Self Guided E Bike Ride - Unicorn Falls, Rainforest & Rail Trail

About this tour

Based from Mooball, this 6-hour ride weaves past ancient forest, through tunnels and across bridges to reach Unicorn Falls in Mount Jerusalem National Park, where you can swim. The assisted bikes handle the climbs, so moderate fitness gets you the distance without grinding.

What to expect

You'll collect your Bosch e-bike, lights and a smartphone loaded with the route map, then head out from Mooball. Expect roughly 3 to 3.5 hours of actual cycling spread across the full day—plenty of time to pause, take in views, scramble down to the falls and swim. The route mixes sealed country lanes with gravel sections and some climbing, though the motor takes the sting out of the grades. You'll pass through old rail tunnels, cross bridges and wind through forest canopy. Bring your own water and cash for lunch stops along the way.

Good to know

You must be at least 14 years old, over 150 cm tall and under 120 kg. Moderate fitness required; the ride isn't for those with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health or pregnant travellers. Gravel roads and uphill/downhill sections demand comfort on varied terrain. Wear a helmet (provided). Pack your own water and snacks or plan to buy them en route.
