The absolute best!
I've taken dozens of MTB tours around the world, but very few have I repeated. Tasmanian Mountain Bike Adventures is one of them.
- Tasmania has some of the best and most remote trails in the world.
- Phil is a great biker and knows the trails very well.
- Phil is a funny, engaging, and knowledgeable guide.
- His crew are all very helpful and friendly.
I consider the town of Derby to be one of the three top locations in the world for biking. We had a wide mix of skills and abilities on tour there, and everyone had a great time.

Wonderful experience. The staff took great care of our large group with many children, and we had an exhilarating afternoon in beautiful Tassie forests 🌳!!

Had a fantastic week of riding with Phil and crew. They know how to run a trip for anyone and everyone. We had a group of 11 with various skills and needs and Phil was able to tweak the trip on the fly to satisfy everyone’s needs and desires. Tasmania is such an amazing place and Phil really added to our experience with his knowledge and friendship. We want to bring all of our friends back and do another trip with Phil so they can experience it! The trip was really a great value for all of the planning, knowledge, and logistics Phil provides. Thank you Tasmanian mountain bike adventures!

This is the second time I have visited Tassie and toured with Tasmanian MTB adventures and I don’t think it will be my last. Phil is the ultimate biking guide, and Gary made every shuttle/drive/bike drop seamless and no stress. They are both awesome individuals and a blast to hang out with in between the week of riding. Speaking of: the riding! There are pretty amazing world class trails where I live in the states, but this is a whole other level! Derby has everything you could want to ride, and the scenery is hard to beat. Worth the trip around the globe for riding with Tasmanian MTB Adventure!

This was great day. Rich and Gary are excellent guides and the bikes are great. They let us enjoy the ride at our own pace. Unfortunately, due to the strong winds, we could not start right at the summit, but I don't think anyone was in disagreement. We did start a little bit down the mountain and so there was plenty of time to do a good run. We then had a few minutes break and then Rich and Gary loaded the bikes and then took us to the rainforest trail. This was really fun - many different kinds of trail surfaces and vegetation types. Highly recommend this activity if you are reasonably comfortable on a bike.

Well worth the money - Our cruise ship changed times for porting in Hobart.

They are friendly, knowledgeable and funny, if you have ANY riding experience, you can do this ride. Our first stop was the top of Mt. Wellington where we were shown breathtaking views of Hobart and the surrounding area. We then took a leisurely ride down the mountain making a few stops. Afterwards we went to the other side of the mountain and rode through the forest. It was AMAZING. WE SAW A EICHNED (hedgehog/porcupine) on the side I of the road and a group of wallabies. Many stops along the way with good views and waterfalls. Zoey and Rich were friendly and welcoming and we met any new friends from London and Australia. Nice little marketplace across the street from the headquarters if you want a snack or something for the ride. The bikes we used were top notch and well maintained. Definitely worth the money.

I would highly recommend them.

Thank you so much to the team for a wonderful experience!
I did the Mt Wellington bike ride with a group of 14 colleagues, an activity I probably never would have thought to book for myself as it pushed me way out of my comfort zone not being a confident bike rider, but I am so thrilled I did it. The patience of Rich was so amazing, he stayed at the back and ensured us less confident riders felt comfortable the whole way. Wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone!

The Mt Wellington / kunanyi descent trip is a must do on any visit to Hobart. I had no mountain biking experience, but felt totally comfortable the whole time.
Pipeline trail is a highlight with the stunning scenery, amazing trails and many opportunities for photos.

What a cracker of a morning before flying out. Phil couldn’t have looked after us better in sorting the right quality Scott gear, shuttle and only the best guide info for a ride down Mnt Wellington (1650m decent, 340m ascent, 1:58) Will be boomeranging!
