What to expect & how to prepare for your tour with us

What to expect

From the moment you jump in the vehicle we want you thinking less and experiencing more; taking in the wonder that is Tasmania. Our tours feel more like catching up with old friends you haven’t seen in years and being shown their home. We simply love showing people our backyard, and it shows in everything we do.

Our vehicles are completely tailored to our needs, with USB charging ports, a fridge, drinking water, mountain bike tools and spares, lots of storage, snacks and good tunes. All bikes are stored in our lockable and enclosed trailer, or secured safely on any one of our custom bike racks or shuttle trailers.

What to wear on Day 1

Please be dressed ready to ride. After a short 1.5hr journey from Launceston to Derby, we will be ready to begin the day’s ride.

Skill levels

Our 3 Day Guided Tours are perfect for beginner and intermediate riders. All our guides are PMBI Level 1 certified, and can provide riding advice and direction if required. A small tweak to your riding can make all the difference.

Need some direction on what to pack?

We recommend packing light, but with enough clothing for riding and non-riding times each day. Tasmanian weather is unpredictable, so pack for any weather conditions. Here’s a guide to what we recommend you bring, along with what we provide on your tour with us.
