👋 MEET THE TEAM – ZOË EXTON Some people sit still 👋 MEET THE TEAM – ZOË EXTON

Some people sit still.

Zoë isn’t one of them.

When she’s not guiding guests through Tasmania’s incredible trail network, you’ll likely find her chasing waves at sunrise, hiking a remote track, swimming in icy water, competing in pickleball tournaments around Tasmania and interstate, or planning her next adventure.

A lifelong learner, educator, linguist and explorer, Zoë has worked both internationally and across Australia, bringing a genuine curiosity about people and places wherever she goes. One of her favourite parts of guiding is hearing the stories that guests bring with them and helping create unforgettable memories during their time in Tasmania.

Zoë has a deep connection with the natural world and an uncanny ability to spot wildlife. Around TASMBA, she’s earned a reputation as our resident “animal whisperer” and is responsible for more platypus sightings than anyone else on the team.

In fact, she may be the only person in the world who can claim that a juvenile platypus once jumped into her lap.

She feels incredibly fortunate to have shared waves with dolphins, explored Tasmania’s wild corners, and now gets to share those experiences with visitors from around the globe.

Whether she’s driving the shuttle, guiding a tour, spotting wildlife, or somehow fitting a surf and a pickleball match into the same day, Zoë brings enthusiasm, warmth and a sense of adventure to everything she does.

💚 Fun Facts:
🏄 Known to beat the crowds with a dawn surf before guiding a tour.
🦆 Holds the unofficial TASMBA record for platypus sightings.
🏓 Regularly competes in pickleball tournaments across Tasmania and interstate.
🌏 Has worked and travelled around the world but proudly calls Tasmania home.

🔴 RUG UP. RIDE RED. 🔴

Dark Mofo is returning to Hobart from 11–22 June, and we’re joining the celebration in true Tasmanian style.

Throughout June, we’re encouraging all riders on our guided kunanyi / Mt Wellington day tours to rug up, wear red, and help paint the mountain red.

Whether it’s a red jacket, beanie, gloves, socks, or just a splash of crimson, we’d love to see you embrace the spirit of Dark Mofo while taking in the incredible winter views from Tasmania’s most iconic mountain.

Winter riding on kunanyi is something special - crisp air, quieter trails, dramatic skies, and a whole new perspective of Hobart below. Add a little red and you’ll be part of a celebration that makes this time of year uniquely Tasmanian.

❤️ Dress warm
🚲 Ride red
⛰️ Experience kunanyi in winter

Join us this June and help us Paint the Mountain Red.

📍 kunanyi / Mt Wellington, Hobart
📅 Throughout June

👋 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!
