MOUNTAIN BIKE TOURS

Your next epic adventure...

Big Mountain offers guided mountain bike tours within Australia, as well as outbound tours to New Zealand and North America.


We seek out the very best single-track and combine that with unique experiences, great food, and accommodation, in a well-organised, small-group adventure led by professional guides.


COLORADO

The birth place of mountain biking, this is Colorado, where the best singletrack trails on the planet are found. Mountain bikers from all over the world come to Colorado to tackle this fat-tyre paradise. 


DERBY

Once a thriving mining town with the richest tin mine in the world and one of the last remaining wilderness areas, Derby is now home to one of the world's premier mountain bike networks located in Tasmania. 


ROTORUA

One of the oldest mountain bike networks in New Zealand, with master crafted trails, unbeatable riding surfaces, well draining volcanic soils, varying topography and fantastic scenery. It is no wonder Rotorua is renowned among mountain bikers worldwide as a premier riding destination.

Q: What level of ability will I need to go on tour?


A: Our tours are aimed towards the experienced mountain biker i.e. there could well be a few technical sections, descents, steep climbs, and a couple of long days. If you are an intermediate to expert level rider, then these tours are for you. If, however you're a novice rider then we can cater to suit you too! If you have any questions regarding your suitability for a particular tour, please don't hesitate to contact us.


Q: What happens if a trail is closed, or in the event of bad weather?


​A: We make amendments to our tour route on the rare occasion that trails, parks or activities are shut, or closed due to bad weather, trail maintenance, and/or unsafe conditions. If we cannot re-route the tour, or a compromise is not possible, we will refund that portion of the tour.

A: Regardless of where we go, accommodation absolutely must meet our standards and we have hand-picked every place we stay at. Standard accommodation is twin share. In some cases there may be an option to upgrade to a private (double) room.


Q: Do I need travel insurance?


A: We recommend taking out travel insurance once you have booked your tour. Speak to your travel agent as they can usually assist you. If you live in Australia, we would strongly urge you to take out a membership with MTBA - https://www.mtba.org.au/membership

A: Absolutely! A great many of our guests are solo travellers and they have a wonderful time, meeting a bunch of like-minded people that quickly become great friends.

A: Your own reliable, mechanically sound mountain bike, personal riding equipment and apparel, and some spares for general repairs e.g. derailleur hanger, tyres, tubes, chain, and a gear cable, however we can assist you with most mechanical issues, including bicycle assembly and set up. We will also send you a detailed clothing and equipment list. And don't forget to pack a "can-do" attitude and sense of humour.
