The trike tour eastern panorama testimonial: “Our tour guide Craig took us around the eastern suburbs of Sydney. And we had a great time and would highly recommend and do again. ? Thanks.” Nicole and Rachel.

Mum organised the tour for herself and her daughter while they are in Sydney for a holiday.

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

Our trike rider Craig, picked our passengers up from their hotel in Darling Harbour. Firstly, they rode through the city to Mrs Macquarie’s Point, home of Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. From here there is a gorgeous view looking towards the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Mrs Macquarie’s Point is a peninsula which was named in 1810 after Elizabeth, Governor Macquarie’s wife. She ordered a seat to be chiselled into the rock from which she could view the harbour. Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, as it’s known, is still there today. It’s in the Domain but is effectively an extension of the Botanic Gardens.

the infamous Kings Cross

Riding past Finger Wharf and the iconic Harry’s Café De Wheels is always interesting. Harry’s Café de Wheels has been serving customers for over 80 years. They make delicious pies, hotdogs and more. It is in the inner eastern suburb of Woolloomooloo. This leads up into the infamous Kings Cross – home of the famous and huge Coca Cola sign. It is also home to nightclubs and ladies of the night though it is not nearly as raunchy as it was in the 1970s (apparently).

Watsons Bay and The Gap

Continuing on, they rode through the posh eastern suburbs of Rushcutters Bay,  Double Bay, Rose Bay and Watsons Bay. Here, they stopped at “The Gap” for photos. The view towards North Head and out to the South Pacific Ocean. Watsons Bay sits on the end of the South Head peninsula.

Of course, no tour or visit to Sydney, is complete without seeing the famous Bondi Beach. It’s probably the most famous beach in the world. The beach is seriously nice (but not our favourite) and we usually stop near the lifeguard station, made famous by the TV series “Bondi Rescue”. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia. Our passengers could hardly believe they were actually doing the trike tour eastern panorama, it was so much fun.

However, the 1.5 hours was almost up so Craig headed back into Sydney and dropped them at their hotel. In conclusion, the trike tour eastern panorama was a huge success. We love happy passengers!

Kalinda bought her partner Edward a Beach Beauty trike tours for his birthday. It was a beautiful clear winters day. They were staying in town but decided to make a day of it and caught a ferry to Manly. We sent a map and instructions of where to meet our trike.

3 hour exploration

Craig picked them up and they started on their 3 hour exploration of the northern beaches. Firstly, they rode through Manly and past the lovely Manly Beach.

After that, they followed the coast line – along famous Dee Why Beach, past Long Reef and Collaroy Beaches. On the Narrabeen Peninsula, there are great high views out to sea. We have seen whales from here, we always stop for a look if it’s the season but no guarantees.

Ku-ring-gai National Park

Have a look at Bilgola Beach and Avalon Beach as we ride past to Whale Beach, an elite area of Sydney. We continued on to Palm Beach to have a look at where the rich and famous live or visit for the Christmas holidays. An option we can include, is a stop for coffee or lunch there (not included in price) before returning via the Ku-ring-gai National Park.

There are plenty of stops for photos. Sydneysiders who think they have seen all of Sydney always see something new on this ride.

However, the 3 hours goes very quickly when you are having fun. So Craig had to turn around and head south. He dropped them back at Manly so they could continue celebrating Edward’s birthday. In conclusion, the Beach Beauty trike tours was a very interesting and fun ride – you can see by the passenger’s smiles. Lots of beautiful scenery, the wind in your face an the roar of the trike. What a great day!

The Harley 60th birthday tour was a present from some of her best friends. The friends live out in western NSW so they couldn’t be with her to celebrate. Riding on a Harley is one of Lyn’s favourite things to do, so her friends thought this would be the ideal present. We organised and emailed a Gift Voucher to her friends who emailed it to her. Lyn loved it and within the week had rung us to organise the Harley 60th birthday tour.

4 hours seems a long time but it goes so quickly

4 hours seems a long time but it goes so quickly. Especially in Sydney where there is so much to see! Our Harley rider Syl, picked her up from her daughter’s home in the western suburbs. He took her on the adventure of a lifetime!

iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly they rode onto the M4, a freeway which leads into Sydney city. It also leads onto the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, which looks so different from the back of a Harley. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It is a wonderful view without the roof and sides of a tin can (car) blocking it.

Continuing on, they rode along the main thoroughfare of Military Road. This leads to the Spit Bridge and crossing it is always fun. There are lovely views of Middle Harbour and hundreds of yachts. Riding further up the hill they rode into Seaforth and Clontarf. Their first stop was for a photo at Tania Park. The park is adjacent to Dobroyd Head which offers amazing views of Sydney, Middle and North Harbours. This view is always fresh and beautiful, one we never tire of.

