👋 MEET THE TEAM – PHIL EXTON If you’ve ridden wit 👋 MEET THE TEAM – PHIL EXTON If you’ve ridden with us before, chances are you’ve met the man behind Tasmanian Mountain Bike Adventures. Phil grew up on a farm in country Victoria and discovered a love of two wheels early on. Like many kids of the 70s, he started out on a Raleigh Chopper but it didn’t take long to realise slick tyres and chopper bars weren’t exactly built for the trails! After university, Phil visited Tasmania for a holiday and never left. He fell in love with the island, its people, and its wild places, and has spent decades exploring and sharing everything that makes Tasmania special. In 2017, Phil traded in life as a school principal to follow his passion and founded Tasmanian Mountain Bike Adventures. His vision was simple: help visitors experience Tasmania’s world-class trails and incredible landscapes in a way that’s fun, welcoming, and memorable. When he’s not guiding riders around kunanyi / Mt Wellington, you’ll likely find him: 🏔️ Exploring another Tasmanian adventure 🏓 Playing pickleball (and this year being drafted into Team Bandits for the National All Stars Pickleball League!) 🏉 Cheering on his beloved Collingwood Magpies 🎤 Telling stories and delivering the occasional dad joke Phil is a passionate Tasmanian ambassador, entrepreneur, adventurer, and lifelong mountain biker. His enthusiasm for Tasmania is infectious, and his favourite part of every tour is helping guests discover just how special this island really is. If you join us on tour, be prepared for great riding, great stories, and maybe even a dad joke or two. 🧡 Thanks for everything you do, Phil! If you’ve ridden with Phil, let us know your favourite Phil story below! 👇 #MeetTheTeam #TasmanianMountainBikeAdventures #TASMBA

Just when you think you’ve seen everything kunanyi Just when you think you’ve seen everything kunanyi has to offer, the mountain reveals another surprise. 💙 The Disappearing Tarn has made an appearance once again. Most of the time it’s hidden from view, but after periods of sustained rain, this remarkable alpine pool emerges among the rocks, transforming the landscape into something that feels almost otherworldly. A reminder that the mountain is constantly changing with the seasons, the weather and the water that shapes it. If you’re heading up to visit this weekend, take only photos, leave only footprints and help preserve this special place for others to enjoy. How lucky are we to have places like this right on Hobart’s doorstep? ❤️ 📍 The Disappearing Tarn - kunanyi / Mt Wellington #kunanyi #mountwellington #disappearingtarn #tasmania #discovertasmania
🌿🚵‍♀️ Guest Review Spotlight 🚵‍♂️🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A must 🌿🚵‍♀️ Guest Review Spotlight 🚵‍♂️🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A must do bike ride!” Nothing makes us smile more than hearing that a guest had an unforgettable day exploring kunanyi / Mt Wellington with us. “After reading the reviews we had no choice but to go on the ride and so glad we did… Rich was a fantastic guide and explained everything – what, where, how and when. We rode through a beautiful rainforest area and were not disappointed.” From the rocky alpine landscapes high on the mountain to the towering rainforest trails below, this ride showcases the incredible diversity that makes kunanyi so special. Along the way, our guides share the stories, history, geology, flora and fauna that bring the mountain to life. A huge thank you to our wonderful guests for joining us and for taking the time to share such kind words. And a special shout-out to Rich for delivering another memorable experience! 👏 If you’re visiting Hobart and looking for an adventure that combines breathtaking scenery, local knowledge and plenty of fun on two wheels, we’d love to show you around. 📍 Guided Summit to Rainforest Ride 🚴 Suitable for most fitness levels 🌿 Explore alpine landscapes, rainforest trails and everything in between #TASMBA #TasmanianMountainBikeAdventures #kunanyi #MtWellington #DiscoverTasmania
