Tour Description
Meet the bus at Brooke St Pier (cnr Brooke St and Franklin Wharf) for departure. Depart Hobart, and drive 21km by van to the summit of Mount Wellington. Rising to a height of 1270 metres, Mt Wellington is a spectacular and panoramic backdrop for the city of Hobart. From the top you’ll see for miles and miles up the Derwent Valley, down to the Southern Ocean and across to Port Arthur. The inlets, bays and hills of this beautiful city are spread out in a stunning panorama, detailed at the lookout at the summit.
Take in the views of the distant mountain ranges of the southwest, to the sprawling city of Hobart below. Your guides will fit you with a helmet and gloves followed by a detailed safety and rules briefing. After a practice ride at the summit, regroup and follow your guide on a downhill descent of the mountain riding 21km back into the city. Watch the alpine terrain gradually being replaced by a magnificent forest and stop on several occasions to take in the varying views and snap a picture or two. The winding mountain road takes you down to the foothills where you can choose to experience the thrill of the off-road section. Ride some winding, twisting ups and downs – only for the adventurous at heart, the off-road section rejoins at Cascade Gardens. Cycle through the outer suburbs of South Hobart and Battery Point and enjoy cruising beneath the tree-lined streets filled with Georgian and Federation architecture. Complete the journey in Salamanca Place on the waterfront of Hobart.
