Labeled easy but still a challenge for me. But I’m 70. 🥴😃 - We were blessed with a splendid day of sunshine. There was still the strong cold gusts of wind up the top of the mountain but this didn’t deter us. We were able to ride down the mountain and then along the paths in the rainforest enjoying the amazing flora and actually spotting a pademelon The bikes were great to use, our guide Richard was informative and patient and supportive. It was a great experience.

Rainforest and Mt Wellington mountain bike ride. - Had a fantastic time with our guide Rich and with help from Zoe. The rainforest ride was just beautiful and quite easy. The summit descent was a highlight and the added bonus of snow on the ground and a light fall of snow as we descended made it just beautiful. Thanks TMBA for a memorable day.

Mt Wellington downhill bike ride - We had snow on the day of our ride, so we couldn’t reach the top due to the road being closed. We did an alternative track which took us as high as we could go up the mountain, then rode all the way down, through several trails/ tracks. Our guides were wonderful, friendly and very informative about the local flora, fauna and history. The tracks are suitable for a variety of levels but if you haven’t ridden a bike off sealed roads, it can take some getting used to but once again our guides gave us hints and tips on riding throughout the course. I would definitely recommend this experience to any visitor of Hobart

Fun day biking! - My favorite thing I did in Hobart! Such a fun, active day (but not too challenging). You get to see the whole city and beyond. Our tour guide Rich was a ton of fun and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Couldn’t recommend more!
