The summit sits 1,271 metres straight above the city, and on a clear day you can see most of southern Tasmania from the boardwalk.

Downhill from Mt Wellington to rainforest on an easy guided bike ride with a small group, support vehicle, and wildlife-focused stops.
“This experience was well worth it! I'll start by saying that my partner is the more experienced and confident bicycle rider, and I am less experienced so I was definitely anxious going into this (even though it was my idea, haha). However, Zoe and Phil were fantastic in making sure we all felt safe and confident throughout the entire ride, ensuring we all rode at our own pace and explaining exactly what to expect during different segments of the ride. I was able to get off and walk my bike a couple times and not once did I feel rushed. This was truly an exhilarating experience and I am so…”
