Welcome to Tasmania. We meet in Launceston, a charming riverside city that offers the perfect introduction to the island’s relaxed pace and natural beauty. This week is designed to explore the wildness and quiet beauty that makes Tasmania such a unique place to ride, from remote country roads and rugged coastlines to iconic climbs and vibrant local culture.
After bike fittings and a tour briefing, we roll out for our first ride, a gentle loop through the surrounding countryside.

Tasmania Cycling Tour, Ride to Derby via Jacob’s Ladder
Leaving Launceston behind, we head into Tasmania’s north east, where the landscape begins to open and the roads grow quieter with every kilometre. Today’s ride builds gradually through farmland and forest before reaching one of Tasmania’s most iconic climbs.
Midway through the day, we take on Jacob’s Ladder, a remarkable series of tight switchbacks climbing the Ben Lomond plateau. Originally constructed in the early 1900s to access the highlands, it’s now a bucket-list ascent, known for its dramatic geometry and sweeping views across the valley below. It’s a challenging but rewarding moment, and a true highlight of the week.
From the highlands, we descend and continue towards Derby, where the character shifts once again. Arriving into this small but globally recognised cycling town, you’ll feel the energy immediately. Tasmania’s wild interior feels both remote and deeply connected to its cycling culture, setting the tone for the days ahead.

As the ride unfolds, the first glimpses of the ocean appear, building towards one of Tasmania’s most spectacular locations. We finish at the Bay of Fires, where white sand beaches, crystal clear water, and orange-tinged granite create a setting that feels both raw and unforgettable.
After time to take it all in, we transfer to St Helens, where the afternoon is yours to relax and enjoy the coastal atmosphere.

The terrain rolls gently throughout the day, offering a rewarding rhythm that makes this region so enjoyable to ride. There’s a sense of space and freedom here, with long stretches of uninterrupted road.
Our destination is Devil’s Corner Winery, perched above the Freycinet Peninsula. Here we settle in for a long lunch, enjoying local produce and world-class wines in a spectacular setting.

After days immersed in Tasmania’s natural landscapes, today offers a contrast, where creativity and culture meet the same sense of individuality that defines the island. Our destination is MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, known for its bold and thought-provoking exhibitions.
Beyond the galleries, MONA’s grounds invite you to slow down and enjoy the setting. Take time to relax with a long lunch, sampling local wines and craft beers while overlooking the river.

Today is the Queen Stage of the tour, and a true highlight of the week. Rising above Hobart, Mount Wellington offers a steady and rewarding climb that defines the riding experience in southern Tasmania.
We roll out from the city and begin the ascent, gradually leaving the waterfront behind as the road winds upwards through changing landscapes. The climb builds at a consistent gradient, allowing you to find your rhythm as each turn reveals wider views across Hobart, the Derwent River, and the coastline beyond.
Reaching the summit is a special moment. From here, the scale and wildness of Tasmania come into full view, a fitting culmination of the journey you’ve experienced throughout the week.
After taking it all in, we enjoy a long, flowing descent back towards Hobart. At the base of the mountain, we stop at Cascade Brewery, an Australian icon and the country’s oldest operating brewery, to celebrate the achievement with a well-earned local beer.
