Australian Cycle Tours – Hunter Valley

Australian Cycle Tours specialise in high quality self guided and guided cycling experiences in a selection of the most beautiful regions in Australia, with affordable NSW tours exploring the Hunter Valley, Central West, South Coast, and beyond. They are powered by World Expeditions, Australia’s first adventure travel company.

Quiet country roads, picturesque vineyards, some of Australia’s best food and wine – the Hunter Valley is one of the best places in New South Wales, if not Australia, to explore by bike.

As you cycle from cellar door to cellar door you’ll soon appreciate the many benefits of a self-guided cycling tour in the Hunter Valley as you set your own agenda to discover the many wineries, galleries and eateries that have made this popular weekend escape for Sydney-siders so famous.

Crisscrossing the region are quiet lanes offering perfect conditions for cyclists to explore the many pleasures of the vineyards, antique shops, galleries and towns set amid the rolling hills.

Less than two hours drive north of Sydney, it’s also the ideal short getaway destination to escape the pace of urban living to retreat to the slow lifestyle of the Hunter that will truly recharge the batteries.

You don’t have to be a keen cyclist to join one of their Australian cycling trips. You just need a sense of adventure and a love of the outdoors.
