The East Coast

Ride the wild and beautiful landscape on the East Coast of Tasmania. Just off the Southern edge of the mainland, Tasmania offers a cycling experience that blends combines rugged national gravel bike paths, rich wildlife forests, and a food scene driven by local producers and seasonal harvests.

The relaxed pace of life, fresh air, and remote beauty of Tasmania pair with Livelo’s high quality bikes and expert local guides to create a cycling experience that’s immersive, flexible, and deeply rewarding.

Your Livelo tour is a private journey, meaning each day can be shaped to fit your cycling ability, food interests, and desire for rest or adventure. Whether it’s a gravel ride through mountain valleys, a gentle ride by the sea, or a hike to a hidden lookout, the choice is yours.

Tasmania has earned a global reputation for sustainable travel and unspoilt wilderness, with over 40% of the island protected by national parks and reserves.

Cycling here is one of the most enjoyable ways to explore Tasmania, from the turquoise bays of Freycinet and the forests of Maria Island, to the more rugged alpine trails around Cradle Mountain. Along the way, stop in at farms, bakeries, and seaside villages, with time to soak in natural beauty and local flavours.

Join us in Tasmania and discover the unique charm and rich story of this island with a high quality Livelo bike, supported every step of the way by our experienced local team.
