Cycling Tour in Tasmania – Launceston to Hobart

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, and the accolades haven’t stopped since. New York Times has Tasmania as one of the Places to Go in 2024. This tour is the ultimate combination of fun, stress-free cycling, beautiful scenery and gourmet food and wine experiences.

The Cycling – “Is it Hilly”?

Yes, 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.

It is also worth noting

1. Using an E-bike would make this cycling tour in Tasmania very enjoyable and achievable for almost anyone. These are available to hire or you can BYO.
2. There is a rest from cycling on Day 6 (after 4 days cycling), where we stay 2 nights in the stunning Freycinet National Park.

Freycinet National Park This is an iconic National Park not only for Tasmania but internationally. The park includes famous Wineglass Bay, and we explore this stunning region on foot on a fully guided day hike (approx 12kms). We get to savour this beautiful part of Tasmania with 2 nights in the luxurious Freycinet Lodge in the heart of this pristine environment.
