Such an incredible experience!! So much beauty to see and a fun bike ride as well. We decided not to ride the first part of the summit as it was a little icy and by the recommendation of our highly experienced guide Zoe. Once we got to the off road track it was go ahead and we got to stop along the way for some great historical briefs. Would highly recommend.

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Hobart. Rich was such an interesting and welcoming guide. His knowledge of the descent and trails were comforting and helpful. It was such a cool way to see the different landscapes Hobart has to offer. The loan of the warm jackets and gloves for the summit descent were both needed and appreciated. Thanks for taking us Rich, we had an awesome time.
