What to expect

Your tour starts at our South Hobart office. You'll receive a tour briefing, helmet and gloves. You'll also be introduced to your bike - brakes, gears, etc. We'll also check you have completed the waiver emailed to you upon booking. Then, you'll board our minibus and be shuttled to the summit of Mt. Wellington. The first ride is a descent on the asphalt road from the summit. Our minibus will follow the group down the road, providing support if required. If you prefer not to ride the road descent, you can opt to come down in our support vehicle. After the road descent, you'll take a 15-minute bus journey to the next ride. The second trail is off-road, and gently descends through temperate rainforest. The off-road trail is pretty smooth, wide, has a gentle gradient, and is easy to ride. The surface is mostly compacted dirt, with some looser gravel sections. Both rides just require 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 bad weather, instead, we do a longer ride on the off-road rainforest trail. This ensures you still have a thrilling ride and experience the mountain's stunning nature.
