Mountains & Beaches Ride

Start your tour savouring the sights and sounds of the bustling metropolis of Sydney, one of the world’s most scenic cities. Enjoy time exploring famous landmarks including Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Bondi Beach to name but a few before sampling local cuisine and discovering what else the city has to offer.

Your adventure starts with a ride to the Royal National Park, before climbing the Stanwell tops to see the birds in action on the 200m cliffs. The ride along the coast offers many fine views while negotiating the bends, hopefully the blowhole at Kiama will give you a good show, before arriving in secluded and serene Kangaroo Valley.

Start the day with a ride to Fitrzoy Falls, before continuing to the Southern Highlands, with its lush landscapes and quaint villages such as Berrima, an unspoilt example of a small Australian town in the 1830s. Continue towards the Blue Mountains, enjoying the incredible scenery, huge waterfalls and the second largest canyon on earth before dinner.

This morning is spent sightseeing in the Blue Mountains – Three Sisters, Wentworth Falls, cable car rides, lovely walks through the lush, ‘blue’ bushland from which the area gets its name, and plenty of scenic outlooks. Today’s route is a circular ride around the mountains before heading back to your hotel for the night.

Get up early because there’s more spectacular riding. Take the winding back road past the gorges of Wollemi National Park. Visit the renowned Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens for lunch. Carry on down the Putty Road, one of Australia’s most exciting biking roads, which takes you to your accommodation in Hunter Valley, home to some tantalising wineries.

More incredible riding and views along a scenic and twisty back road takes you through New England to Armidale. Famous for its deciduous trees and offers some of the most scenic roads in Australia. A country town feel combined with a good choice of restaurants mean Armidale is a nice place in which to spend the evening.

It’s not a long day on the bike but there’s so much to see it takes all day. The simply breathtaking Waterfall Way will have you enthralled all the way – dense rainforest, countless waterfalls, huge views over New England National Park and one of the best biking roads in the country. Stay the night at the base of the Great Dividing Range.

You want more spectacular back roads? You got it! From your overnight stop wind your way through northern NSW to the far north hinterland region known as Rainbow Country. Overnight in Lismore, a cosmopolitan eclectic town with a laid-back atmosphere.

This journey takes you along fantastic twisting, windy roads through the hinterland of the Gold Coast. You’ll pass through Australia’s most famous hippie destination in Nimbin and see more spectacular national parks along the way. As you travel along it’s hard to imagine that just 30km or so east is one of the busiest and fastest growing areas of Australia.

Heading west out of Brisbane more winding roads and the glorious sights of the Glasshouse Mountains will keep you busy all day. You can also visit Steve Irwin’s Australia Zoo on the way to your overnight stop at Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. Spend time at the beach or visit Noosa National Park.

Ride south along the Sunshine Coast past the busy tourist towns of Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Caloundra. The Gold Coast is Australia’s most visited holiday destination – great beaches, busy nightlife and a beautiful hinterland. Stay off the freeway for the best roads and sights and end the day in Ballina.

You have a day free in Byron Bay to relax on the beach, visit the famous lighthouse and enjoy the atmosphere in town at one of the many restaurants. If you’d like to explore a little more on the bike take a ride into the lovely hinterland – it’s up to you how you spend the day!

Follow the line of spectacular beaches on the Pacific Coast and visit great towns including Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie. Enjoy the coastal scenery and holiday resorts on your trip back down the coast. Stay overnight in Port Macquarie, a relaxed city with a good complement of restaurants and bars.

More coastal scenery and magnificent beaches await today. It’s a shorter trip back in terms of time as you’ve seen the hinterland highlights on the way. After returning your motorcycle, end your tour with a great dinner in one of the Rocks area and enjoy a drink in one of the historical pubs popular with locals and tourists alike!

Your tour is over and it’s time to head back to the airport, or on to your next adventure, with some fantastic memories.
