From Country Roads to Downhill Thrills

"I don’t have a Bucket list, but I do have a Bike-It list"

Whether you're looking for adrenalin-pumping downhill, flowing single-track, endurance or tranquil country road riding, Active Escapes has a tour for you. Our cycling holidays range from fully-supported and professionally guided (with all accommodation, meals and vehicle support provided), to more 'self-guided' options where we’ll provide detailed route information and take care of trip logistics such as accommodation bookings, airport and end-point vehicle transfers.

Lower Wild Coast Cycle Adventure

From cliff-top to sandy bay

There's no better way to appreciate the diversity of this wild coastline than from the vantage of your saddle, as you wind your way from cliff-top to sandy bay, across grassy plateau and up forested tracks, passing friendly villages along the way. Following the popular route of the Imana Wild Ride, our supported tours offer more days to do the distance, making it as much a holiday with friends as an Epic MTB adventure.
