Cycle the Murray River’s edge by e-bike on a 90‑minute guided loop from Murray Esplanade, passing historic wharves, red gums and paddle steamers while a local guide points out river history and wildlife.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto Murray Esplanade with the river already setting the tempo — paddle steamers sighing at the wharf while the current pulls a scatter of black swans downstream. The guide fits your helmet, hands you an e-bike, and points the group toward the open ribbon of path that threads the historic Port of Echuca and the sheltered bends of the Murray and Campaspe rivers.

Hydrate before you go
Bring a filled 500–750ml water bottle — shade is limited on riverside sections and e-bikes encourage covering more ground.
Helmet fit matters
Adjust the provided helmet so it sits level and snug; guides will check fit before departure.
Watch for shared-use traffic
Stay to the left on paths, signal when passing pedestrians or other cyclists, and slow on blind corners.
Protect against sun and wind
Bring a light long-sleeve or sun shirt and sunscreen — reflections off the river intensify sun exposure.
