We had a great experience of easy riding through a combination of great countryside and some excellent history of the railway in the region. Geoff our guide was excellent - knowledgeable, interesting and great company.

We had a fantastic morning doing the beach loop ride. We had a standard bike and our daughter went with Geoff on an e-bike. Our two guides/hosts Geoff and Cripp were so knowledgeable, friendly and safety conscious. The scenery was spectacular and this fun adventure was so well organised.

Really beautiful track and very accessible activity. We did the Beach Loop Track. Going through the tunnel was cool. Views for our packed lunch were stunning.
