The tour starts with a fun & interesting bus journey to the summit. Our experienced local guides will lead you all the way, providing commentary on the history, and nature of the area.
Your first bike ride is an exhilarating 6 km road descent from the summit of Mt Wellington. Starting 1270 metres above sea level, the summit experience & road descent have breathtaking views.

You'll experience breathtaking vistas, towering eucalyptus forests, gigantic ferns, a waterfall, walk under historic aqueducts, gaze into crystal clear babbling streams, and catch glimpses of curious local wildlife.

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.

5.00Phil and Zoe were awesome. They should have cancelled the day when they discovered I was the only biker after some cancellations, but instead they gave me a personalized experience on Mt. Wellington. The ride down the mountain was excellent wherein we reviewed Tasmanian water management practices, and stopped to visit with the wallabies. Next time through I will book one of their longer tours.
A great experience

5.00We 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.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone wishing to see more than just the top of Mt Wellington

5.00Had 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.

5.00We 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
Excellent experience and guides were awesome. Riding through the snow was an incredible feeling with beautiful scenery.
