A stunning coastal getaway
The New South Wales south coast is famous for raw, uncrowded beaches, whale watching and quaint country towns. Explore this coastal gem using the scenic cycling paths that follow the coastline, whilst having all the logistics looked after for you.
This cycling tour is an easy self-guided 4-day/3 night ride along the beautiful south coast of NSW. Within each reach of Sydney, starting in the beautiful beachside suburb of Thirroul and following the coast south to the dramatic headland and lighthouse in Kiama. The route is primarily flat and runs mainly along cycle paths, and there is plenty to see and do along the way.
The bike tour is within easy striking distance from Sydney and so makes for a perfect mini escape. We recommend using the train service to get to Thirroul, and save the trouble of driving and car parking.  We will meet you at the train station, collect your bags and get you ready for your scenic ride to Wollongong on day 1.
E-bikes are available on this cycling tour, and whilst mainly flat there are a couple of short hills on the last day of riding on the way into Kiama. Or you are welcome to BYO your bike or hire a regular hybrid style bike (similar to a hardtail mountain bike, easy and fun to ride).
This cycling tour will take you along the gorgeous shoreline of the southern Sydney beaches and around the scenic Lake Illawarra. The ride includes an optional visit to the Nan Tien Buddhist Temple, and passes the dramatic Bombo Headland Geological Site, both well worth exploring. There is also the small but delightful Puckey's Estate Nature Reserve, a gorgeous inlet teeming with birdlife.

Easy riding, great track from Thirroul and so many gorgeous beaches. Windang was such a surprise and the beach is stunning, recommend getting there early to enjoy this little paradise. So many cafes and restaurants along the way made it easy, and the accommodation was spot on. What a great trip!
