Description

Please note: Margaret River Adventure Co. run multiple tours and are a small family business. Weather changes at different times of the year, and start times could change from what you have booked. Start times vary for the Fatbike adventure, but they like to get into the forest before it gets too hot in summer, at 8:00am, or if that time slot isn't available due to another activity taking the timeslot, it will be at 2:00pm.

Arriving in the beautiful Boranup forest site or a coastal site, the tour will start off by getting to know your Fatbike. It's similar to a normal mountain bike but with oversized tyres. You will have a safety demonstration at the meeting point under towering Karri trees, and then get on your way with a 14km return ride through the forest or coast, depending on your desired location. Please allow 3 hours of moderate riding on undulating sand and gravel terrain.

We glide through a trail, listen with our eyes and watch with our ears for animals that frequent the area. There is always a chance we will see native species of animals as we can sneak up on them with the Fat Bike's silent approach.

In the distance, the Indian Ocean comes into view. This is where the oversized tyres come into their own, on the soft sand track, until we hit limestone again. Getting closer to the coast, the amazing granite formations of Cape Freycinet appear at this wild and rugged part of the southwest coastline. We will hop off the bikes and explore the coast.

Additional Information

Start: W23W+6P, Boranup WA 6286, Australia
Fat bikes provide three features in hearty proportions: traction, suspension, and flotation. Equipped with obese tyres, their fat bikes allow unprecedented amounts of flotation on sand and forest trails. Riding a fat bike allows you to see more of the spectacular coastline and forest of the Margaret River region up close and personal. They use high-quality Specialised Fatboys as their bike of choice for their lightness, quality components, and proven off-road ability. They have special permission from the Department of Parks and Wildlife to ride their bikes in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. What You Need to Bring You'll need clothing you feel comfortable riding in, trainers or enclosed shoes. What Else? This Fat Mountain Bike Tour is a 2 hr activity. Allow 2.5 hours. You'll need to be at least 140cm tall to ride one of our bikes! Tours depart most days at 8.30am in summer to beat the heat. The rest of the year is flexible. You need enclosed footwear, and wear something comfortable to ride in (Lycra optional!). We'll provide bikes, water, bike helmets and adventure!
