Hobart and Freycinet share Tasmania’s cool temperate climate, though Freycinet’s east-coast position gives it a slightly milder, drier feel than the capital, with sea breezes softening the warmer months and crisp air defining winter. In Hobart, summer daytime temperatures typically sit around 20–23°C, with occasional hotter days above 30°C, while winter days are usually about 11–13°C and nights can fall to 4–6°C. Freycinet, set beside the sheltered waters and granite peaks of the peninsula, generally experiences summer highs of about 21–24°C and winter highs near 12–14°C, with overnight temperatures often ranging from 5–8°C. Spring and autumn are comfortably cool, often sitting between 14–19°C during the day, making them practical seasons for walking, coastal touring and outdoor travel. Temperatures can shift quickly in both areas, so even in summer it is wise to bring layers for cooler mornings, breezy headlands and changing coastal conditions.

The tour operator is at the mercy of nature in all her beauty and all her fury. The tour operator will under no circumstance knowingly place at risk the health and well-being of our guests and guides. In the case of natural threats, acts of God and the like (e.g. bushfires, impassable snow, etc) the tour operator may need to cancel a walk with very little notice. In some cases, this can occur after the walk has commenced. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any walk up to 60 days prior to departure if a minimum of 4 walkers are unable to meet for a tour. If the tour operator needs to cancel for any reason, the cost of the walk or any other costs associated with travel to the designated pick up point, overnight accommodation, meals, etc will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance be taken out prior to travel.Force Majeure'Force Majeure' means (without restriction) any event which Onlyluxe Travel or its third party providers could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid.

In the case of Force Majeure Onlyluxe Travel will not accept liability, and reserves the right to change and cancel trips.EvacuationsIn rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, the tour operator may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and in most cases will be at a cost to the customer.For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our customers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. Evacuation cost will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore it is also strongly recommended that our customers take out travel insurance to cover (amongst other things) the costs associated with evacuation.Travel InsuranceIn view of the heavy cancellation penalties applied to cancelled reservations in certain circumstances, we strongly recommends suitable travel insurance be purchased at the time the holding deposit is paid. We recommend insurance cover that covers any loss which may be suffered due to cancellation. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance against loss of baggage and medical expenses.
