What is the weather going to be like?
Daytime temperatures are typically around 75 degrees, but can vary widely, as this is the summer and it can be hot. Bring layers, as well as a rain jacket, to be prepared for possible rain. Night temperatures typically drop into the 60s.

What are the daily rides like?

On all of our vacations, Trek Travel strives to find quiet, paved secondary roads or bike paths to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. Santos Tour Down Under is best suited for our Type 3 Riders. Our Trek Travel guides can also easily accommodate Type 2 Riders, who seek less mileage or fewer uphills, with a boost in the van. Type 4 Riders will enjoy the extra mileage the avid route options offer. The terrain is variable and is highlighted by rolling hills with occasional steep climbs and potential headwinds. However, the scenery is amazing and makes every climb worthwhile. See Itinerary for specific daily ride distance and elevation options.

What are the options for a non-rider travel companion?
This destination is best suited to guests who want to cycle every day. Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and riding routes, there are few, if any, non-riding options available. If a non-rider wants to accompany a rider guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-riders from this destination.

As an alternative, call a Trek Travel Trip Consultant at 866.464.8735 for trip suggestions where more non-rider activities are available, such as:

• South Australia Luxury
• New Zealand Multisport
• Vietnam & Cambodia
