The Ultimate Wilderness Ride

Matt and Calum, who drove the shuttles were welcoming, friendly and helpful with their advice.
The trails were in great condition and built very well. I am not the best at taking on larger jumps but after a few runs I had all confidence in the trails and I knew if I let go of the brakes I could trust the jumps not to send me into oblivion! We had so much fun.
We highly recommend using Southbound Escapes shuttles at Narooma.
The booking process was super easy, and with Matt's extensive knowledge and trail recommendations we were able to ride a great variety of trails, from green all the way through to double black, even linking multiple trails together into one run.
He suggested trails that suited us perfectly and also shared helpful tips and advice for each individual trail
We've also ridden the Narooma shuttles with Southbound Escapes previously and had a similarly awesome experience.
Just a great crew of people all round. Highly recommend to anyone riding in Mogo or Narooma. We can't wait to come back!
The trails at Mogo are good fun and worth checking out. They are well maintained and feature a bit of everything from technical descents, fast flow, and sick jump lines. A personal favourite was Alice in wonderland.
Definitely recommend booking Southbound Escapes and we will be back for sure.
They are really slow which requires you to pedal a lot so paying higher price for an e-bike becomes quite unworthy.
The staff is really indifferent. We walked into the shop and we havent even been greeted. The woman at the desk just looked at us and waited for us to say something. Really awkward and very unwelcoming.
She had zero patience and was really rushy into getting us to fill the forms.
I think if you don’t like to deal with people, you shouldn’t be working in customer services.
The young blonde girl (that i believe she works at a restaurant nearby) was really smiley and nice.
The whole area is beautiful, but that has nothing to do with this rental place.
I don’t recommend this shop for bike rentals. There’s definitely better places to go to.
The Burnaaga goanna trail is awesome. well worth the visit.
be aware that its not for beginner riders
Matt was a great shuttle driver. provided good instruction on what to expect and gave us some interesting background on the trail build and area.
Matt was our captain both times and provided great banter, as well as great advice on what to ride next and some features to keep an eye out for. We felt very welcomed and taken care of, like someone was watching out to make sure we made it to the bottom each time.
Our family recommends Southbound Escapes for your Narooma MTB shuttling needs. Great people, great service!
Such a great service and top bloke- thanks guys! Highly recommend :)
Callum the shuttle driver (on the day) is an absolute legend and is incredibly informative, accomodating and encouraging!
Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. The bike rack was solid and easy to use. Most of the roads we drove on were smooth, only the final climb was on rough dirt.
Many signed up at the last minute; there were only two registered when I signed up the day before yet we were eight on the day.
A beautiful and inspiring bike Trail.
My wife has next to no bike riding experience and yet loved the couple of hours with the e-bike very easy to use and ride.
Highly recommend you give it a go.
By the way she rated it 9 1/2 out of 10
The e bike ride from Narooma to Dalmeny was awesome and would highly recommend. The beaches and their turquoise water was amazing. Highly recommend Southbound Escapes at Narooma.
Southbound escape shuttles is an awesome shuttle company, saves you A LOT of pedalling!
Easy booking, reliable, super nice and helpful drivers, comfy and safe vans!
We will see you again soon!
The bikes were well-maintained and of premium range, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride. We had a fantastic time riding to Dalmeny and back, taking in the beautiful scenery along the way.
Other guests have also praised Southbound Escapes for their excellent service, friendly staff, and well-organized tours. The attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly sets them apart.
Highly recommend Southbound Escapes for a memorable and enjoyable adventure!
I'll be back soon

My son and I ended up doing 3 days of shuttles because everything was sooooo enjoyable. Great trails and great drives.
Would definitely recommend to all levels of rides!
Great team.
Only gripe is when over subscribe we sometimes missed a shuttle.
If more riders than shuttle spots, can you have a queue system so late arrivals don’t get first spots on shuttle ?
Great views of the beach
Greatly planned bike track
Great value
Ps the coffee was delicious too.
