Back Country Cycling - Adventure Tours For Adventurous People:

Cycling tours - We organise and run a range of fully supported tours in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and New Zealand - offering the best recreational cycling trails in the world.

All Bushranger Bikes rides, cycling activities and tours are primarily off-road (or away from busy roads) and fall into a category that we call 'Back Country Tours'.  Rail Trails and Wine & Food Trails are our speciality and our trips aren't just about cycling - we provide the full holiday experience that highlights everything that our destinations have to offer.

The tour packages that Bushranger put together cater for small groups (6 to 8 people) and are suitable for all adventurous recreational cyclists. They offer an unforgettable adventure experience that will take you to the best scenery, wrap you in seasonal colour, acquaint you with local history, leave you breathless with mountains, glaciers, beautiful lakes, rivers and fiords, and have you dreaming about remote rail trails and fantastic food and wine. 

The Bushranger Bikes tour trademark is a mix of adventure, achievable challenges, heaps of fun, personalised service and a focus on safety and good tour management.  We use quality accommodation - places that are different, historic, remote or boutique. 

 More information on our tours can be found on the Calendar page, Tour page or check out two of our Feature Tours below.
