Australia Bike Tours

Huon Valley 3 Day Tour Hobart to Hobart

This is a leisurely tour with short daily distances and plenty of time to enjoy the countryside. In early summer the roadside views abound with apple, pear and cherry blossom. The backdrop of coastal ranges, Bruny Island and the scudding sails in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Huon Estuary provides for a memorable trip.

Quiet, peaceful roads

Accommodation includes boutique bed and breakfasts.

I can't say enough good things about Brett and Barny.  they both acted professionally in all regards.  The cycling was superb, and thanks to Brett for encouraging two of us to complete all ofht e 1160 kilometers in our saddles.  Tasmania has such rich and varied scenery, history and features, that we would even consider another trip there at some future date.  Food and lodging were excellent as well.

The guides were superb.  Brett is a gem among guides, probably the best I have ever had. I particularly enjoyed getting to hike at Freycinet and Dove Lake/Cradle Mountain. My bicycle was excellent.  And adjustments were made to accommodate my comfort and adjust the gears as needed.
