An adjustable helmet, gloves, warm fleece jacket and rain jacket are all provided in the tour price plus as a guest of Island Cycle Tours. Your guide will ride with you all the way from the summit into town, for larger groups there are more guides. We use a ratio of 1 guide per 5 guests.

Fitness Level

Cycling: If you've ridden a bike before, and can hang on and steer, then you'll be fine. You don't need to be fit to ride down the mountain. There's an opportunity for approximately 5km of fun off-road trail riding at the base of the mountain which includes some hills, but this is optional. Once you get off the mountain, the roads are mostly flat, in some cases there are some gentle inclines.

Sea kayaking: There is no fitness level required for this gentle paddle.

Guides: On each trip, there will be a riding guide to lead you back into Hobart.
