Hobart Sights

  1. Island Cycle Tours

    Island Cycle Tours, with its office inside the Pickled Frog backpackers, offers a van ride to the summit of Mt Wellington, followed by more than 20km of downhill riding (mostly on sealed roads, but with off-road options) back to sea level. There is also the option of combining a bike descent with kayaking trip - this 'pedal 'n' paddle' outing lasts about five hours and includes a meal.

  2. Mount Wellington

    Cloaked in winter snow, Mount Wellington peaks at 1270m (4167ft), towering over Hobart like a benevolent overlord. The citizens find reassurance in its constant, solid presence, while outdoorsy types find the space to hike and bike on its leafy flanks. And the view from the top is unbelievable! Don't be deterred if the sky is overcast - often the peak rises above cloud level and looks out over a magical ocean of rolling white cloud-tops.
