If you want to experience all the high-octane fun of a roller coaster ride while also having the possibility to take in some truly breathtaking views, then a descent of Mount Wellington on a bicycle is just the thing for you! An extinct volcano, Mount Wellington can be found at the edge of the city of Hobart in New Zealand and those in search of centrally located accommodation in Hobart from which to make the journey to this site can consider Somerset on Salamanca Hobart. Featuring modern apartment accommodation Hobart has to offer, this well placed property makes an ideal base for your visit.
Towering to a height of around 1,271 metres, Mount Wellington is covered by snow during winter, while during the warmer months it provides the perfect setting in which to enjoy some cycling fun. Though the journey up near the summit may take some gruelling pedal power, the ride downhill is one full of adrenaline pumping thrills. Mount Wellington descent cycling tours are specially designed to provide you with a chance to not only enjoy this experience (minus the uphill climb), but also take in the panoramic views from certain viewpoints; witness the stunning landscapes of Hobart including the Derwent Valley and the coastal scenery that stretches into the distance. Enjoy the pure thrill of speed and freedom as you rush downhill on this tour which takes around 3 hours, though it is shorter if you plan to just focus on the need for speed!