Northern Beaches and Ku-ring-gai Chase NP

Next, they rode into Manly and to North Head which has lovely views across Sydney Harbour to the city. Back into Manly and along the coastline, they rode past Freshwater Beach, Curl Curl Beach and Dee Why Beach. They stopped for a quick stretch at Long Reef, where this photo was taken. Then it was back onto the Harley before riding a bit further north, past Mona Vale, Avalon Beaches and a few more. Coffee was calling so they had a break at Church Point and a caffeine hit before hopping back on the Harley and riding through the lovely Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to Terry Hills.

Now it felt like being back in civilisation. However, where did the 4 hours go? Time was just about up so they rode south, onto the M2 before Lyn was dropped back at her daughter’s place. In conclusion, the Harley 60th birthday tour was a huge success.

Kas had no particular reason to do the ride, she just want the Harley tour for fun.

Iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge

Our Harley rider Phil, picked Kaz up from Birkenhead Point Brand Outlet. She drove in with some family from the western suburbs. This is a good place to meet if you don’t want to drive into the city. The rest of the family went shopping while Kasz went on the Harley tour. We always send a map showing where to meet if it isn’t obvious. Firstly, they rode over the flyover and onto the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

Kirribilli

Next, after riding across the Harbour Bridge they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting.
The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

They continued riding on through North Sydney and Crows Nest before joining River Road. It is a fun road to ride on. River Road leads to Burns Bay Road which, in turn, leads to another bridge but not one of the main three.

Fig Tree Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge, Gladesville Bridge

It is the Fig Tree Bridge which opened in 1963 and spans the Lane Cove River. After that bridge, they continued on and crossed the second of the bridges Tarban Creek Bridge. This spans Tarban Creek, likewise, it has nice views east to the Harbour Bridge. Then they got to bridge #2 of the main 3 Bridges, the Gladesville Bridge. It has wonderful views along Parramatta River towards the Harbour Bridge and the city.

This bridge is on the main arterial thoroughfare of Victoria Road. They travelled along for a short while before turning off into the inner west suburb of Drummoyne. Following the shoreline of Iron Cove, which is part of the Parramatta River, they saw some lovely water views. It is part of the 7 km long Bay Run.

ANZAC Bridge

Priscilla’s favourite bridge is the ANZAC Bridge. We agree it is incredible, a work of art and design. It is main bridge #3. Similarly, it is also great to see without a roof over your head inhibiting the view.

Most noteworthy, the stay cable design concept development and final design for the new bridge were carried out by the Roads & Traffic Authority of NSW. Finally, the bridge was opened to traffic on 3 December 1995 as the Glebe Island Bridge.

The bridge was given its current name on Remembrance Day in 1998 to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I.

Usually by now the time is up but there is less traffic on the roads. This is due to COVID 19 with the restrictions and many people working from home. So, they had enough time to do a short ride into the city.

However, time was nearly up so Phil dropped her back at Kings Street Wharf, Darling Harbour. Kas thought the Harley tour for fun was fantastic, a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about. Now she wants to buy a motorbike!

Before all the shutdowns came along, we had some Sydneysiders wanting to do a NorthernBeaches exploration by trike. Why not! They had a four hours spare and what better way to fill in the time? What better way is there to see Sydney than on the back of a trike! Craig picked the passengers up from in the CBD.

Iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode through the city and over the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

Kirribilli

Next, after riding across the Harbour Bridge they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia.

After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

lower North Shore suburbs

Continuing north east, they rode through Cremorne, Mosman and down past the Taronga Zoo to Bradleys Head. Make sure you look for the koalas eating and sleeping in the gum trees.

Bradleys Head and Balmoral Beach

Similarly, Bradleys Head has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the CBD. Continuing on, they rode past the lovely posh Balmoral Beach. Everyone who comes here loves it!

The Northern Beaches

Next, they rode through the back streets before crossing the Spit Bridge, this is always fun. The lovely views of Middle Harbour and hundreds of yachts are hard to forget. Riding further up the hill they rode into the northern beach suburbs of Seaforth and Clontarf. Continuing on, they rode through Freshwater Beach, Curl Curl and Dee Why. All are such lovely beaches.

After that, they rode north to Newport Beach where they crossed over and followed Pittwater via Bilgola Plateau and Clareville. Then it was up to Avalon where they stopped at North Avalon Beach. So far, the NorthernBeaches exploration by trike tour was a success. However, the four hours was almost up so they rode back to the Sydney CBD via McCarrs Creek Road, Terry Hills and Wakehurst Parkway. 

Craig dropped them off at the Rocks so they could continue wandering. In conclusion, the NorthernBeaches exploration by trike tour was a success.
