About this activity

wE offer the best way to discover the legendary eastern beaches of Sydney. On two electric wheels with our self guided audio tour! Make sure to bring your swimmers with you.

Our self guided tour gives you clear and safe directions for every step on the tour so you can relax, ride and listen. The tour follows the harbour all the way to Camp Cove in the East, then heads south to Bondi Beach and other sensational beaches. You will then ride west back towards the city via Centennial Park.

The tours suit either a single day or multi-day adventure based on a loop format. You can join the tour at any point in the loop, you just need to follow the directions in a clockwise direction.

All you need are your headphones and a rented Lime ebike. You can visit points of interest at your own choosing and swap ebikes any time you like. You are not locked into a set time frame and will cover vastly more ground on our tour than with any other tour company.
