Embark on a spectacular journey at Hobart's Mt Wellington, one of Tasmania's tallest mountains. This small-group guided bike tour takes you on a meandering journey from the summit (sub alpine), then gently descends through lush temperate rainforest, finishing in the dryer forest on the edge of the city. On the way, take in magnificent eucalyptus trees, gigantic ferns, a waterfall, curious wildlife, and historic landmarks. As you ride, your guide will fill you in on the area's history and natural environment.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Arrive at least 30-minutes before the tour departs. All-day free parking is on nearby Washington St and Wentworth St. Our shop is a 25-min walk / 6-min taxi from the city/waterfront. Next door to our shop is the awesome Ginger Brown Cafe, and a general food store.
What to expect
Next, board our minibus for a 30-minute drive to the summit of Mt Wellington, 1270m above sea level. At the summit, take 15-minutes to explore & snap a few photos of the amazing views. Then, hop on your bike and ride the exhilarating 6 km summit road descent. For anyone preferring not to do this road ride, there is the option to come down in our support vehicle.
We then have a quick stop-off at the Lost Freight Cafe; enough time for a drink, snack, & toilet break.
Next, it's a 15-minute bus journey to the start of the rainforest ride. This 12 km guided ride gently descends through temperate rainforest. The track is level, wide, with gentle gradients, & is easy to ride. The surface is compact dirt. Your guide will provide commentary on local history & wildlife.
Riders should be comfortable on a bike with good basic bike handling skills. It's downhill all the way, so only a basic fitness level is required.
If the summit is closed due to road works or bad weather, instead, we do a longer ride on the rainforest trail.
