“Everything went as planned. The bikes worked well and we had an amazing day. We didn't bike around the whole island cause we wanted to snorkel and relax and meet quokkas. We are experienced bikers so it wasn't to hard for us but we passed a lot of people that were having trouble so plan according to your abilities as the route is up and down, but so much fun 😊 Met a lot of quokkas mostly around the settlement. Also interesting to learn about the sad history of the island.”
