Why backpackers love it

It’s a good option if you’re short on time and want to see part of the island in a more fun way than just walking around. The training makes it approachable for first-timers, and having commentary through the headset means you can actually hear the guide while moving. At $98, it sits more in the treat-yourself category than the ultra-budget end, but it does pack in guided sightseeing, gear and a different way to get around.

What to expect

Before setting off, you’ll get rider training and an assessment, along with all required safety equipment. Once everyone is comfortable, you’ll head out with a guide and use personal radio communication to hear commentary as you ride. The tour explores Thomson Bay and the Settlement area, with time to take in coastal views, natural surroundings and the historic side of the island. You’ll need to arrive 15 minutes early, and if you’re using public transport, it’s worth allowing extra time around schedules.
