Start: Mount Lofty & Adelaide Hills
Your ride explores the iconic trails and forest roads around Mount Lofty, Cleland Conservation Park and the Adelaide Hills. For private guided experiences, transport will be organised from central Adelaide to the start of your ride. Self-guided riders typically begin from the Tour Operator's Belair base, riding selected routes through the surrounding hills.
Go through a brief setup and safety check to ensure your bike is comfortable and you’re ready to ride.
Riding Through Cleland Conservation Park
From Mount Lofty and Cleland, you’ll ride through stunning native bushland on a mix of forest trails, quiet access roads and scenic descents. These routes are chosen for their views, flow and safety, and can be adjusted to suit different riding abilities.
This early section is a great chance to settle into the ride, enjoy the surroundings and spot local wildlife.
Wildlife Encounters & Morning Break
Cleland Conservation Park is one of the best places near Adelaide to spot wildlife in its natural environment. Koalas are frequently seen resting in the trees, along with kangaroos, wallabies and emus.
On guided experiences, you’ll enjoy a relaxed morning tea or café-style stop along the way, surrounded by bushland and wildlife.
Scenic Descents & Adelaide Hills Trails
The highlight of the experience is riding through the heart of the Adelaide Hills, enjoying flowing forest trails, gentle descents and open sections with sweeping views back across the city and plains.
Rather than a single fixed route, your ride is tailored to your group — from easier, confidence-building trails to longer or more adventurous options for experienced riders.
Finish: Adelaide Hills or City Fringe
Depending on your chosen option and route, the ride finishes either back near the Belair base or on the edge of Adelaide’s parklands, marking the end of a memorable day exploring Mount Lofty and the Adelaide Hills by bike.
