Kiama trike tour surprise – Alexandra + Kaleb 06.01.22

A trike tour birthday surprise. Kiama NSW
Kiama trike tour surprise – Alexandra + Kaleb 06.01.22

Michelle organised the Kiama trike tour surprise, for her daughter’s birthday. Neither Alexandra or her boyfriend Kaleb had any inkling until the trike rocked up at their holiday accommodation. Needless to say, it was a wonderful surprise.

Kiama

Our trike rider Barry, picked them up from their accommodation at Kendalls Beach. He took them for a tour of part of the south coast, it’s such a beautiful area. Kiama is a coastal town south of Sydney. It’s known for the Kiama Blowhole and Little Blowhole, 2 cliff side caverns where seawater shoots into the air. They rode around Kiama and the wharf area.

Gerringong

Next, they rode south to Gerringong. It’s a small, scenic town with a nice long beach, just 10kms south of Kiama. Gerringong was a rural dairying village but since the 1980s it has become increasingly a holiday and tourist destination. So far, the Kiama trike tour surprise birthday present was a lot of fun. Moreover, they are seeing places they never would have seen.

Jamberoo

After that, they turned around and headed north for the main part of their tour. Jamberoo is a famous place in NSW, because of the action park that is there. In addition, it is located 114 km south of Sydney so not far to go fo a day trip. The town’s name is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘track’ or ‘path’. It’s a quaint town with a good lookout on Saddleback Mountain. However, the 1 hour was almost up so they turned around an headed back to Kendalls Beach. In conclusion, the Kiama trike tour surprise was the best birthday present ever. In other words, they’d do it again in a heartbeat!

surprise 7 year old birthday present – Leland + Shane 29.12.21

The surprise 7 year old birthday present was a huge success. You can see by the big smiles on both faces. Even though it rained for most of the tour, they still enjoyed every second of it. Our trike rider Brian, picked the passengers up at Dawes Point Reserve, near the Rocks in Sydney.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It’s nicknamed ‘The Coathanger’ because of its arch-based design. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. So far, on the surprise 7 year old birthday present they were seeing great views and some Sydney icons.

Blues Point Reserve

Continuing on, they rode on through Milsons Point, did a left hand turn and rode up a few streets. This lead to Blues Point Reserve. The views over Blues Bay towards the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the CBD are just stunning. All the more stunning because of the lovely weather. The Sydney city trike tour was showing our overseas passengers some wonderful scenes of our beauitful city.

Mrs Macquarie’s Point

After checking out the north shore, they rode back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past the Royal Botanical Gardens to Mrs Macquarie’s Point. It has beautiful views looking west towards the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They ride past Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. Mrs Macquarie’s Chair is an exposed sandstone rock cut into the shape of a bench, on a peninsula in Sydney Harbour. It was hand carved by convicts in 1810, for Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, Governor of NSW.

Stopping at Harry’s Cafe De Wheels for a look is always interesting. Lots of celebrities have been there and had their photos taken.

However, the hour was almost up so Brian dropped our passengers back at Dawes Point. The surprise 7 year old birthday present was a huge success! A great present for a 7 year old boy.

Manly Gift voucher tour – Eleni + John 29.12.21

John was given a Manly Gift voucher tour. After a few delays due to covid, we could finally take him and his wife on the tour. Our trike rider Brian, met them at Manly Wharf. We always email a map and a description of where to meet, if it is someone out of the ordinary.

Manly and Arabanoo Lookout

Firstly, they rode around Manly for a look at the famous beach. Then it was on to Tania Park on the Dobroyd Headland with the Arabanoo Lookout. From here there are wonderful views to the Sydney Heads, both North and South and the expansive Pacific Ocean.

Balmoral Beach

Crossing the Spit Bridge is fun, it has great views of Middle Harbour. Riding on, they rode past the lovely posh Balmoral Beach. Everyone who comes here loves it! Balmoral Beach is not so well known by visitors and tourists, but the stunning natural beauty of the beach and surrounds make it well worth a visit.

Bradleys Head

Continuing on, they rode through Cremorne, Mosman and down past the Taronga Zoo to Bradleys Head. Make sure you look for the koalas eating and sleeping in the gum trees. Similarly, Bradleys Head has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the CBD. So far, the Manly Gift voucher tour was a huge success.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge.

Finally, they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passengers to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic.

However, the hour was up so Brian dropped our passengers off at The Rocks, here they could explore the oldest part of Sydney. The Manly Gift voucher tour was a fun and memorable experience. A great present and a great way to see parts of the city only the locals know about.

surprise birthday tour – Ian + Sebastian 28.12.21

The surprise birthday tour was originally organised back in June. However, covid had other ideas so we had to postpone the ride. It was a shame because it was a surprise for young Sebastian’s birthday. He didn’t know about it then so when they turned up today for the trike ride, he received a huge and happy surprise.

Our trike rider Dean met the passengers at Circular Quay. They had caught the train down from the Central Coast, north of Sydney.
