About this tour
Combine coastal riding, river paddling and regional wine in one active day across South Australia's McLaren Vale. You'll start with an electric bike journey hugging the shoreline, then switch to a paddle board on the Onkaparinga River before refuelling at a local restaurant and exploring McLaren Vale wineries. Seven and a half hours of varied movement through one of Australia's most celebrated wine regions.
Highlights
- E-bike ride along dramatic coastal scenery
- Stand-up paddle boarding on Onkaparinga River
- Meal at local restaurant (your choice of venue)
- Wine tasting at McLaren Vale cellar doors
- Wetsuits and gear provided
What to expect
Expect to spend the morning cycling on an electric bike—the motor takes the strain on climbs, so focus on the views rather than your legs. Mid-morning you'll trade the bike for a paddle board and get on the water; wetsuits keep you warm and confident. After working up an appetite, you'll eat at a venue matching your budget, from casual to upmarket. The afternoon winds down with wine tastings in the valley, where you can ask questions without pressure to buy. Transitions between activities are straightforward, and the pace allows proper breaks.
Good to know
You'll need moderate fitness—the e-bike eases pedalling but paddling requires core strength. Bring lunch or choose from restaurant options when booking. Wine tasting fees ($15 each) are separate unless you purchase a bottle. Public transport nearby for arrivals and departures.
