The Tour

The 5 Day Gold Rush Adventure ride starts in Cairns with a pick up from Cairns City based accommodation. Today you will ride through the old logging trails of Black Mountain before having lunch at Cooktown crossing. From there make your way to the Palmer River Goldfields for your first night of bush camping.

Day two sees you arrive into the ghost town of Maytown before making your way on to the old Cobb & Co coach trail to Laura, where you will spend your second night camping in the company of a million stars!

On the third day, leave Laura and head into Lakefield National Park, riding through Battle Camp and then on to Cooktown for your last night of bush camping.

Start your fourth day with a ride up to Cooktown lookout for some beautiful photo opportunities. Explore the many trails and have lunch by the sea at Archer Point! Dinner and overnight accommodation for your final night is at the famous Lion’s Den Hotel. Here you can enjoy a cold beer and hot showers.

Your final day (day 5) sees you take the CREB and Zig Zag tracks plus many more, stopping at some beautiful waterfalls before crossing the mighty Daintree River as you make your way back to Cairns.
