FAQ

Feel free to contact us at any time through our website contact us page, phone or email. We love what we do and want to get you on the best bike ride for you. Speak to us about what's on your mind and we'll help you make your decision.

What is the Accommodation like?

We always try to obtain great accommodation for you to rest your weary head (and legs) in each town whether it be a motel, hotel, cabins or similar, usually 3 to 4.5 star. On occasion we travel through some very small towns and villages where accommodation is limited but we can almost always track down some nice clean accommodation with character and charm.

Sharing rooms

On the online entry form you can nominate any travelling companions that you would like to share a room with and/or be accommodated close to so that couples or friends can be roomed together. This can be in a double bed or in twin beds. If you are travelling alone like many of our riders, you can choose to 'twin share' where single riders are paired with other riders of the same gender and usually changed each night to create interest in sharing rooms. Single Supplement is also available for those that would like their own room for the whole trip.

What about the food on the Tassie East Coast Tour?

We provide quality breakfasts, morning teas, lunches & afternoon tea and dinners. A balanced diet with plenty of carbs, proteins, fruit and vegies.

Please speak to us about any specific dietary requirements that you may have.

Welcome! Traditionally most of the clientele on our rides have been from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and UK/Europe. You just need to make sure that your passport and visas are in order and check out the cost of transferring your bike to Australia.

Do I need a Visa to go on the Tassie East Coast Tour?

We do not issue visas and cannot provide definitive information on visas. For all countries, contact your nearest Australian embassy or consulate well in advance of travel.

A bike mechanic will be part of our crew and will have everything that is required (we hope) including a good stand pump for different valves. The bike parts used for replacement will be charged at shop prices. Labour is free. Cyclists with rare or different bikes are asked to contact us at AllTrails and advise our mechanic
