Pass by: Experience the vibrant Riverbank Precinct - starting from the heart of the City, cycle to the bustling Riverbank Precinct home to significant and historic buildings, sports events and public spaces. Sights include the Festival Centre, Elder Park, the Adelaide Convention Centre, the historic rowing sheds and the new $40 million landmark Riverbank Bridge that links the world famous Adelaide Oval with the City.
Ride the serene River Torrens Linear trail - enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the river, parks and wetlands as you ride through an 1800’s cemetery, cross under viaducts and bridges and appreciate the serenity of nature in this continually changing landscape. As the river trail comes to an end, you start to feel the ocean breeze and will soon be amazed by the breathtaking coastal views.
Discover the relaxed atmosphere of Henley Beach - the recently redeveloped Henley Square offers the perfect place to take a break and re-energise over a delicious morning brunch while getting some insider tips from your guide. Henley is one of the ‘go to’ beaches for locals to hang out and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Take a walk on the jetty and keep an eye out for the occasional pod of dolphins that visit the foreshore. Cycle along the spectacular coastline - heading south along the dedicated cycle path, take in the expansive views along the coastline toward the Fleurieu Peninsula. Get a feel for the South Australian coastal lifestyle as you ride past beach side houses, sailing clubs and sand dunes.
The final stretch takes you through the stylish Marina Pier complex and Glenelg Foreshore. Stay and explore the coastal town of Glenelg - the final stop is at the popular cosmopolitan town of Glenelg – ideal for swimming, dining and entertainment. Shop on the bustling Jetty Road, discover the museums and galleries or simply find a place to relax and enjoy an ice cream.

The attendant was...
The attendant was great. He was a good guide and attentive The super trader Unfortunately the equipment was not very good. My seat kept coming down and the handlebars had a problem. My friend had to cancel her tour
Easy relaxing ride along beautiful riverside bike trail
We thoroughly enjoyed the City to Sea Bike Tour. Beautiful scenery and easy riding along sealed bike trails beside the Torrens River. Stop at Henley beach for brunch and finish at Glenelg. Fabian was friendly and calm as a guide. Bikes were fine for this ride. Drop off at our hotel after was appreciated.
Lovely cyle along the Torrens river.
Great cycle tour following the Torrens river from Adelaide to the sea. The guide, Fabian, was knowledgeable about the sights and landmarks we passed. He set a pace that suited the group. A lovely lunch in Henly and a dolphin in the marina! I would recommend this tour highly.
Perfect Day Out
What a fabulous way to get to know Adelaide. After meeting in the city amd meandering through the inner city sights and history we were then treated to some delightful trails through parks and alongside the beautiful river. Our lovely guide made sure the pace of the ride suited us all. The highlight was the ride along the beachfront from Henley to Glenelg, including a leisurely lunch at a cafe beside the water!
Beautiful and Peaceful
What a beautiful way to see Adelaide and the surrounding community!! It was such a peaceful stroll along the river, past parks and beautiful homes to the incredible ocean - and then along the ocean. Still pinching ourselves with this experience. Fabian was a fantastic and caring guide! Highly recommend.
