Additional Arrival Information
We suggest that you arrive at least two days prior to the trip start, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays. We recommend that you fly into Adelaide (ADL) and then take a taxi to the hotel.
The Adelaide Airport is approximately 30-minutes by car to the Manna Hotel by Haus. The Taxi drop off for Adelaide Airport is located on Atura Circuit, between the terminal and the Atura Hotel. There is direct entry to the terminal via the northern doors which will bring you into level 1. From here you will find the escalators and lifts to level 2 on your right-hand side which will take you up to check in, security and departures.
When departing from the airport, there is a designated taxi rank located to the left (western side) of the pedestrian plaza as you walk out of the terminal.
Your guides will meet you at The Manna by Haus (+08 8388 1000). Upon meeting your guides and getting checked into the hotel, come to the bike room ready to ride, and we will ensure you have a great fit for your new bike for the week and give you a few pointers before you head off on a self-guided warm-up ride.
If you will be late for the meeting time or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides. If you cannot reach them, please call our hotel, The Manna by Haus (+08 8388 1000), and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details. Please have your first-day cycling clothes and riding gear easily accessible, separate from your luggage.
Additional Departure Information
You will say farewell to your guides at 12:00 PM at The Manna by Haus. Please be sure to secure transportation to your departure airport prior to the last day of the trip.
The use of your Trek Travel bike ends at 11:30 AM on the day of departure, and in some cases, may be needed for another guest arriving that day. Extensions may be available upon request but cannot be guaranteed before your trip begins.
