Welcome to Tasmania and enjoy the adventure! We start the trip with some exciting riding just outside of Launceston. En route to the start point your guide will give a briefing on all aspects of the adventure. Before commencing the first ride your guide will fit your bikes, issue equipment and give a safety briefing about riding in Tasmania. We will then enjoy the wonderful cycling opportunities up the Fingal Valley & through the Eucalypt forests of the North East. The highlight is an exhilarating ride down St Mary’s Pass to the east coast with its dazzling aqua blue water and pure white sandy beaches. An alternative could also be the Elephants Pass. We spend the afternoon cycling south along the coastline to our camp near the seaside town of St Helen's. Distance up to maximum 60Km Time approx 6hrs cycling

We will enjoy morning tea and some free time to explore at Swansea before cycling to Mayfield Beach for lunch. From Triabunna we catch a ferry to secluded Maria Island National Park andexplore Maria Island, taking in its vast history and the natural wonders scattered all over the island on foot. We will see the unusual sandstone formations of the painted cliffs and visit Aboriginal middens. In the south of the island we will see the beautiful pristine beaches of Chinaman’s Bay and the isthmus. The fascinating history of the island is as diverse and substantial as its wildlife. This industrial history includes everything from vineyards to cement works but the most interesting is the convict history. There are many ruins from penal days including cell blocks, commandant’s cottages and windmill sites. Our accommodation is the historic Penitentiary, dormitory style.
