About this activity

Discover the Sunshine Coast hinterland the way it's meant to be explored, by e-Bike, with a knowledgeable local guide and no rush at all. This small-group tour glides through Maleny's rolling dairy country to Obi Obi Creek, wild platypus habitat, and the rainforest canopy at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, with sweeping Glass House Mountains views along the way. Our solar-charged e-Bikes make the hills effortless, and ecoTekk's door-to-door delivery means your adventure starts the moment we arrive, no driving and no parking required. Pause for a coffee or tea with a view, breathe in the eucalypt air, and leave with a genuine connection to this remarkable corner of Queensland.

Itinerary

Stop 1

20 min

Your ecoTekk guide meets you at the eastern car park near the tennis courts for a 20-minute safety briefing and e-Bike fitting before you set off. The showgrounds sit on Obi Obi Creek, the traditional lands of the Jinibara people, and host the historic Maleny Agricultural Show each year — a great spot to get a feel for this hinterland dairy town before you ride.
Obi Obi Boardwalk

15 min

Glide along the shaded path beside Obi Obi Creek and through Maleny Commons, where the rainforest canopy opens onto glimpses of the creek below. This gentle, mostly flat stretch is the perfect spot to settle into your e-Bike's pedal-assist and soak up the cool hinterland air before the climb ahead.
Maleny

10 min

Pull off the trail at a quiet platypus viewing platform overlooking Obi Obi Creek. Early morning and late afternoon give you the best chance of spotting one of these shy, elusive monotremes feeding in the shallows — keep your eyes on the water and your voice low, and your guide will point out the telltale ripples.
Maleny

10 min

Climb to a roadside lookout along Mountain View Road for sweeping views across the hinterland to the volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains — Tibrogargan, Beerwah, Coonowrin and their neighbours, sacred to the Jinibara and Gubbi Gubbi peoples. Your e-Bike's pedal-assist makes light work of the climb, so you arrive ready to take in the view rather than catch your breath.
Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve

20 min

Rest your legs and wander the boardwalk through 55 hectares of remnant subtropical rainforest, home to ancient strangler figs, brush turkeys and — if you're lucky — a shy koala dozing overhead. Finish with a well-earned coffee at the reserve's café, looking out over the Glass House Mountains from the hinterland's edge.
