The tour is 3 days long with 2 days of cycling.

You'll stay in a lovely quaint cottage for the duration of the tour and spend 2 days taking day trips on the East Gippsland Rail Trail. The first day of cycling (day 2) sees you taking a loop ride of approximately 40km (24.8mi) before arriving back at the cottage. The second day of cycling (day 3) takes you to Lakes Entrance via the Discovery trail. The tour operator will then transfer you back to the cottage at the end of the day to collect your belongings, drop off the bikes and head on your way.

This waiver is a legally binding document in which you accept the inherent risks associated with cycling. Without the waiver, common law in Victoria says that you are entitled to sue if someone sells you goods or services which cause you to die or sustain injury. Any "adventure" activity carries an inherent risk due to the nature of the activity. Many tourism businesses in Victoria stopped operating until a law was passed in which participants can be asked to set aside this specific right. It is now a common requirement of adventure activity to require participants to sign this or a similar waiver, with most insurance companies requiring that tour operators do so!

It does not remove your rights if there has been negligence on the part of the operator, causing you to suffer injury or death.

Rider safety is of paramount importance to the tour operator. They have a comprehensive Risk Management Plan to do everything possible to ensure a safe and enjoyable tour for all riders.

Gippsland receives typical Victorian weather which can include long stable periods as well as warm to hot northwesterly systems followed by cold and sometimes wet southwesterly winds. At any time of year, a wide variety of weather conditions can be experienced over the space of a few days. As a general rule, the coastal areas of East Gippsland have milder weather than Melbourne: a degree or two warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Beer tasting at the Bullant Brewery is included in the tour (if you purchase a meal) but note that the brewery open hours are Weds –Sun, closing at 5 pm except on Friday and Saturday nights when open until late.

Group discounts are possible for groups of 4 or more so please contact us if you are interested.

The Covid 19 pandemic has put an end to all sorts of travel for the time being. We are already putting in place our plans for spring 2020, and look forward to seeing many many people come and enjoy our magnificent corner of the world once restrictions are lifted. East Gippsland turns out to be a pretty great place to have an enforced break. Stay safe and well everyone, and enjoy planning your next trip.
