Bay of Fires Customised Tours from Binalong Bay: Beaches, Lighthouses & Waterfalls

Customised Tours in Binalong Bay, Tasmania put the Bay of Fires and northeastern Tasmania's coastal and forest highlights on your schedule with a tailor-made day behind the wheel. Based in Binalong Bay, these private tours craft itineraries that stitch together white-sand beaches, orange-lichen granite outcrops, secluded waterfalls and small-town history so you see the region on your terms. Choose beaches like Binalong Bay Beach, voted Best Beach in the World by Lonely Planet, and Swimcart, Jeneratte and the Gardens for shoreline walks and crystal-clear surf. At the Bay of Fires you’ll find the signature orange lichen staining granite boulders flung across pale sand, while Sloop Rock and Peron Dunes frame views that photographers chase at first light. Offshore features such as St Helens Island and the Eddystone Point lighthouse add maritime punctuation to coastal panoramas. Beyond the shore, the hinterland folds into farming valleys and cool temperate forest. Drive through Derby, Weldborough and Pyengana to reach cascades like St Columba Falls and Halls Falls, visit Mount Paris and Cascade dams, or wander the Evercreech Whitegum Reserve where ancient eucalypts and wallabies are common. For dramatic coastal headlands, the Eddystone Point lighthouse at the northern Bay of Fires provides raw exposure to Bass Strait swells. These tours are built around what you want to see. Pick-up and drop-off are included from accommodation or a pre-arranged spot, and the vehicle fits up to six people (most comfortable with four). Tours operate in all weather, and extra time is available at $100 per hour payable in person. If dates look booked online, contact the operator directly at 0428 449 543 or 03 6376 8151 or email [email protected] to explore options. What makes these customised tours stand out is the local know-how, drivers who read tides, seasonal wildflower displays and the best windows for lighthouse light or waterfall flow. That local expertise turns a drive into a curated day that balances beach time, short walks and cultural notes, like the Bay of Fires' historical name given by Captain Tobias Furneaux after seeing shore fires, without forcing a rigid itinerary. Whether you want sunrise photography, a family-friendly beach day, or a hinterland waterfall circuit, the flexibility to add time and choose pacing makes this a practical, low-stress way to experience northeastern Tasmania's coastal geology, wildlife and small-town character. Practical notes: the vehicle is most comfortable for up to four guests; groups of five to six are possible with the two additional passengers seated in the rear, best for children or smaller adults. Tours operate in all weather, so bring warm layers and waterproofs. Rebooking is available subject to availability; extra time can be added onsite at $100 an hour. Contact the operator.
