A bike ride puts you closer to the landscape than a bus window. Cycling tours across Australia range from full day wine country rides to short, self-guided coastal trails, no bike ownership or experience required. Set your own pace or follow a guide, on a standard bike or an e-bike, and stop wherever the view is worth it.
Cycling tours run across New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, on standard bikes and e-bikes alike. Guided tours set the pace for you, with food or wine stops built into the route. Self-guided tours hand you a map and a return time, so you ride at your own speed. Bike and helmet hire come with every listing, and no cycling experience is assumed.
Manly is the easiest starting point for a Sydney bike tour. The Self Guided Bicycle Hire gives you two hours to ride the harbourside paths at your own pace, no set route required. For couples, the Tandem Bicycle Hire turns the same two hours into a shared ride on one bike, with helmets and a lock included.
The Electric Bicycle Tour of Bayside Melbourne covers the city's coastline on an e-bike, flattening any hills along the way. An hour out of the city, the Yarra Valley Guided Bike Tour with Lunch & Drinks spends a full day riding around 30 kilometres through wine country, with a guide, cellar door tastings and lunch built into the route, and suits riders 18 and over since wine tastings are part of the day. Closer to the bay, the Mornington Peninsula Self Guided Bike Ride covers around 25 kilometres at your own pace, open to riders 16 and over.
The Narrow Neck Trail Self Guided Mountain E-Bike Hire and Hanging Rock Self Guided Mountain E-Bike Hire both run through the Blue Mountains, each fitted with a current electric mountain bike and around three to four hours allowed on the trail. Riders need to be at least 14, and anyone under 18 rides with a paying parent or guardian. On the South Coast, the 4 Hour E-Bike Hire with Gourmet Picnic Box in Narooma follows a 21 kilometre round trip coastal track, open to riders from 12, with a picnic built into the ride.
In the Barossa Valley, the Barossa Valley Gourmet Food & Wine E-Bike Tour uses the electric assist to handle any hills between cellar doors. Hahndorf offers two formats: the Hahndorf Guided Food and Wine E-Bike Tour, with tastings built in and best suited to riders 18 and over, and the Hahndorf Self Guided Electric Bike Tour, a six hour self-guided option for anyone who would rather set their own stops.
On Kangaroo Island, the Kangaroo Island Guided Electric Bike Tour spends two hours moving small groups through conservation park terrain that is home to more wildlife than predators. Over in Western Australia, the Rottnest Island Ferry & Bike Hire from Perth turns a full day into a ferry crossing plus bike hire on the island, while the Guided E-Bike Tour on Rottnest Island adds a guide, three hours in the saddle and a minimum age of 12.
A cycling tour gives someone a reason to get outside and see somewhere properly, instead of another thing to find room for. It works for the friend who already owns a bike and the one who has not ridden since primary school, for a couple's day out or a group booking for a birthday.
A RedBalloon Gift Voucher lets them pick the ride, the region and the pace themselves, from a two hour Manly loop to a full day through wine country.
The Electric Bike Tour - O'Shannassy Aqueduct Trail in Warburton sets a minimum age of 16 and rules out pregnant riders, since it covers a 14 kilometre return trail entirely on an e-bike. Age and pregnancy restrictions are set per operator, so check the specific listing for other tours before booking a younger or pregnant rider.
No, most cycling tours include bike and helmet hire in the price. The Gourmet Food and Wine Cycling Tour near Beechworth is the exception: bikes can be hired for an extra fee, or you can bring your own for free. Check the inclusions on each listing before you book.
Cycling tours run anywhere from two hours to a full day. The Adelaide E-Bike Full Day Hire gives you from 9am to 3.30 pm to explore the River Torrens and Glenelg at your own pace on an e-bike, with no guide or set route required. Shorter formats in Manly and Kangaroo Island run closer to two hours.
A guided tour has someone leading the route and setting the pace, usually with food or wine stops built in. A self-guided tour hands you a map and a return time and lets you ride it your own way. The Self Guided Point Nepean Bike Ride covers Point Nepean National Park with verbal instructions and a downloadable map, no leader required.
Some rail trail and e-bike tours set a weight limit for safety. The Camperdown Rail Trail Bike or E-Bike Ride with Hamper sets a maximum of 120 kilograms and covers around 40 kilometres from Timboon to Camperdown. Weight limits vary by operator, so check the specific listing if this applies to you.
If two wheels is not quite right, a walking tour covers similar ground on foot through Bushwalking and Hiking Tours. For a different pace on the water, Kayaking and Canoeing puts you on a river or bay instead of a bike seat. Wine country works just as well without pedalling, through Wine Tasting and Winery Tours. Or trade the bike for a self-balancing ride with Segway Tours, an easier stand-up option at a similarly self-guided pace.
