Make your way to Thirroul (drive or train) and meet with a local representative for luggage collection and bike handover. Then, hop on your bikes and ride the coastal bike path to Wollongong for an easy intro day! The overnight at seaside Novotel North Beach in Wollongong this evening will make for a great start to the tour.
Savour the ocean scenery, spot whales and dolphins, visit the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere, and ride the shores of Illawarra Lake on this fantastic day of cycling! Following this thrilling day on bike, you’ll retire for the evening at a seaside cabin in Windang.
Our cliffside ride to Kiama does go up and down some hills, but well worth the small effort for the sublime views. Swim, enjoy a picnic with fish and chips and breathe in the fresh ocean air. Enjoy your overnight at a 4 star hotel in Kiama for the final night of the tour.
Wander around lovely Kiama this morning and soak up the last of the ocean breeze. Arrangements will be made to collect your hired bikes. Kiama Station is close by for your return journey (ask about private transfers if preferred). It is about 1 hr back to Thirroul or 2 hrs back to Sydney. Farewell!
