This example itinerary is a general guide and may be subject to change without notice due to circumstances outside of our control.

Please Note: This tour is designed for riders with a solid level of off-road riding experience and is not suitable for complete beginners. While you certainly do not need to be a professional enduro rider, you should be confident riding varied terrain including sand, rocky sections, hill climbs, ruts, water crossings, and long days in the saddle.

Throughout the tour, we do offer alternate route options on some of the more technical sections where possible; however, an intermediate level of riding ability and a reasonable level of fitness are still required to fully enjoy the experience.

Our goal is for everyone to have an epic week of riding while staying safe and comfortable within their capabilities. If you are unsure whether this tour is the right fit for your skill level, we strongly encourage you to give us a call for a chat before booking — we’re more than happy to discuss your riding experience and point you in the right direction.

Day One

You will be collected from your chosen accommodation and transferred to our departure point.

From here, we begin our adventure with our first track located just 20km away on a private property with exclusive access. We then continue on to our next trail through Buckland, featuring some fantastic single-track riding before joining the historic Swanson Track.

Lunch will be prepared and provided for you before we tackle the next section of the ride; one of the most challenging trails of the week, the Tiger Trail. Alternative route options can be arranged here for less experienced riders.

Day TWO

Heading north-east along the Tasman Highway, we make our way onto another exclusive private property, complete with a small enduro track. We then finish the final section of the Tiger Trail before continuing onto the Swan River and Douglas Apsley trails.

Lunch will be provided in the historic town of Fingal before we jump back on the bikes for approximately 60km of trail riding through Mathinna and beyond to our overnight stop. Expect plenty of hill climbs and rocky terrain throughout the day.

Accommodation: The Bayside Inn – St Helens

Day THREE

Today we continue our East Coast adventure, covering approximately 150km of 4WD tracks and single trail through Tasmania’s north-eastern corner.

We ride through Ratty’s Track and Blue Tier, home to some of the best trails on Tasmania’s North-East Coast, before stopping for lunch in the historic town of Gladstone - pub feed on us!

Weather permitting, there may also be time for a refreshing swim at the stunning Blue Lake, located just minutes away.

The afternoon is packed with more great riding as we travel through the bayside town of Bridport, where we’ve been given exclusive access to view an incredible private motorcycle collection at The Loft.

Accommodation: The Bridport Inn

Day FOUR

We begin the day with a ride along Bellingham Beach, enjoying incredible beach riding with Bass Strait as the backdrop.

From there, we head onto a series of epic trails through Lilydale before stopping at the historic Batman Bridge, where our support vehicle will have the BBQ fired up for lunch.

Continuing through Beaconsfield, riders will have the option to visit the historic Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre (entry fee of $25 per person).

We then make our way across the Asbestos Ranges and onto Port Sorell for some afternoon trail riding, before finishing the day with a scenic road ride to our overnight accommodation.

Accommodation: Gowrie Park

Day FIVE

Leaving Gowrie Park, we head straight into some gnarly ravine trails before winding our way past Cradle Mountain toward Tullah.

From there, we tackle more twisty terrain en route to Reece Dam, before continuing into the Arthur-Pieman region, south of the Pieman River, for some epic beach riding.

Our next stop is Granville Harbour, where the support vehicle will be waiting with lunch prepared for the group.

After lunch comes the famous Climies Track. While only 18km in length, this trail is known for testing riders with steep climbs, rocky ledges, and technical sections, an absolute cracker of a ride.

From here, we continue toward Trial Harbour and attempt the full length of Ocean Beach, pending tide conditions and river crossing levels, before heading through the Henty Dunes and into the historic town of Strahan.

Tonight, we enjoy an incredible buffet dinner at Strahan Village, overlooking the breathtaking Macquarie Harbour.

Accommodation: Strahan Village Motel

Day SIX

Departing Strahan, we ride toward Queenstown via the famous 99 Bends before stopping at the stunning Nelson Falls.

Continuing past Mt Arrowsmith and into Derwent Bridge, we then veer back onto the trails as we begin our journey toward where it all began.

Tour Concludes
Transfers will be arranged back to your accommodation.

The above itinerary is a general day-by-day outline of our journey through Tasmania. Throughout the tour, you’ll experience countless waterfalls, scenic lookouts, historic landmarks, and unforgettable million-dollar views.

Ultimate Cape Escape will provide all trail snacks, lunches, breakfasts, and dinners throughout the tour. Should you wish to purchase additional snacks or enjoy a cold drink at any of the pubs or breweries we visit along the way, these will be at your own expense.

Accommodation throughout the tour is arranged on a shared basis.

We’ve worked tirelessly to design a route that maximises time on tracks and trails, delivering the best off-road experience possible. Due to the vast distances covered, some sealed and gravel road sections are unavoidable; however, these have been kept to a minimum and are a necessary part of connecting the incredible riding areas we explore.

This is truly going to be one for the memory bank. I can’t wait to show you the playground I was lucky enough to grow up in, my home state of Tasmania.
