Encounter Bikeway

31km, One Way, Flat, Easy, Shared Path and Very Quiet Roads, Sealed/Unsealed 

The Encounter Bikeway travels along pristine coastline linking the heritage towns of Goolwa, Port Elliot and Middleton with Victor Harbor. The coastal views from the amazing Fleurieu Peninsula are wonderful.

Victor Harbor offers just about everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. With sun, surf and sand, clear turquoise waters and stunning views, outstanding early colonial architecture, and good pubs, cafes and restaurants. A perfect setting for your tour!

Goolwa is the town where the Murray Mouth and Southern Ocean meet. The town still has many historical features from its thriving river port past with many wonderful old sandstone buildings dating back to the 1850s, great pubs, a microbrewery, restaurants and cafes. Finish your journey by taking a cruise on the lower Murray River on an authentic 103 year old paddle steamer or an eco-cruise into the Coorong.

Visit Granite Island, enjoy whale spotting and wonderful sea views.

Why not ride or walk one way and catch a ride on the historic Cockle Train? It is important to contact SteamRanger on 1300 655 991 prior to your ride to confirm availability for space for your bicycle and arrival time of the train. The train operates every Wednesday and Sunday as well as every day during SA school holidays.
