Private Trike For Two, Half Day

A private trike ride for two through the Barossa, 3 hours 30 minutes long, with pickup from Nuriootpa area hotels. Tastings and lunch are extra.

Overview

This is a private half day tour for two people on a trike, run by Barossa Unique Tours around the Barossa Valley wine region in South Australia. You and one companion ride behind a local guide, fitted with headsets so you can hear the commentary while on the move, and helmets are provided. The whole experience runs for 3 hours 30 minutes.

The tour begins from the meeting point at 18-28 Tanunda Road in Nuriootpa, outside Provenance, where the trike waits in the front carpark. Hotel pickup and drop-off is included for guests staying at Barossa hotels. From there the route takes in the valley itself, with wine tastings at cellar doors along the way. One reviewer described finishing the ride at a lookout over the valley.

Beyond the wine, the guide's local knowledge gets repeated mention. Several reviewers say the guide's knowledge of the area added to the experience. The tour suits couples or two friends who want a private outing with a difference, and children from 8 years old can ride, since it is only your group on board. Lunch is not included, so plan to eat before or after.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the ride more comfortable, based on the listing and on what past riders have said.

• What to wear. One reviewer who wore a dress regretted it and advised pants instead. The listing also says to dress according to the weather, and another reviewer noted the guide carried gloves and an extra jacket on a cold day, though it is safer to bring your own layers.
• Who can ride. The minimum age is 8 years old and there is a combined weight limit of 250 kg for the two riders. Infant seats are available and pushchairs can be brought, but the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
• Pace and feel. This is a private tour, so only your group of two participates. Reviewers describe it as great fun and a memorable way to spend an afternoon in the region.
• Food and drink. Wine tastings are part of the experience, and several reviewers praised the cellar door visits. Lunch is not included, so eat beforehand or plan a meal afterwards.
• Weather matters. The listing states the experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, you are offered a different date or a full refund, so keep some flexibility in your plans.
• Hearing the guide. Headsets are included so you can hear the guide's commentary during the ride. Reviewers repeatedly mention how much the guide knows about the region.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and the combined weight limit of 250 kg plus the minimum age of 8 will rule some travellers out. Lunch is not included, which adds to the day's cost. Because the experience requires good weather, a ride may be rescheduled or refunded if conditions turn, so keep some flexibility in your plans. Cancellations on your side need to be made at least 24 hours before the start time for a refund, and changes inside that window are not accepted.
