the east coast’s most charming first stops. Enjoy a coffee break with sweeping ocean views and time for a shoreline stroll, soaking in that fresh east coast air before the seafood adventures begin.
Fresh Oysters at the Source
Visit Freycinet Marine Farm or Melshell Oyster Shack – two of Tasmania’s most respected working oyster farms, where the Pacific oysters come straight from the cold, clear bay to your hand. Meet the growers, learn about their sustainable aquaculture, and sample oysters that are salty, clean, and incredibly fresh. This is the heart of any Hobart seafood tour – oyster tasting at the source.
Freycinet National Park & Wineglass Bay
Explore one of Tasmania’s most iconic landscapes on your private seafood tour from Hobart. Choose from a short walk to the Wineglass Bay lookout – offering panoramic views of white sand and turquoise sea that have made it one of the world’s most photographed bays – or a coastal visit to Cape Tourville, an easy track with dramatic ocean vistas over the Freycinet Peninsula.
Bicheno Blowhole or Wild Beaches
Optional stop at Bicheno for a look at its famous blowhole and relaxed surf-town atmosphere. Alternatively, visit Friendly Beaches — a stretch of pristine coastline where the sea sparkles and the sands remain blissfully untouched.
Scenic Stops & Flexible Pacing
Throughout the day, your guide will offer tailored stops for photos, views, or short walks. There’s no set schedule — just time to experience the east coast at your own pace.
Taste
Ocean to table, and the views to match
This Tasmania seafood tour is all about the fresh stuff – oysters plucked from Freycinet Marine Farm that morning, seafood lunches made with the east coast’s best catch, and local cool-climate wines poured with a view. You’ll enjoy a relaxed gourmet lunch at a coastal restaurant with dishes like scallops, mussels, local flathead, and seasonal sides. Between bites, expect Tasmanian sparkling wines, waterfront decks on Great Oyster Bay, and the kind of flavour you only get this close to the sea on Tasmania’s seafood trail.
Return
Back to Hobart, satisfied and sea-salted
After an afternoon by the bay on your private Tasmania seafood tour, your return drive winds through the hills and valleys of the east coast – perhaps past a lavender farm or a final coastal lookout. Pause for a coffee or photo stop before arriving back in Hobart, feeling like you have truly had a taste of Tasmania’s east coast seafood trail – slow, fresh, and quietly unforgettable.

The Seafood and Coastal Delights Day Tour runs for approximately 10 hours, departing your Hobart accommodation at 7:30am and returning by early evening.

Which coastal towns on Tasmania’s east coast offer the best seafood?
On Tasmania’s east coast seafood trail, the standout destinations are Freycinet, Swansea, Bicheno, and Orford.

Yes. Tasmania’s east coast is home to some of the world’s finest Pacific oysters and freshest seafood, and the Great Eastern Drive is one of Australia’s most scenic coastal roads. A private seafood tour makes the day far more enjoyable than self-driving – your guide secures the oyster farm visit, finds the best lunch spots, and handles all logistics while you simply eat and enjoy the views. The combination of Freycinet National Park scenery and straight-from-the-sea oysters at Freycinet Marine Farm is genuinely world-class.
