Cycle the East Coast of Tasmania

Discover the incredible unspoilt beauty of this pristine region on this fully guided gourmet cycling tour in Tasmania. Explore the scenic east coast from Launceston to Hobart with a special stop at Freycinet National Park. Visit wineries, oyster farms, wildlife sanctuaries and stunning Wineglass Bay on this memorable adventure.

Tasmania is rightly regarded as one of world’s most pristine environments. Raw, unspoilt natural beauty and incredible fresh food, wine and culinary experiences. Lonely Planet named Tasmania in the Top 10 Places to Visit in 2015 and the accolades haven’t stopped since. This tour is the ultimate combination of fun, stress free cycling, beautiful scenery and gourmet food and wine experiences.

There are some hills on this itinerary, so we have graded this tour as intermediate to challenging. But, with our support van always nearby, this trip can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be. There are 6 days of cycling. The first day of cycling is on the relatively new North East Tasmania Rail Trail and is graded as easy. It's a great way to start and warm up the legs. The following days the cycling is on roads. Each day is structured so that those keen to ride a bit more can set out from the start, and those wishing to do less, can transfer to a start point and enjoy the cycling from there. The support vehicle is always close by and follows the group throughout. These shortened start points are normally at the top of a main rise so you avoid any serious hills. Having said all that, it is recommended that participants have done some cycling before arrival to maximise enjoyment.
