THE GOLD COAST AND SUNSHINE COAST
Tour Overview
When people think of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast golden beaches, resorts, theme parks and Hasting Street, Noosa automatically come to mind. If you don't know a local you will most likely never experience the amazing riding each region has to offer.
When you combine the lush, scenic hinterland and quiet rolling valleys with warm, sunny days and an abundance of seaside coffee shops, SE Queensland is a true cycling mecca most all year round. The added beauty of this trip is that once you've sampled all the Gold Coast has to offer you will ride/transfer to our next amazing accommodation venue on the Sunny Coast for another 7 days of sun, warmth, great coffee and amazing rides.
Our 14 day itinerary showcases everything the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast have to offer with scenic rides that will have you back by lunchtime most days so you can enjoy the sandy beaches and surf, some shopping and relaxing in the cafes that all the locals frequent. You may even run into some cycling royalty at his cafe in Miami on a coffee ride one morning....
This tour can be broken into 2 x 7 day itineraries with the Gold Coast sector starting and finishing at Coolangatta Airport and the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane Airport (alternative arrangements can be made on request).
