About this tour
Pedal through Tweed hinterland's quieter corners on a premium e-bike, combining sections of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail with rainforest and rural lanes. Starting from Mooball, you'll navigate a suggested route at your own pace over 5–6 hours (roughly 3–3.5 hours of actual riding), with the option to swim at Unicorn Falls in Mount Jerusalem National Park. E-assist makes rolling hills manageable for riders with moderate fitness; you control stops, detours and speed throughout.
Highlights
- Swim at Unicorn Falls within Mount Jerusalem National Park
- Ride through historic rail trail tunnels and bridges
- Ancient rainforest and open hinterland in one loop
- Self-guided freedom—no group pace constraints
- Gravel and sealed quiet roads mixed together
- E-bikes handle climbs without burning out your legs
What to expect
You'll collect a Bosch e-bike, lights, helmet and a rugged phone loaded with your route at Mooball. The ride blends Rail Trail sections with off-trail rural roads, some unsealed, with moderate climbing and descending. Expect a mix of pedalling and coasting, with plenty of room to linger at lookouts or waterholes. The Unicorn Falls detour rewards you with a natural pool—bring swimmers. You'll pass through old tunnels and cross heritage bridges. Navigation is map-based, so you navigate independently; there's no guide. Pace yourself and use the e-assist on steeper pitches.

Minimum height 150cm, maximum weight 120kg, minimum age 14. Not suitable if pregnant, with spinal issues or poor cardiovascular health. Full briefing and bike setup included before you ride.
