About this experience
We are the only company offering self guided tours into the hinterland, National Parks and Northern Rivers Rail Trail. Get off the tourist trail and see the magic that exists away from the coast. Be immersed in ancient rainforest, swim in an enchanting waterfall, ride through old railway tunnels and over bridges. See it all in a great day out to remember.
Be amazed at how easy adventuring on an E Bike really is, climb hills like a champ and go further than you thought possible.
We start at our location in Mooball (next to the Moo Moo roadhouse) and finish at the historic Billinudgel Hotel.
You need moderate fitness (the E Bike takes the strain) and good general cycling experience, (over 14 years of age and under 120kgs).
Self Guided so you go in your own group at your own pace, stop where you want - just make it back by 4pm.
