Cycle Rottnest Island from Fremantle on a fast ferry day trip, with bike hire, beaches, clear water, quokkas, and nine hours to explore.
“Really enjoyed this trip. The boat ride over was pleasant, and the bikes provided were great! The weather was just perfect, and the time allocated to the day was exactly enough. There’s time to take a gentle ride around the island and take frequent stops for the views. Would recommend this trip for sure!”

The restaurant Frankie’s was amazing!!”

Cycle through Kuitpo Forest and McLaren Vale vineyards, taste local wine, enjoy farm produce, and return to Adelaide with your bottles.
“The absolute best way to see the country and taste the wine. Ian, our tour guide, was lovely, friendly and very obliging for our needs.

My husband and I are 50+ and we handled the ride , no problem.”
Ride Moreton Island’s ATV tracks, relax at Tangalooma Resort, and feed wild dolphins on a full-day trip from Brisbane.
“Dolphin experience was misleading. Paid for two of us to feed the dolphins but only one of us got to. ATV was fun but I was a beginner & my husband was not but they put him with beginners. Would have been nice to allow him to go & have more adventure with the experienced riders”
Pick a coast, a rock or a vineyard.
