My wife and I went on the Mt Wellington forest bike ride with Richard on our last day in Hobart. It was a colder than normal day but Rich had spare bike gloves and thick jackets to protect us. It's a very pleasant and relatively easy ride. If you can stay upright on a bike then you're good. The bikes are very good too. Richard is very knowledgeable about the area and a fantastic guide. Would highly recommend this.

Unfortunately, due to... read more the strong winds, we could not start right at the summit, but I don't think anyone was in disagreement.

Highly recommend this activity if you are reasonably comfortable on a bike.

Well worth the money - Our cruise ship changed times for porting in Hobart. We made contact with the company and they were able to reach out to the other riders scheduled on our ride... read more and arrange a time we could all meet and ride. Zoey and Rich are the best. They are friendly, knowledgeable and funny, if you have ANY riding experience, you can do this ride. Our first stop was the top of Mt. Wellington where we were shown breathtaking views of Hobart and the surrounding area. We then took a leisurely ride down the mountain making a few stops. Afterwards we went to the other side of the mountain and rode through the forest. It was AMAZING. WE SAW A EICHNED (hedgehog/porcupine) on the side I of the road and a group of wallabies. Many stops along the way with good views and waterfalls. Zoey and Rich were friendly and welcoming and we met any new friends from London and Australia. Nice little marketplace across the street from the headquarters if you want a snack or something for the ride. The bikes we used were top notch and well maintained. Definitely worth the money.

I would highly recommend them.

Thank you so much to the team for a wonderful experience!
I did the Mt Wellington bike ride with a group of 14 colleagues, an activity I probably never would have thought to book for myself as it pushed me way out of my comfort zone not being a confident bike rider, but I am so thrilled I did it. The patience of Rich was so amazing, he stayed at the back and ensured us less confident riders felt comfortable the whole way. Wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone!

The Mt Wellington / kunanyi descent trip is a must do on any visit to Hobart. I had no mountain biking experience, but felt totally comfortable the whole time.
Pipeline trail is a highlight with the stunning scenery, amazing trails and many opportunities for photos.

What a cracker of a morning before flying out. Phil couldn’t have looked after us better in sorting the right quality Scott gear, shuttle and only the best guide info for a ride down Mnt Wellington (1650m decent, 340m ascent, 1:58) Will be boomeranging!
