This tour is designed to start on the Sunshine Coast. There is
a great bus service that takes you to the depot's door from the
city centre or airport and we'll even pay your fare to get there!
Brisbane - before you start
the trip you may wish to visit Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Alternatively,
take a couple of extra days and we'll build these into the bike
tour. Brisbane is the bustling capital of Queensland with a great
river, good nightlife and beautiful botanical gardens. The Gold
Coast and Surfers Paradaise has great beaches, theme parks and
is Australia's holiday capital.
Sunshine Coast - this area
as one of the most spectacular hinterlands in the country with
rainforests, waterfalls, pineapple plantations and the beautiful
Glass House Mountains. Add a lovely coastline and upmarket coastal
resorts and it makes for a great day's ride.
Fraser Island - stay at Rainbow
Beach for two nights and take a 4WD tour on the spare day (+AU$169
p.p.) to the largest sand island in the world. Many people consider
this one of the highlights of their trip as you take the eastern
beach (the 'main road'!) north to rainforests, crystal clear freshwater
lakes, shipwrecks on the beach and huge sand dunes. Take a flight
over the island as an option for about AU$70. You'll take off
and land on the beach and it's a great experience for the relatively
low cost.
Eungella NP - walk the rainforest
in search of the famous Platypus. There are some lovely walking
trails through this area and the Rangers are on hand to help you
discover more about the original aboriginal inhabitants, bush
tucker and the flora and fauna of the forest.
 Whitsunday
Islands - this is a beautiful series of paradise islands
just off of the small coastal town of Airlie Beach where you'll
stay for two nights.
With the spare day take a cruise (+AU$135 p.p.) around some of
the most perfect coral islands in the world. Visit the stunning
Whitehaven Beach and snorkel in protected bays over teaming coral
gardens. In the evenings enjoy the lively pubs and restaurants
of the town centre.
Atherton Tablelands - superb
rolling green scenery with some of the most beautiful waterfalls
in Australia on the Waterfall Circuit. Visit the 500 year old
Curtain Fig Tree and enjoy the roads in this undulating region
of rainforest and farming.
Daintree Rainforest - the
oldest rainforest on earth an Information Centre that takes you
on a tour of the densely tangled forest via boardwalks and a tower
that allows you to get deep into the canopy and find out all about
the birds, plant, animal and insect life at each level of the
jungle. The small, tightly twisting roads are good fun on a bike
too but take your time and enjoy the views.
Cape Tribulation - the coconut
lined beach here backs straight on to the rainforest. There aren't
many places on earth you can sit and listen to bird and insect
sounds of the rainforest whilst taking a picnic on the beach!
Captain Cook beached his damaged ship The Endeavour here to make
repairs and hence the name 'Cape Tribulation'.
 Port
Douglas - a beautiful small tropical town with great restaurants
and bars. It's the nearest port to the Great Barrier Reef and
so ideal for taking a fast catamaran cruise out to the reef to
snorkel for the day (+AU$155 p.p.). An unforgettable experience.
Cairns - the holiday
capital of northern Queensland. This is where you'll finish the
trip and celebrate a wonderful experience at one of the many bars
and restaurants in town!
There is no difference in costs if you ride alone or with a pillion.
* Flights are not included
in the price.
