There are a few ways to see immense, grand Uluru, or Ayers Rock. Guided tours and walks have their strengths, but bike rides make it a pleasure to travel around the rock’s 9-mile (15 kilometers) path on a self-guided tour. This 3-hour bike rental leaves you plenty of time travel at your own pace and make stops when you’d like. Plus, opt for pickup and drop-off within the Ayer’s Rock Resort.

The outback near Alice Springs has some of the best bike trails in Australia, but newcomers can find it challenging to find and navigate them. This tour makes it easier by traveling with a guide, and lets bikers choose between a day or nighttime mountain ride and a gentler ride through a national park. Plus, some trips make planned stops at local cafes and art galleries showcasing indigenous artists.

My partner and I chose the tour as an off train excursion whilst travelling on the Ghan. We both thoroughly enjoyed not only the sites of Alice Springs but also the guide who was very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable of the area and it's history.

Very easy set up, catering for all sizes and ages. Friendly staff with good advice. Bikes were of good quality and certainly good enough for our ride to Simpsons pass.
