Beautiful mountain! Incredible panoramic views from the top after a short drive. Then a super fun downhill mountain bike experience begins with a quick stopover at a quaint snack shop. Our guide, was kind, informative & professional with outstanding equipment. We enjoyed our stops and discussions, especially the waterfall in the rainforest. They offer gloves, jackets, and neck warmers if needed at the summit. A very thoughtful and comfortable consideration. Plus, they have fun merchandise to commemorate your trip to Tasmania.
A highlight of our visit...

Fabulous morning cycling down from the summit of Mt Wellington. The first section is along the steep road but the bus follows the group with hazard lights flashing & absolutely no pressure for the slowest person. Then a coffee stop before cutting across the mountain on a wide dirt trail stopping along the way to learn interesting information about the area. A beautiful ride through ferns & eucalyptus trees, stopping at a waterfall & riding past the reservoirs. Just a lovely scenic ride that ends up back at the office in Hobart. Lovely, informative staff. Definitely need long sleeves & pants as the wind chill at the top & as you are heading down at speed has a bite. My only issue was that I wished we had been given another few minutes at the top of the mountain to enjoy the view (literally were told we had ten minutes) from the various points but I understand it was a descent tour not a summit view tour. Will highly recommend to my Sydney friends.
