Mt lofty descent was great. Fab wildlife spotting (1 large kanga, about 5 or 6 koalas in the wild), SUPER tasty brownies from Ian's wife for morning tea. Bike trail accessible for most but still able to be challenging for more experienced riders too. Recommended! More

The Mt Lofty ride is a fun ride and Ian is an excellent guide. The scenery is great and this is just out od Adelaide. You are in the forest in no time and out of the city. Lots of wildlife! More

We did the Mount Lofty Descents tour and had a great time. The ride down was full of beautiful scenery and we saw some Koalas in the wild. As a beginner mountain biker, the ride was easy to moderate with a few tricky parts. Our guide, Ian, made sure to warn us and give tips on navigating these sections. The... More

What an awesome trip, we were able to take it at our own pace and stop and see as we went. Absolutely beautiful ride down and adventurous at the same time, suitable for any level of bike rider. An excellent way to see Koala's in the wild as well as the Kangaroo's and other animals at the Wildlife Park. Brownies... More

Highly recommend this unconventional tour. Ian was a fantastic guide and even let us take a detour off the normal course as long as we promised to do some uphill work. Cleland Wildlife Park was wonderful and viewing koalas in the wild was a treat. Get off the bus and hit the trails, you won't regret it! More
