Kunanyi Challenge

We have designed an 11 day cycling experience all you have to do is bring your cycling gear and we take care of the rest. With 8 guided rides, a floating sauna experience, some hiking at Cradle Mountain and Freycinet National Park and evenings spent over a glass of wine and good food, get ready to be pampered on this 11-day Tasmanian cycling experience.

After running seperate tours, we decided to combine both of our Bruny Island and ‘Southern Explorer’ tours into one comprehensive and luxury guided tour of the Huon Valley. This is our ultimate tour of Southern Tasmania. Starting and ending in Hobart, we’re excited to bring you a five day food and riding journey around the ‘Southern Trove’ area (Bruny Island, Cygnet and the Huon Valley). One of our favourite places to ride a bike, we not only explore our favourite parts of Southern Tasmania, but take you through a full Tasmanian gastronomic experience in the process. We have designed a 3 day cycling experience where you just bring your cycling gear and we take care of the rest. With 3 guided rides, a guided yoga and relaxation session, evenings spent over locally sourced food and beverages and scenery you will simply never forget. This is not just a cycling tour, this is an experience you will remember forever.

We’re excited to offer a 7 day road and gravel tour of Tasmania. We kick off the first day with an epic summit of the famous Ben Lomond and Jacob’s Ladder. We follow an ‘off the beaten track’ route to Derby as well as traversing the Hydro focused Central Highlands. With the emergence of the gravel scene in the cycling community and the endless forestry and back gravel roads in Tasmania, this tour is not to be missed. Most of the gravel in Tassie is pretty tame, as such tyres with a minimum of 32 mm clearance and disc brakes will suffice, although please note that fatter tyres may be more comfortable. There are a number of steep sections on this route so be prepared to bring your best climbing legs to the party.

We’re excited to offer a comprehensive tour of the wild West Coast of Tasmania. The raw, the untouched, the untamed. Just a few words used to describe what your experience on the West Coast will look like. There’s nothing quite like it. Nothing we can prepare you for. And nothing quite as spectacular. From almost becoming a ghost town such as the towns surrounding it, to now experiencing an injection of life, Queenstown is surrounded by dramatic hills that provide stark evidence of a history that once made it one of the richest mining towns in the world.

The Meander Valley region is located in the heart of Northern Tasmania and full of an array of quaint country towns and mountain ranges. We are excited to present a comprehensive tour of a few of our favourite roads, bakery stops and wineries in a district well known for its agriculture.

Explorer Strathgordon and the surrounding dams and forestry history on a 3 day cycling experience around Strathgordon and the West Coast of Tasmania. Tasmania’s South West is a land of imposing mountains, raging rivers, button-grass plains and ancient forests. It contains the state’s largest national park — the aptly named Southwest National Park — and it is as remote as it is wild. It is the region’s wild nature that makes it such an enticing destination for a cycling adventure. This one is targeted toward the more intrepid adventurer. We will be taking a couple of forestry roads.

One of the most scenic and iconic events on the Tasmanian cycling calendar. A picturesque ride right in the heart of Cygnet with varying distances from a family friendly ride, a 26km social ride and a 60km road race. A unique and iconic event to challenge all levels of cyclists. We are once again hosting the Tasmanian State Road Championships as part of the 2024 Hell of the South race. A picturesque 60km race right in the heart of Cygnet. A unique and iconic event to challenge all levels of cyclists. A local tradition run by Hobart Wheelers for over 20 years sees the competition take riders up gruelling hills, along the flowing coast and put their bike handling skills to the test on the infamous gravel section. Whether a seasoned pro or weekend warrior, this is the one Tasmanian event that should never be missed.

Being a female owned and operated company, we are pretty big on helping not just get women into cycling, but to also create a space for women that is unique and special. We are super excited to be presenting our first, of what we hope to be many, female only tours! Our January 2025 tour will have a focus for those training for Falls Creek Peaks Challenge in March. Whether you are planning on entering or simply keen to get a solid weekend of training in with some other women while exploring our beautiful island, this tour is sure to pack a punch!

A Punishing tour like no other. The tour showcases picturesque Tasmanian terrain with sweeping plains, epic climbs and coastal courses. The Tour of Tasmania is a tour that challenges Australia’s most promising young riders and sets the stage for the Summer of Cycling.
