Overview

Your ride starts with an exhilarating 6km road descent from the summit of Mt Wellington. Then, your guides lead you on an enchanting 11km off-road ride, descending through stunning temperate rainforest. Starting 1270 metres above sea level, the summit experience and road descent have breathtaking views over Hobart and way, way, beyond. The off-road rainforest ride gently meanders downhill through incredible temperature rainforest. 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. 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. In between rides, we stop off at the Lost Freight Cafe, where you'll have time to grab some refreshments. The ride finishes back at our Hobart office.

Itinerary

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.

This was an amazing adventure! Phil was an awesome guide. This is a “do not miss” day… believe him when he says it’s cold! But beautiful!

Sore bum but worth it

Great experience. I was really nervous not having been on a bike for years. Phil was awesome made me feel relaxed to go at my own pace. Lots of local knowledge and very welcoming.

Great fun, very knowledgeable guide Richard made the day.

The day started meeting Richard our guide, who actually added to the whole experience, his knowledge was really informative and he was easy to be with. The cycling was thrilling, even though we didn’t have the best weather, I would certainly do it again in a heart beat. Thank you

Beautiful ride down Kunanyi. Historic rain forest ride as well. Great organisation & guide ( Rich) was terrific.

Published on Feb, 2025

We loved the unique ride down Kunanyi. It was excellently organised with the bikes well suited to the task. Rich , the tour guide was great - relaxed , informative & funny. He was also very much safety oriented. It’s a special ride & a great way to spend half a day in Hobart - seeing the mountain & lower rain forest. There’s plenty of history to absorb as well. I’d highly recommend the company & the ride.
