Do I need a motorcycle licence?
Yes. A learners motorcycle licence is also sufficient. We cater to all rider capabilities and abilities.
How experienced do I have to be?
As long as you have off-road riding experience you will be fine on our tours.
Does the support truck go on every tour?
We only use our support truck on our Cape York and Darwin tours. On our 2 day and 3 day tours you will be required to bring along a small backpack to hold your own hydration pack (min 2 litres) and your clothes to carry on your back with you when riding.
What is included in the Cape York tour price?
Motorcycle hire, camping gear (king swag with mattress and stretcher), accommodation/camping fees, national park fees and permits, ferry fees, trail side snacks, meals on tour, fuel, oil. All motorcycle maintenance of our hire bikes is done for you on a daily basis on tour, professional and knowledgeable guides with sweep rider and awesome back up support vehicle to carry all your luggage, with all spares, fuel and water.
What if I damage the bike or equipment?
The renter is responsible for all and any loss and damage to the rented motorcycle, accessories and supplied equipment, whilst in your care, even if caused by someone else, or the cause is unknown. We expect minor damages such as scratches as part of a days riding, however, if you severely damage or break a major part, we will need to charge you the cost of replacing that part. (We only charge you what it costs us to replace). In the event of mechanical breakdown not caused by rider negligence, North Queensland Trail Bike Adventures will make every effort to provide repair or a replacement motorcycle to get you moving again to continue your tour.
Do you have to service my own hire bike whilst on tour?
Never. At North Queensland Trail Bike Adventures all motorcycle maintenance of our hire bikes is done for you on a daily basis as you sit back and relax with a coldie in hand! If you are bringing your own motorcycle, then you will take care of your own maintenance whilst on tour.
What if I get hurt?
Safety is a priority. We all know that even if all precautions are taken, riders still can get injured. For minor injuries, we have a quick response first aid kit on hand at all times and satellite phones to call the ambulance if necessary. We strongly recommend that you carry medical insurance along with travel/accident policies.
Do I need to pay for fuel?
No. At North Queensland Trail Bike Adventures our tours are designed to be all inclusive so that all you need is to be ready to ride and enjoy the experience of the adventure.
What protective gear do I wear?
Safety is a priority for Trail Bike riders, so we require motocross safety riding gear: helmet, boots, pants, jersey, chest protectors/body armour, gloves, knee guards, elbow guards, googles and a 2 to 3 litre CamelBak. We highly encourage you to bring your own helmet and boots on the 5 Day, Cape York and Darwin tours as assured fit is very important for your comfort as you ride for multiple days.
