Itinerary overview
The east coast of Tasmania is an untapped wonderland waiting for you to pop by; it's peaceful, it's home to a string of stunning pristine white
beaches and very appealing blue bays, and it's the sunniest place in Tasmania. This four day itinerary spends the first three days along the east
coast, then the last day in Hobart.
Meet in Hobart and head north starting your activities with a bike ride from St Mary’s to the coast. Take a dip then lunch on the beach
followed by a ride into St Helens. Indulge in a thought-provoking walk down the Bay of Fires beach and visit Binalong Bay.
The following day cycle south down the distractingly scenic coastline enroute to Bicheno, then spend the afternoon at the most visited spot
on the east coast, On day three, cycle along the Freycinet Peninsula and enjoy a picnic lunch whilst you marvel at Wineglass Bay. Return
to Hobart for your final tour night. Finish the trip in Hobart, with a day spent on the spectacular Mt Wellington Descent and a gentle sea
kayak tour around the Hobart waterfront. Then you’ll have some free time to explore Hobart at leisure.
