Freycinet Lodge

Book the boat

Arrive the way the harbour intended

Freycinet National Park lodge at Coles Bay, Tasmania, with charter and water taxi access at the lodge jetty.

Freycinet Lodge sits inside Freycinet National Park on the edge of Great Oyster Bay, a few minutes from Wineglass Bay. Charter boats and water taxis use the Freycinet Lodge Jetty, so you can arrive and depart on the water rather than driving the peninsula.

It is the practical base for a Wineglass Bay day on the water, and for East Coast transfers between Coles Bay, Swansea and Schouten Island.

Water taxis to Freycinet Lodge — questions

Can I get a water taxi to Freycinet Lodge?

Yes. Water Taxis Australia runs licensed water taxis to Freycinet Lodge Jetty, Coles Bay TAS, the closest public landing to Freycinet Lodge in Coles Bay. Enter your pickup wharf, choose a time and you'll see a live all-inclusive fare per boat before you book.

How much does a water taxi to Freycinet Lodge cost?

Fares are priced per boat, not per person, and depend on your pickup wharf, the time of day and how many passengers you have. The live fare shown in the booking engine on this page is the fare you pay — it already includes the licensed skipper, fuel, GST and platform fees.

When is my card charged?

We don't charge your card when you book. Your card is only verified — your bank may show a temporary zero-dollar check, which is not a payment. The fare is charged only once a water taxi operator or skipper accepts your job (or three days before pickup, whichever comes first). If no one accepts, you are never charged. If you're using a debit card, keep the funds available so the fare can be charged when a skipper accepts.

Do you book the table as well?
