There are some hills included in the itinerary, so the tour is graded as intermediate. But, with a 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 and 1 day of hiking in the national park. The rides are structured so that those keen to ride a bit more can set out from the start, and those wishing to do less, or rest for a day, can transfer to a start point and enjoy the cycling from there. 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 riding before arrival to maximise enjoyment.
Freycinet National Park is an iconic national park not only for Tasmania but Australia.
