Wildlife bike tour with Geoff - Awesome day, easy to book picked up on time.
The bike ride was interesting and took in the local area well. Came across kangaroo " family" only 5 minutes into the ride. The Cleland wildlife park was well worth the time and enjoyed the coffee and snack to warm up by the central fireplace.
Geoff was our guide and looked after the group as there were several other couples on the ride as well.
We enjoyed it so much we booked an all day ride for the Sunday.

Worth Considering!! - Ian was absolutely the best guide on our tour. He was patient, supportive, and encouraging! The views and the varied perspectives of the bush, the cityscape, and the animal refuge made for some wonderful memories! We recommend this tour. It was a highlight of our trip to Adelaide.

Biking down the mountain is a bit thrilling - Although some of the sharp curves and steep slopes were a little scary, I really enjoyed the activity. The guide was also very friendly. The course also includes a zoo-like park, but whether or not you can see wild koalas depends on your luck. You should be prepared for some muscle soreness the next day.

A scenic fun activity - The Mount Lofty Descent Bike experience provided a brillant opportunity to show cast Adelaide in it's full glory. The tour starts with a short, relaxing drive to the summit and an incredible panoramic view over the city. The ride was refreshingly cool esp since Adelaide had temperatures in the high 30's. I enjoyed exercising with a few achieveable challanges 'here & there'. My highlight was being able to 'ride and chat' to my friends whilst spotting koalas in the trees. Thank you Ian for providing a great day's experience.

A great day out! - Amazing views of Adelaide. Beautiful National parkland to ride through. Ian made sure we were all happy and comfortable with each section, giving advice on how to ride turns and steep bits. It was great fun. We saw a wild koala and had time in Cleland Wildlife park getting to know other SA species including some cute rock wallabies and very sleepy koalas. A great day out!
