Or choose your own two-wheeled adventure from the many gravel roads and 4WD trails in the region, punctuated by a stop at one of the beautiful swimming holes and waterfalls.
When you’re ready to get off the bike, the Cassowary Coast’s other outdoors activities, attractions and indulgences, plus its sensational cuisine and amazing accommodation, will keep you entertained and pampered.
