Highlights
Outing Highlights
Comfortable Cruiser E‑Bikes
The fleet uses Merida eSPRESSO CC cruiser e‑bikes with comfortable step‑through frames, intended for relaxed exploration on bike paths, town roads and smooth gravel tracks rather than technical mountain‑bike single‑trails.
Beaches, Bays and the Yili‑njili Cycleway
Ideal short loops head to Tathra Beach and Moon Bay or follow the Yili‑njili Cycleway between Kalaru and Tathra for shoreline views and easy, low‑stress riding.
Mobile Delivery and Local Giving
Navigate Expeditions delivers bikes to your chosen address and offers free delivery for multi‑day hires in Tathra, Kalaru and Wallagoot; for every booking $1 is donated to the Bega Local Aboriginal Land Council.

What the ride feels like
You pick a date and bike type, the crew delivers a ready‑to‑ride cruiser to your address, and you set off unescorted to craft your own day — a picnic on sand, a relaxed loop along coastal cycleways, or a multi‑day shoreline crawl at a leisure pace using electric assist to cover more ground.
