6-Day Fish'N'Ride Tour Package: Join The Perfect Combo of Riding and Fishing

This unforgettable adventure combines the thrill of off-road motorcycling with the laid-back joy of ocean and estuary fishing. Spend four epic days riding through Cape York’s spectacular landscapes: from rainforest trails and sandy tracks to river crossings and open savannah, before swapping two wheels for a boat and two full days of fishing in some of Far North Queensland’s most remote and pristine waters.
Between the rides, you’ll enjoy delicious meals including freshly barbecued seafood straight from the ocean, and evenings spent around a roaring campfire with cold beers and good mates. It’s the perfect way to experience both sides of the Cape: the adventure and the serenity.

Departs on Sundays at 8.30 am and you will ride back into Cairns around 3.30 pm on Friday

An approx. 900km (560 miles) of pure adventure, exploration, and Cape York magic.
