Hartleys Falls, Black Mountain and Bump Track Mountain Bike Adventure
Rock Pools, Rainforest & Ridge Lines
Embark on a self-guided mountain biking journey that blends adventure with natural serenity, starting from the Hartleys Falls Track and winding your way up to the falls themselves.
Guided by a turn-by-turn GPS system, you’ll navigate at your own pace through pristine rainforest trails, pausing to swim in crystal-clear rock pools tucked beneath the canopy. The falls offer a stunning mountaintop paradise and a tranquil spot to cool off before continuing your ride along the breathtaking Black Mountain Road—a rainforest-lined trail that feels worlds away.
From there, the route connects to the legendary Bump Track, delivering a thrilling descent into the Mowbray Valley and a relaxed roll into Port Douglas.
With all gear provided—including a premium mountain bike or optional eMTB, helmet, gloves, backpack, and Personal Location Beacon—you’re free to explore without worry. Whether you're chasing views, swimming holes, or the joy of the ride, this tour offers a perfect blend of challenge and escape.
