Tarkine Quad and Side by Side Adventures developed from our weekend (and then weekly) hobby of spending plenty of time in the bush around the Tarkine area of the North West Tassie, clearing old tracks, exploring and then showing other riders what we had found. With all the time, knowledge, and gear we were investing in this passion, we started our family business as “Tarkine Quad and Side by Side Adventures” in July 2016, running Tag-A -Long day trips, and now running fully catered and supported multi-adventures!
