An Hour of Power: Quad Biking in Sydney
Every day in Sydney is filled with fun. From cheering on the Roosters to skydiving and paragliding, the Harbour City is one place that thrillseekers such as yourself can’t seem to resist. If you’ve already checked the quintessential sights off your bucket list, like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, now it’s time to indulge in an activity that will have your heart racing and your cheeks sore from smiling: a quad biking Sydney adventure. Shift into high gear and venture outside the city limits for a four-wheeled feat like no other. The mountains and parks surrounding Sydney provide the perfect day trip, and there’s no better way for a true explorer to see them than from the back of a roaring quad bike.
Get to Know Glenworth Valley
Glenworth Valley is the heart of nearby bush country, roughly 108 kilometres north of Sydney. With lush green valleys, mountain springs, and tree-covered trails, this is about as picturesque as it gets. The Quad Biking Experience at Glenworth Valley is ideal for novice riders and seasoned shredders alike; simply hop aboard a comfortable ATV and prepare to cruise through the unspoiled scenery. Don’t let the easy-going nature of the staff at Glenworth Valley Outdoor Adventures fool you – they love an action-packed, adrenaline-pumping day as much as you do. Cruise down private trails in the bush, then head to the Glenworth Valley quad biking track. With a water crossing, hills, straight shots and a closed-loop track, the day will be packed full of thrills. The entire excursion lasts an hour and a half and covers more than 15 kilometres of terrain. Don’t forget your GoPro!
Bike Through the Blue Mountains
If you’ve never seen the beautiful Blue Mountains, well, what are you waiting for? This eucalyptus-shrouded mountain oasis is so special, it’s even a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Best of the Blue Mountains 4×4 Off-Road Tour with Lunch is an exhilarating way to explore one of Australia’s most legendary natural landmarks, 128 kilometres west of Sydney. Gaze in wonder at the Three Sisters rock formation and the awe-inspiring Grose Valley, and get inside info on all the famous spots. After a day of biking through the bush, take a peaceful nature walk to admire the local flora and wildlife before digging into lunch – there’s more to the Australian outback than kangaroos, after all. An impressive meal, including a cheese platter, will complement your sun-soaked day of exploration.
Whether you want to hop on that four-wheeler to get a new perspective of Australia’s mind-blowing natural wonders or simply to get your adrenaline kicks, you’re bound to finish your adventure with a massive smile on your face. From Glenworth Valley to the Blue Mountains, there’s heaps of scenery to explore near Sydney. It’s time to “rev” up your life from the back of a quad bike!
