Great cruising bike hire
Welcomed by Nichole in Palm shop, set us up with great cruising Norcos for the day. Great way to see the beautiful beaches and enjoy lots of coffees. Would definitely recommend if you need a half day activity. Nichole had 3 sets of customers and calmly dealt with each group with efficiency and good vibes. Asset to the business

A Wild Ride with "Biked" - Thrills, Spills, and Laughs Guaranteed!
Our "Biked" tour was an epic saga of mountain biking turned survival adventure. Picture this: one moment we're pedaling peacefully, the next, we're battling the sting of the infamous gympie gympie plant. But fear not, our heroic guide swiftly turned disaster into comedy, employing emergency waxing skills worthy of a stand-up routine and guiding us to soothing waters with the calm of a seasoned captain. The unexpected twist? Encounters with green ants and wallabies that turned our route back into a spontaneous wildlife safari. Despite the pain, the laughs, and the sheer unpredictability, it was an adventure we wouldn't trade for anything. Huge shoutout to our guide for turning a potentially trip-ruining moment into an unforgettable story of resilience, laughter, and the great outdoors. "Biked" doesn't just offer tours; they deliver unforgettable memories, with a side of life lessons (and a little wax). Five stars for turning what could have been a disaster into one of the most memorable days of our lives. We laughed, we cried (mostly from laughing), and we absolutely loved it. Thanks, "Biked"!

Unforgettable experience - highly recommend to tourists who want the full rainforest experience!
Fantastic tour! The attention to detail was faultless. We went for my father’s 60th birthday and they went above and beyond to make our experience special! Thank you to all the team for making our experience with Biked unforgettable!

Immer wieder gerne. Fantastischer Service!
I wanted to rent a bike in Palm Cove, but initially I was unhappy because I saw the prices. But they are completely normal for Australia, you can't compare them with the prices in European holiday countries. But what was even better was that Courtney, the owner of Biked, took a lot of time to ask me about my plans. Courtney, the owner of Biked, took a lot of time to ask me about my plans and offered me a variety of bikes, none of which were expensive. I really didn't need the MTB I had planned, so I decided on a very well-maintained e-city bike. Courtney recommended really good routes and when the four hours were up (quite enough), she offered me to keep the bike overnight until the next day at 12 o'clock. And that at a cheaper than for the four hours! So the next day I was able to combine a tour with a super hike up Earl Hill, which Courtney had Courtney absolutely recommended. The whole bike & hike tour was really worth it! Unfortunately, the hike took longer because there were several paths that I didn't want to skip. so I arrived back at Biked later than I had actually booked. And of course I would have paid for it. But Courtney didn't want that at all. She was happy that nothing happened and that I had a nice tour. And then she took a lot of time to give me tips for my next destinations. The shop, the staff and Courtney were very relaxed and helpful, absolutely lovely. If I ever cycle in Palm Cove again, it will only be with Biked.

A must to do in Palm Cove!!!
Worth a visit to these guys!!! My husband and 14yr old son hired mountain bikes and e-bikes and rode to the Smithfield MTB tracks,while my 12yr old daughter and I hired e-scooters and traveled to Trinity Beach for a smoothie and back. The boys loved their bikes and said the tracks were awesome. My daughter and I absolutely loved the e-scooters!!!! Awesome day and the equipment was in great condition. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful in helping you plan your trip. Well done guys!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, it was an absolute pleasure getting your family riding, and we're so glad to hear you all really enjoyed your time out there, both with the MTBs and the e-scooters! It was great that your husband and son got out there to ride the scooters the next day as well. We hope you and your family have a fantastic day, you'll just have to come back up to Palm Cove to de-stress and ride with us again!!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairns & the Tropical North.
How much does Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns cost?
+
Prices start at $199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairns & the Tropical North usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairns & the Tropical North is not rushed.
Is Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairns & the Tropical North, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairns & the Tropical North can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairns & the Tropical North and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairns & the Tropical North within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairns & the Tropical North?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairns & the Tropical North experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fun, Falls and Forest Day Trip from Cairns, Passions of Paradise Great Barrier Reef Cruise by Catamaran, Tully River Full-Day Rafting: Cairns, Mission Beach or Self-Drive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairns & the Tropical North?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairns & the Tropical North?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns?
+
Included: Bike Helmet; and E-Mountain Bikes. Not included: Water Bottles/Hydration Packs. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 5 listed pickup locations in and around Cairns & the Tropical North. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mountain Bike Tour - Cairns?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
