Just south of Murwillumbah in New South Wales, the Northern Rivers Rail Trail offers an immersive outdoor escape combining natural beauty, local craft, and adventurous exploration. This 7-hour experience invites you to traverse lush hinterland landscapes and tropical rainforest corridors atop a premium e-bike, with unique stops and stories along the way.

The adventure begins with a luxury van transfer from the Gold Coast, Byron Bay, or Tweed Coast regions, conveniently catering to visitors staying within a 15km radius. Upon arrival in Murwillumbah, guests embark on a self-guided e-bike ride along the historic Northern Rivers Rail Trail. This route is recognized as one of Australia’s premier cycling paths and features a standout highlight: the 524-meter long Burringbar Range Tunnel. Inside the cool, dark tunnel, you may spot naturally glowing glow worms and hear the flutter of elusive microbats, adding an enchanting dimension to the ride.

Weaving through rainforest and open countryside, the trail showcases the area’s distinctive flora and fauna, including towering ancient trees and vibrant birdlife. The relatively gentle terrain combined with the motor-assisted e-bike makes this route accessible yet invigorating for a range of fitness levels.

Midway through your journey, you’ll visit Husk Farm Distillery, a standout local producer championing sustainable, farm-to-bottle spirits. Here, you’ll receive an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour revealing the craft process and philosophy behind Husk’s renowned gin, vodka, and rum. Complementing the tour is a welcome drink and seven guided spirit tastings, highlighting the flavors of the Northern Rivers region.

The experience culminates with a delightful three-course lunch at the Planter’s Kitchen, where seasonal dishes reflect the surrounding fertile land, paired with panoramic views of the iconic Mount Wollumbin (also known as Mount Warning). This combination of outdoor activity and culinary indulgence makes the tour a uniquely balanced day trip.

Northern Rivers Rail Trail E-Bike Ride & Husk Farm Distillery Lunch & Tour stands apart as a distinctive outdoor excursion in the Tweed Valley, intertwining environmental appreciation with cultural and culinary richness. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a well-curated taste of this part of Australia, this experience offers a seamless blend of nature, movement, and flavor all in one day.

Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or simply looking for a scenic e-bike tour coupled with a memorable local food and drink experience, this journey promises to be a highlight of your visit to the Northern Rivers region.
