By Bike For the energetically inclined, Tasmania is small enough to be accessible by bike tours. The East Coast highway is a particularly delightful route, with many towns, national parks and secluded beaches to delight the tourist. One note, Tasmania is NOT flat, so people planning a cycling tour should be those who enjoy the exertion of a spirited ascent.
By Bus For those without a car of their own, the source of public transport is a bus. Within the major towns there are public bus services that are sufficient for most tourist needs. Between towns there are two major coach services, Tasmanian Red line Coaches and TWT Tassielink. You can use these services to travel the major highways, and where a particular hike leaves from the highway, the driver will know the stop to let you off. If you give an indication of when you plan to finish your walk, the bus will even stop to pick you up as well!
