  • Where does the tour start and end?

    The tour starts in Launceston and ends in Hobart. Fly into Launceston Airport (LST) and fly out of Hobart International Airport (HBA). Transfers on the day of arrival and departure are included in the tour price.

  • How long is the tour? How many days riding?

    The tour is 9 days long with 6 days of guided cycling and 1 guided day hike included.

  • What's the tour like?

    There are some hills on this itinerary, so the tour operator has graded this tour as intermediate to challenging.  But, with the 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 the 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.

  • Is there a minimum age?

    Yes, 18 is the minimum age for the tour.

  • If I'm traveling alone, will I have to pay more?

    If you wish to have your own room or are traveling alone then a single supplement is payable.

  • Are helmets required?

    A helmet is required to be worn on all biking activities and is non-negotiable. If you do not wear a helmet you won't be allowed to cycle.


    Helmets are included in the tour price but if you have your own this is preferable so that you are comfortable with a well-fitted helmet.

(Review obtained from Tour Operator)

This biking tour was much more than the itinerary suggested. Scenery was made up of many hidden gems, rolling farmland, vineries, blue waters, forests, red rocks, sunsets/sunrises, native birds and animals etc. The accommodation was boutique accommodation of many different styles. Food and drink was fresh and local with many wine, beer, cheese, fruit, and ice cream tasting along the way. Meals ranged from fresh fish and chips eaten sitting looking over the fishing boats out to sea, to white tablecloth service, (always with a glass of local wine). The cycling I found challenging, but the support vehicle was always on hand to help you out. The equipment was in excellent condition and was maintained and adapted to suit your needs by a professional. The Guides treated us like family members. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
