Operated by Better By Bike AU · South Murwillumbah, New South Wales
Stretching through the verdant reaches of northeastern New South Wales, the Northern Rivers Rail Trail offers one of Australia’s most captivating cycling experiences. Better By Bike AU delivers this with a perfect blend of adventure and comfort on their signature E-Bike Ride & Tropical Fruit World Tour. Starting from South Murwillumbah, riders are whisked in a luxury van to the trailhead at Murwillumbah, setting off on a 2-hour self-guided e-bike tour that threads through lush hinterland and subtropical rainforest. The route’s highlight is the 524-meter-long Burringbar Range Tunnel, where natural darkness reveals fluttering glow worms and the elusive microbats that inhabit this cool, damp passage—a rare natural spectacle uncommon in New South Wales.
Beyond the ride, the tour embraces the region’s rich agricultural heritage with a visit to Tropical Fruit World, a sprawling farm where exotic and local fruits burst with flavor. Guests settle in for a farm-to-table lunch at the on-site cafe, followed by a guided tractor tour and fruit tasting session that illuminates the diversity of tropical produce thriving in this fertile area. The market here also offers an array of farm-made products, providing a sensory extension of the day’s journey.
