Leading the Way in Sustainable Adventure Tourism Since 2006

Cape York Motorcycle Adventures is proud to be Australia’s first and longest-running eco-certified motorcycle tourism operator, holding continuous Eco-Certification since 2006. Long before sustainability became an industry trend, Roy and Renae built CYMCA on a deep respect for Country, culture, and the environment, a commitment that still guides every tour we run.

With 34 years of operational experience, long-standing relationships across Cape York, and strict stewardship practices, we’re recognised as industry leaders in responsible, low-impact adventure travel. This legacy sets us apart; we are the only operator with nearly two decades of verified eco-leadership.

Tourism Emissions Reduction Commitment

We take our environmental responsibilities seriously and continually refine our operations to reduce emissions across our fleet, logistics, support vehicles, and on-tour practices.

Our emissions-reduction initiatives include:

investing in continual upgrades to more fuel-efficient motorcycles and support vehicles
detailed route planning to minimise unnecessary kilometres
strict maintenance schedules to ensure optimal performance
training guides in low-impact riding techniques and responsible waste management
limiting group sizes to reduce environmental disturbance
ongoing monitoring to reduce our operational footprint each season

These practices are already working effectively, so we’re keeping the systems that deliver results while continuing to refine and improve wherever possible.
