Explore local rainforests and coastal habitats and discover the different environments, foods and medicines utilised from nature. Sample some seasonal bush tucker, collect shellfish and learn traditional Aboriginal hunting practices.

    Give back

    We know travel is better when you can give back as much as you get. That’s why we have designed our trips around contributing, supporting and participating in local projects and community initiatives that have a positive social and environmental impact.

     

    Each of our tours provide a unique way to get up close and personal with the destination and incorporate a fundraising target or donation into the travel costs, which enables travellers to connect, give back, and travel with purpose.

    Day 3: Trail riding and lagoon swimming
    After breakfast and some last minute checks of our bikes, we begin our ride towards the range along the Mt Milligan Highway.  As we take the hidden lagoons trail,  an easy fire trail, single track combination will lead to a stunning natural forest lagoon. We spend some time here to cool off in the water or sit back and enjoy the luscious surroundings. 

    Lunch is at the old Historic Mt Molloy Pub, this is one of the oldest in North Queensland established in the 1900’s. It's a great pit stop for travellers and locals, after a chat and a refreshment we make our way to a lake side camp for some light relaxing water activities.  Have a go on a stand-up paddle board or kayak or even a fun filled afternoon cruise around lake Tinaroo as an optional extra.  

    Accommodation: Cabins

    Meals: B,L,D

    Cycling distance: 15-20km (easy)



    Day 4: Rainforest ride to Cannabullen Falls
    We commence today early as we have a 75 km drive to the head of the trail way near Ravenshoe which will take us up to the Cardwell Range. We ride over 26 km of thick rainforest single track, where we come upon Cannabullen Falls, an epic sheer drop crashing into a crater of deepest blue. These breathtaking views are known to last a lifetime, enjoy the moment, soak up the views and prepare for the final ascent for the afternoon before we arrive back at the cabins for a well-deserved refreshment and a sizzling BBQ around the campfire. Relax and swim in the beautiful Lake Tinaroo or attempt some of the water activities you did not get to the day before!

    Accommodation: Cabins

    Meals: B,L,D

    Cycling distance: 26 km (Moderate)



    Day 5: Biking through the Herberton Range
    After breakfast and maybe an early morning swim, we start our ride in the historic village of Herberton. This morning’s ride takes us  along the Herberton Range’s lower slopes and flats, dipping into gullies and creeks and rising to the ridgelines of the surrounding hills via Mt Baldy. The trails meander through an open forest of gums, bloodwoods, mahogany’s, she-oaks and cycads before entering the amazing purpose-built Atherton Mountain Bike Park. 

    We head back to camp for a scrumptious dinner and a well earned swim after a fun filled day of adventure!

    Accommodation: Cabins

    Meals: B,L,D

    Cycling distance: 30km (difficult- challenging)

    Day 6: Bump track – Port Douglas – departure day
    On our final day of cycling we head back to Port Douglas via the Bump track. Originally an access track for First Nations people, this became a vital link between the coast and hinterland for settlers and miners. This repurposed hiking and biking trail traverses through dense rainforest and over crystal-clear mountain streams, offering spectacular views of the coast below. The 35km ride back to Port Douglas with the 2km downhill will bring sheer delight to all mountain bikers, before finishing up on 4 Mile Beach, where we enjoy a rare opportunity to ride on one of Australia’s most pristine beaches before we have a final lunch and refreshments. 

    This afternoon you will be transferred to the airport for your onward flight. For those of you who are staying on, enjoy all that North Queensland has to offer!
