The guys at Vertigo Heli Bikes were really helpful, we hired bikes and they gave us really good information on where to go we ended up going to 7 Mile (Wilson's Bay) Mountain Bike track where our teenage boys rated this highly.

We did the Gondola downhill rides and went down with a guide a few times and after that had enough cinvidence to go downhill by ourselves. Great fun and you cna go as fast or slow as you feel. On top of that it is a very sustainable excursion. More

Amazing. We went on the 2nd day of our vacation and we all loved it. We did the skippers canyon as me and my husband trail ride often but do not downhill, the kids are very adventures and are very skiled bikers. They had something for everyone for me and my husband there was an easier road track. The kids... More

The friendly and helpful staff (Paul & Simon) made all the difference at the most well established bike shop on the island. Decent quality dual suspension bikes with helmets, gloves and shin guards provided along with shuttle to guided ride. Skippers isn't too long but you do it twice an have time to take in a view. More

An Ausome experience! Not for the faint hearted. Very rocky at the top, steep decents, and maybe 2 or 3 accents, but mainly all downhill. The single track had a few wet patches on it and a very small amount of snow at the top. The best part of this tour would have to be at the bottom when you... More
