Four adventure-filled days on the wild west coast of Tasmania. 

This four-day all-inclusive adventure package is designed to fuel your sense of adventure and escape into some of Tassie's wildest and remote areas. With our on-trail guide and local knowledge, you'll ride some epic backcountry mountain bike trails at Mt Owen and Silver City MTB networks, alongside your choice of canyoning at Cradle Mountain or cruising the Gordon River overnight onboard the Stormbreaker yacht.

Accommodation is beautifully appointed in the small country town of Queenstown, along with a support vehicle and bike hire. Your holiday is hassle-free, completely immersing you within this wild and remote part of Tasmania.

Skills required: Intermediate to Advanced.

Departing from Launceston or Hobart, Tasmania on Day 1. Please arrive in either city the day before so we can depart early on Day 1.

The west coast is a place of special beauty. It requires planning, patience, and respect.

It can be calm and tranquil one moment and stormy the next. Mountain peaks vanish and appear with the change of clouds; you can get sunburnt in the morning but need a wood fire in the evening. Where rain is measured in metres and the locals play football on gravel. Prepare to immerse yourself in the wild West Coast for an unforgettable adventure.

The mountain biking here includes the backcountry ridgeline riding on offer on Mt Owen, with descents from 985m, and Silver City (Zeehan), with 728m of descent. Both are unique places with panoramic views from various vantage points, allowing you to see where you’ve been and where you’re going.

We recommend a competent level of riding to fully enjoy this tour. The tour includes both Mt Owen and Silver City networks with trail options suitable for intermediate to advanced rider abilities.  

Our hire e-bikes consist of Trek and Norco, each fitted with flat pedals and a complementary helmet. Please provide accurate weight and height measurements for bike size and suspension setup. If any measurements have been guessed, please take the time to record these accurately and resubmit to us via bookings@gointothewild.com.au. An Into The Wild staff member will also double-check these ahead of time. You are welcome to bring your own helmet.

We highly recommend travel insurance to cover any unexpected delays, lost luggage, interruptions or medical treatments.

We recommend booking with our partners at Change Overnight in Launceston on Day 0, or The Woolstore in Hobart. We are happy to do this for you, so select this as an add-on when booking. 

Queenstown accommodation

We will book you into a fully self-contained AirBnb style accommodation house/apartment with one of our partners. All linen and towels are provided. All accommodation is located within Queenstown Tasmania and in easy walking distance to cafes, supermarket, pharmacy and restaurants.

Here are a few things to help you prepare and pack for your adventure with Into The Wild. From the moment you jump in the vehicle, we want you to think less and experience more; taking in the wonder that is Tasmania. Our tours feel more like catching up with old friends you haven’t seen in years and being shown their home. We simply love showing people our backyard, and it shows in everything we do. 

Our vehicles are completely tailored to our needs, with USB charging ports, a fridge, drinking water, mountain bike tools and spares, lots of storage, snacks, and good tunes. All bikes are stored in our lockable and enclosed trailer or secured safely on any one of our custom bike racks or shuttle trailers. 

What to wear on Day 1:

Please be dressed ready to ride. We will make a short stop at a supermarket so you can stock up on breakfast, personal items, and snacking supplies. Within a couple of hours, we’ll arrive in Queenstown and begin the day’s ride.
