Things to See & Do
Mountain Bike and Kayak Expedition is all about discovering the local ecology, incredible wilderness and each other.
With Big Stick Adventures the adventure starts with a guided bike ride through countryside that ranges from dense bush land to cliff top ocean views; from incredible single track action to fast, long down hill descents that really gets the heart rate going.
Wildlife abounds as guests see kangaroos; echidnas; koalas; native bird life and more in their natural habitat.
After our final downhill descent we will change to kayaks for a calm paddle.
It's a change of pace as we paddle from the top of the river or through calm harbour waters to our expedition conclusion.
Paddle as hard and fast as you like or simply relax and enjoy the scenery. The tranquil nature of the kayaks allows us to get up close and personal with mother nature.
This is an exciting, action packed expedition covering several peaks, valleys, stunning ocean views and an unspoilt wilderness.
Both adventures are fully guided with tuition and advice provided when and where required plus all equipment and safety gear.
