Travel Itinerary
- Maximum 10 travellers in this tour.
Your tour starts at our South Hobart office. You'll receive a tour briefing, helmet & gloves. You'll also be introduced to your bike... brakes, gears, etc.
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, a snack, & toilet break.
Next, it's a 15-minute bus journey to the start of the rainforest ride. This 11 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. View Location
