Bike & Hike Whitsunday operates from Shute Harbour, Queensland, offering guided mountain biking experiences across mainland and island trails in the Whitsunday region.
The business runs two primary guided tours: the Ancient Rainforest Trail and the South Molle Island Experience. The Ancient Rainforest Trail is a four-hour trip through the ancient tropical rainforest of Conway National Park, featuring approximately 2–2.5 hours of riding on top-of-the-line electric mountain bikes and guided interpretation of local landscapes and wildlife. The South Molle Island Experience is a five-hour mountain biking tour on the only trail within Whitsunday Islands National Park, combining coastal views, cultural sites, and native fauna sightings.
All tours depart from the Shute Harbour meeting point, giving direct access to mainland trailheads and island launches. Guides lead every outing, provide safety briefings, route knowledge, and contextual information about flora, fauna, and cultural heritage. Equipment supplied includes electric mountain bikes specified for mixed terrain; participants receive pre-ride instructions and safety guidance at booking and before departure.
Featured on The Adventure Collective, Bike & Hike Whitsunday is presented to travelers seeking accessible, guided outdoor activities in the Whitsundays. The focus on guided e-bike tours and small-group formats helps accommodate riders with varying fitness levels while prioritizing safety and local interpretation. Booking details, departure times, and specific route notes are available through The Adventure Collective listing and the Shute Harbour meeting location.
