Snowy River Adventure Cycle

This five day/four night cycle tour encircles the little known Victorian reach of the Snowy River as it carves through the high country before spilling onto it's floodplain and out to sea. If you are up for an adventurous and moderately challenging ride through the most spectacular scenery in Victoria that no one has heard of, read on!

Starting and finishing in Orbost on the rivers' floodplain just kilometres from the sea, this cycle tour takes in the limestone cave country around Buchan, high country cattle stations, the awe inspiring 1000 metre deep Snowy River Valley, it's remote river crossing at McKillops Bridge, the craggy remote Deddick River valley and the deep green forests bordering the Errinundra Plateau.

Cycling touring in this remote location means you need to be self sufficient - or have great support. We offer tour packages with three different levels of support to make it easy for you to get out and enjoy this fabulous landscape. Join one of our scheduled self guide trips, or organise a bunch of friends and let us organise a trip at a time to suit you.

The Snowy River Adventure Cycle uses a mix of sealed and unsealed roads which have light traffic levels. As well as the 'Main Route', most days there is also an optional alternate 'offroad' route.

The Main Route uses either sealed or all weather two wheel drive gravel roads. Conditions on these roads can vary with major weather events so you need to be prepared for the unpredictable!

By "light traffic" we mean that on a typical day you can expect between 5 and 20 vehicles to pass you in total for the whole day.

Where available, the alternate 'off road' gravel route uses forestry roads which vary from dry weather two wheel drive roads to four wheel drive only. These are usually longer, hillier and being entirely on unsealed roads and tracks are significantly more challenging than the main route.
