Outdoorsy Types Walk and Cycle Tours3 days/2 nights - East Coast Beachcomber
Itinerary overview
Escape it all - annoying bosses, miserable skies and smelly flat mates - on the kind of short break
you thought was out of reach. The east coast especially the north east, 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.
Indulge in a thought-provoking walk down the length of the Bay of Fires beach to Binalong Bay. Take a dip then lunch on the beach followed by a ride into St Helens and enjoy a BBQ under the stars and cycle around St Helens. The following day cycle south down the distractingly scenic coastline enroute to Bicheno. Spend the last day at the most visited spot on the east coast, Freycinet Peninsula and take the saddle walk to marvel at Wineglass Bay before heading back to Hobart that night.
