Winter is a perfect time of year for this tour. Warm
sunny days that are dry and without the humidity of Summer make
it a great time to visit. There's a huge amount to see on this
trip. You can either ride each day or leave a few days spare to
see some of the highlights such as Fraser Island, the Whistundays
and and the Great Barrier Reef that can only be seen via a separate
excursion.
This tour ends close to Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast. There
is a great bus service that takes you to the city centre or airport
from the depot's door and so it's convenient and a lovely place
to celebrate the end of the trip.
 Cairns
- the holiday capital of northern Queensland. This is where you'll
start the trip and toast a wonderful experience to come at one
of the many bars and restaurants in town!
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.
 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'.
Daintree Rainforest - the
oldest rainforest on earth. Visit the very helpful 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.
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 superb riding on the roads of this
undulating region of rainforest and farming.
 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.
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.
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.
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.
Brisbane - At the end of
your trip you may wish to visit Brisbane - what better way to
celebrate a great holiday than with a glass of something nice
overlooking the river? We can orgasnie your accommodation here
if it helps. Brisbane is the bustling capital of Queensland with
a great river, good nightlife and beautiful botanical gardens.
There is no difference in costs if you ride alone or with a pillion.
* Flights are not included
in the price.
