Without doubt, every element of the week was terrific, but it’s the people that make the experience. The level of care, commitment and the professional skills provided by Pavel and Alvaro made this week all that it was—and that is high praise given the extraordinary beauty of the setting, the adventure and challenge of the rides, the food and amenities provided, and everything that went into the week.

Trip Inclusions

Additional Details

Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Ride Camp is a mix of a guided and self-guided tour, focused on building base miles for your cycling season or for a big event. As a result, these trips concentrate on the physical dimension and not on the sightseeing incorporated into our other vacations. We also assume that guests are more self-sufficient than our “all-inclusive” style trips.
  • We do our best to avoid busy roadways as much as possible, however, urban riding and sections of busy roads are unavoidable for some segments of your rides.
  • Please be aware that Visa and Mastercard are accepted everywhere but American Express only in some locations. Some banks can also limit cash withdrawal to $500-1000 AUD.
  • Look right and keep left! In Australia, you cycle on the left side of the road along with traffic. Extra attention and caution are required as you ride, cross intersections, and enter traffic circles if this is the opposite side of the road that you are accustomed to.
