Fossicking & Mountain Biking Experience - Join Us✨

North-East Tasmania is famous for two things; mountain biking and... Tasmanian sapphires 💎

In collaboration with acclaimed jeweller Des Gray from Des Gray , we are delighted to invite you on an exclusive 3-Day Fossicking and Mountain Biking Experience departing 9th December 2026!

On this premium and immersive Experience, alongside our team, you will be guided by bike with Des, deep into sensational sapphire territory, where you will fossick for your own sapphires. If luck goes your way (and if it doesn’t, Des has got you sorted), you’ll snag a sapphire, where Des will then work with you to craft into a unique jewellery creation.

Given the all-consuming nature of this trip, our group size is limited to four people... It will be an ‘exclusive and memorable’ style Experience at it’s best.

For more information about this Experience, contact us directly via our website 📧

We can’t wait to host you on this ‘sparkling’ Experience.

Recommendations include; where to give way to bikes (spoiler alert, all of Derby township), not riding all the time (really?… yes), and ensuring you get some solid time in the rainforest.

Honestly, the traffic around here 🙄🐄

Enroute to the stunning Blue Tier trail, we sometimes come across local traffic. Rest assured, the hold up is only minutes, once the cows have filled their curiosity with a quick sniff of our bikes, and we’ve waved to the farmer, and we’re off again 😊

Every year we treat ourselves to a day of adventure together… At our annual Pods Team Day! 🚵‍♂️

This year we really dived into our ‘adventure’ value and alongside Des from Des Gray we spent a day riding to the most stunning river location on the remote Blue Tier to fossick for Tasmanian sapphires!

We all rode, shovels strapped to bikes, panning sieves squished in back packs to this special location. Mud and adrenaline levels high, we then weaved our way through dense rainforest to start panning. Yes, the rivers were freezing, but once we started to find sapphires, none of us noticed! After multiple hours, and much success, we called ‘last sieves!’, before jumping on the bikes to ride the final trails at dusk back to Weldborough Hotel for a much earned dinner.

What a day.

Thank you Des from Des Gray 🙏 Your knowledge and talent is incredible, not to mention your stunning jewelry creations 💍

Thank you Pods team, for living our Pods values through and through, and absolutely embracing this epic adventure together 🙏 You are all awesome.

How lucky are we to live and work in this absolutely stunning environment? 🌳

Cheers,
Tara and Steve - BDPR Directors

Another review which has made us feel so grateful that we get to join our guests in their mountain biking holidays… Thank you for joining us Bernhard! ⭐️

“If you are reading Blue Derby Pods Ride reviews to decide whether you want to go or not. Do not hesitate! What a fantastic experience this was!! The crew, Misty, Owen, Finn and Danni were absolutely fantastic and there was nothing that they would not do for you. The riding was absolutely brilliant and it was so nice to have a local Guide with you. The pods are absolutely brilliant so nice and warm. It was wet for the first day and a half when we were there after that the sun came out and made everything even better. The facilities, the food, the company was all simply brilliant! Cannot recommend you guys enough and cannot wait to come back for a second trip!” - Bernhard - Google Review
