Snowy River Cycling offers fabulous cycle tours through the mountains, forests and tiny communities of Far East Gippsland, Victoria , Australia, where the Snowy River carves a valley through the mountains before meeting the sea. Fully supported cycle tours from half day to six days, and self guided cycle tours along the East Gippsland Rail Trail are available.

Our Rail Trail Self Guided Tours let you explore this superb cycling route at a time and pace that suits you while our self guided Snowy River Discovery Rides are a perfect way to spend half or all day exploring the Snowy River and it's fertile floodplain around Orbost.

Our fully supported cycle tours allow you to get up-close and personal with this little known part of Australia in good company, and our friendly and knowledgeable local crew is never far away with fascinating information, great food, freshly brewed coffee and tea and a support vehicle whenever you need it. Bring your own bike, or we can provide you with a good quality mountain bike.

The Lakes and Rail Trail tour explores the East Gippsland Rail Trail and quiet tracks and trails running off from it, revealing quiet waterways forests and historic sites.

For the more adventurous riders, head up into the mountains on our Snowgums to Seaweed tour, our journey taking us from Australias alpine area throug rainforest and down to the sea.

Over the summer holidays, get out into the bush for a half or whole day on our fullly supported Summer Day Rides , and discover some truly magical places. Everything is provided for these tours - you just need comfortable clothing, a water bottle and your camera.

Ask us about organising a custom tour for your group or family.

panorama and flora

Stretch your muscles and raise a sweat; skim down a long mountain descent; twist and dip along forest tracks; glide through open country on smooth roads. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the bush: the sharp tang of eucalyptus, soft and strident calls of birds, tiny flowering plants, immense ancient forests and rushing rivers.

We look forward to sharing a cycle journey with you!

Sam's solar trike adventure around Australia.

On Monday March 11 2013,Sam Mitchell set off to travel around Australian on a solar / human powered trike. Sam has been a guide, mechanic, route consultant and general assistant in all things bike with Snowy River Cycling for the past 3 years.

His trike is home built of materials sourced largely from the local tip (solar cells, motor and tricky electrical bits are all new) and he plans to travel around Australia (anticlockwise), before starting a degree in Renewable Energy Engineering in 2014.
