We are the original KTM tour co since 2019, now mimicked by all but never matched, proudly offering our guests the best european bikes to ride from day one. We wanted to create a factory feel for our guests from to start to finish, with new bikes every season to the custom sticker grafix on the bikes, to setting up the bikes suspension individually to suit each guests height and weight and not just plonking everyone on a bike and heading off into the tracks.
MOA supply all 3 meals daily while others may not, we'll never ask you to purchase your own pub lunches, an all inclusive tour is just that. Also having the best produce and food on our tours was a big factor for us, which is why we have an amazing professional and Michelin star trained French Chef' creating restaurant quality delicious and nutricious meals every day for you on all Cape York tours. We are the only Moto tour Co in FNQ who does this for our guests!
New KTM EXC500's every year, then setup just for you on our Cape York rides.
These bikes are fun and powerful to ride, yet still also very user friendly for the inexperienced rider.
You will need a valid Motorcycle Licence or Learners Permit and a desire for adventure. We will need to sight and scan a copy of license's before riding.
We also strongly recommend having some recent offroad trail experience and a good level of health and fitness, you may be required to physically manouvre, push and pick up your motorbike out on the trails.
Tip: Get yourself prepared for the ride, heat and humidity by staying well hydrated with water and electrolytes and also by avoiding alcohol & caffeine in the lead up days to your tour.
Safety and good protective gear is a seriously important factor when riding motorcycles. At minimum you must wear long pants and sleeves, an Australian approved helmet in good condition with no damage or cracks, motorcycle boots, knee guards/braces, protective chest/back armour, gloves and goggles.
You've got to stay really well hydrated up here, so you must carry a hydration back-pack, we strongly recommend a 3L water bladder and pack some hydrolyte satchets.
Sure, we can provide full gear if needed. We recommend you bring your own gear for comfort, where possible. We CANNOT supply hydration bladders, socks, goggles or gloves for hire use due to health regulations, however we have some available for purchase.
We include all food and drinks, we wont ask you to buy your own lunch or snacks ever. All you would need to pay for whilst on our tours are any alcoholic beveridges if desired, soft drinks, ice-creams and any gifts or souvenirs you may want to purchase from servos/pubs/shops along the way. We will keep you well fed & watered and our bikes fuelled and maintained.
Definitely, get in touch to discuss.
But, the conditions are: Your bike must have a long range fuel tank (300km), have new tyres and HD tubes fitted, new bearings, brake pads installed and the correct gearing, be in good condition and road registered. You will be responsible for organising transportation of your bike to Cairns from your home state and then back to your home again after the trip. You are also required to supply your own fluids, air-filters (changes/cleaning), spare parts, spare tyres, spare HD tubes and also performing any servicing or maintenance along the way. Is it worth the hassle? That's upto you.
While all the other riders are cracking cold ones or going off for a swim and our guides are busy working doing maintenance & checks on our bikes, you'll be busy working on your bike- doing any repairs or maintenance required and possibly wondering why you did'nt just ride one of ours!
We are all first-aid trained and always have a first-aid kit on hand as well as an EPIRB and satellite phone to call for emergency services, should the worst happen. Should you injure yourself that you are unable to continue riding, that will likely be the end of your tour, you are welcome to complete the tour in the truck if able and willing.
Secondly, we strongly recommend you take out personal travel/accident insurance that covers you for ALL travel and INCLUDING MOTORCYCLING.
Try and find a replacement and let us know asap. On our multiple day rides, if cancelled less than 30 days before your tour date no refunds will be issued, this is to cover our pre-booked flights, accommodation and other expenses. On any other booked tour you will lose your deposit, we will try and reschedule a date to suit both parties.
We strongly recommend taking out travel insurance at time of booking, this way you can seek re-imbursement if you are unable or injured and cannot make the tour.
Yes, just as you would if riding your own bike or a mates. We ask for an $1800- bond on each rental which is returned if no damage occurs. If damged or broken parts need replacing we will deduct from the bond the cost to cover broken parts, we only want to cover any loss or damages and breakages to our bike/parts/accessories or riding gear so the bike is in excellent condition for the next rider, as it was for you.
Our crew will almost always get a bike going again. If not, we will try and replace that bike so you can finish the ride.
Absolutely, we can cater a ride for all abilities. Let us know your riding history if any or none (be honest, it’s all good) we can work with you to get you out having fun with us. You need to be confident in traffic situations and willing to have a go and challenge yourself in offroad conditions.
Our rides are NOT a race or a rally.
They are a guided adventure tour through our beautiful and scenic country, take your time and enjoy the ever changing sights and smells. The group is only as fast as the slowest rider, and there is no shame being a slower rider. We want to ensure that everyone makes it to the final day safely with a smile on your face, regardless of pace.
We ask you to rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 6, 1 being a confident offroad beginner and 6 being a highly experinced rider or accomplished racer.
Our lead and sweep riders will learn your capabilities rather quickly on the fly and choose the best tracks for you or your group. It’s important and helpful to be totally honest about your skill and experience level in the paperwork we will have you fill out prior to arrival. Ask yourself, what would my mates rate me?? It's better to underestimate your skills than over estimate..
Yeah, no worries. Be sure to let us know and we will inform our accommodation and food venues. Most food places cater to these requirements anyway.
We don’t like to say no to moto riding, so, if you have any kind of medical condition you must bring a fitness to participate certifcate from a GP advising of your condition and his/her tick of approval for the activity of dirt bike riding.
The certificate must be valid for the duration of your tour.
In most towns yes, there is usually Telstra reception, in more remote areas there is none. We cannot guarantee your phone reception.
We carry a satellite phone for safety.
We choose to stay at Pub/Hotel/Guesthouse/Backpacker venues when we use provided accommodation. These are always comfortable, friendly and provide great meals and have a bar onsite.
On our Cape York tours you will be required to bring a summer sleeping bag (and a pillow if you desire it), we will provide the rest.
Any medication and safety gear along with some after ride wear.
A detailed letter of itinerary and packing luggage will be sent to you with all the information upon your completed booking.
NO. Although it can usually be purchased as we eat and stay at licensed venues.
Yes, as with all vehicle hire agreements we require a bond before any riding. We require a pre-authorisation hold of $1800.00 on your credit card/cash is also ok. The bond will then be returned upon satisfactory condition of the bike and or any borrowed gear.
