Discover the Sunshine Coast where behind the most picturesque beaches you’ll find.
Discover the Sunshine Coast where behind the most picturesque beaches you’ll find relaxing bars, trendy cafes and boutique shopping outlets. However, this is where many travellers will jostle for position on a weekend as it can easily become crowded. The best way to discover the Sunshine Coast is on a bicycle! Meet for a morning coffee before the crowds arrive and fuel up for your daily cycling adventure. Finish the day relaxing by the beaches.
We’ve plotted some unique cycling routes containing some popular cycling segments but also backroads that make for the most memorable days that you’ll ever have on the bike. Our rides finish early afternoon to give you time to relax and take in the atmosphere of the popular and hidden establishments. Take a surfboard out for the afternoon for an ideal way to recover from your ride. Walk through the Noosa National Park headland and spot a koala, turtle or dolphin. Enjoy an evening stroll to grab that post dinner ice cream before retiring for the night with the sounds and smells of waves lapping the shoreline.
Our Sunshine Coast adventure is fully supported by our professional team of ride guides, 100% vehicle support and vast local knowledge. Take the hassle out of travelling with a bike.

Our guides have coaching and racing experience and can give you tips along the way to improve your cycling, such as how to generate more power, how to recover faster, how to ride further, how to climb better, how to descend better, improving your nutrition on and off the bike. If you’re not after the tips, then they’re also willing to cruise or put the hammer down! It is your choice, and our guides will help you to gain the most enjoyment from riding a bike.
