These guys were super helpful when I broke my bike out on the trails, really considerate, great attitude and nothing too much trouble. Considering thy have a captive audience, the prices for spares and accessories are decent. They have an impressive hire fleet including e-MTB's and the rates are good. But the best thing is the can-do, help you out, community attitude. Great work and thanks.

Kalamunda Mountain Bike Circuit

Reviewed By SwiftoWA - Perth, Australia

I live just over an hour away from the circuit and this is the first time I had been. I went with my wife and a friend. We parked at the Camel farm. Great location, easy parking, there's a cafe and a bike shop. You can hire bikes, buy spares and they will help with repairs (as they did with us!) . We are beginners, we enjoyed the green trails and the blue. My wife is new to MTB and thought the Blue were the top end of her limit. There are hours of trails, well signposted in general although some of the maps on site are a bit vague, so keep Google Maps handy! We did 25km across a few hours and it was fantastic. I would really recommend to all comers and families. If you are comfortable with some trail riding (unsealed) and a single track) you will love it. If you are not, you will also love it.

My Husband and I had a fantastic time walking through the tunnel and talking about life. We sat under a tree with a view and just took in the nature around us.

Zig Zag Scenic Drive

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

The Zig Zag is a former railway line that zig zags down the Darling Ranges, giving a magnificent view of Perth. The Zig Zag runs through the Gooseberry Hill National Park. The council has closed the Zig Zag to motorised traffic because of anti-social behavior by some motorists. The council has not yet made a decision when, or if, to reopen the Zig Zag to cars, but the Zig Zag is open to pedestrians. Apart from the view, the Zig Zag hosts native birds and animals.

Eagle View Trail

Reviewed By JanaZC - Prague, Czech Republic

Great trail, went clockwise from Pechey road which made it longer. The best part is the beginning with the waterfalls...mind you, lots of water in July but hardly any in October. The Eagles view is lovely. The trail is very well marked, you can’t get lost at all. Take plenty of water and do it in winter or spring. Spring is great for wildflowers.

Rocky Pool Walk

Reviewed By G2463DMsimonr - Perth, Australia

A great day out and lovely surprise when you arrive at Rocky Pool. Recommend sneakers or hiking boots as some rocky paths. Great for kids from 6 up who can walk a few kilometres, and dogs on leads. Worth doing in spring or autumn when cooler, but can take bathers in summer for a nice cool down.
