From AUD
$50.00
- Duration: 3 Hours (approx.)
- Location: South Hobart, TAS
A gentle, mostly downhill and novice-friendly ride on bush trials. Our bus leaves from our office in South Hobart and will take you to the starting point in Neika. From there you will ride along a historic waterway called the Pipeline Track, finishing back at our start point in South Hobart.
Your experienced guide will ride with you all the way, making sure your riding experience is as much fun as it can be.
Along the way, you will ride through beautiful eucalyptus and fern forest, visit a waterfall, ride past historic aqueducts and take in some great views. There is a mid-ride short stop off at the quaint village of Fern Tree for a toilet/rest stop. For the 1.30-4.30pm tour, we will visit the Ferntree Tavern where you can buy lovely tea/coffee/cakes and other beverages. On cold days, they have a roaring fire to warm up by.
You should expect the journey to take around 3 hours.
Bikes
You can bring your own mountain bike or hire one of our bikes. Please note, the price of the tour does not include bike hire.
If you'd like to hire one of our bikes, we offer two options:

You can expect the journey to take about 3 hours.
What to wear
