Cape York Motorcycle Adventures featured in Universal Traveller

What started as two people with a love for motorcycles and a wild piece of Far North Queensland has grown into something much bigger, and now, it’s getting recognised on the world stage. We’re proud to share that Cape York Motorcycle Adventures (CYMCA) has been featured in Universal Traveller, in a beautifully written piece that dives into the heart and history of our journey.

But if you’re wondering how dirt, sweat, and river crossings fit into the same sentence as “luxury”, let us explain.

🏍️ What Luxury Looks Like on Two Wheels

Let’s be real, we don’t do silver service. There are no marble floors, no butlers, and no spas waiting for you at the end of the trail.
But we do offer something you won’t find in a five-star hotel:

6 days of raw, immersive adventure
Hundreds of kilometers of untouched terrain
Moments that remind you how it feels to be fully alive

Out here, luxury isn’t about fluff — it’s about freedom. It’s the crunch of red dirt under your boots. The sudden calm of no phone notifications, the crackle of a campfire, the deep exhale when you reach the Tip of Australia and realise, you actually made it.

🌿 A Ride with Meaning

In our Universal Traveller feature, co-founder Renae Kunda shares not just our business story, but the heart behind it, the highs, the hurdles, and the wild ride that started with a simple idea:

“What if we could share this place with people in the most thrilling, respectful, and unforgettable way possible?”

That idea became the first eco-certified dirt bike tour in the world back in 2006.
Since then, we’ve stayed true to the belief that adventure and sustainability can go hand in hand. We ride lightly, we tread respectfully, and we celebrate the raw beauty of the Cape, every single day.

The Real Reward? The People.

We’ve had pro riders and complete first-timers. People from every corner of the world, all with one thing in common, the need to escape the everyday and reconnect with something real.

They arrive as strangers.

They leave dusty, grinning, and somehow… different.

One rider once told us, “This is the most mentally relaxing experience I’ve ever had — because you can’t think about anything else but what’s right in front of you.”

That’s the magic of it. You’re present. You’re engaged. You’re not just riding, you’re living.

Whether you’re already booked for your next ride or still dreaming about it, the article, where Cape York Motorcycle Adventures has been featured in Universal Traveller, offers a deeper look at the “why” behind the ride.
