HAPPY CUSTOMERS

We had a great experience with Southbound Escapes and feel it is the best thing to do in Narooma. We did the slightly more adventurous wilderness ride which takes you on graded gravel roads through state forest, rainforest, along the river, through farmland and then back to town. Highly recommended! The staff were friendly and the equipment made the whole experience easy and fun. The picnic lunch was excellent. Be sure to take the out and back detour to the lookout for a great view over the estuary and out to the ocean.

​

We hired e-bikes from southbound and cycled up to Dalmeny. The bikes were great, the staff were warm, welcoming and helpful and the cycle was easy and beautiful. Really recommended.

​

We hired e bikes and rode the magnificent narooma to Dalmeny trail, with food and drinks by southbound escapes. We had a fabulous time. The food was excellent and the bikes were great. Southbound escapes even put on the perfect weather for us. We also managed to see the stingrays and seals at the boat ramp for an extra bit of excitement.

​

My family of 4 hired e-bikes from Southbound Escapes in Feb 2026. It was our first time on ebikes so we were a bit nervous. However the staff put our minds at ease with their friendly and thorough explanation of how the bikes worked. We hired for 2 hours and did the Narooma-Dalmeny cycle path which was very scenic. The bikes were great, very easy to use and good quality (2 x Giant and 2 x Norco). We arrived back about 15 mins late and I offered to pay extra for that time but the staff would not hear of it. This ride was some of the best fun I have had in a long time and I would strongly recommend everyone but especially families take their kids when they are in beautiful Narooma.

​

Friends and I got the shuttle up to the Mogo Gonna trail. Great staff, service & the trail is amazing! We will definitely be doing this again. Our thanks to the whole team & the crew at Ride Mogo.

​

This is hands down the best driven shuttle service I've done, we were lucky enough to only have 5 on our shuttle and Matt our guide went over and above getting us around the mountain. To have the chance of riding up to 15 trails from green to mind blowing double blacks made it a day of days. Cheers to Sal at Southbound escapes for making it happen.

​

Absolutely top-notch shuttle service from Southbound Escapes today. Rode the Narooma MTB trails this morning with a couple of mates and these guys made the day ridiculously easy.Huge shout-out to Callum and the other legend driving today (sorry mate, didn’t catch your name). Both were super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely stoked to have riders on board. Nothing was too much trouble, bikes loaded quickly, good chats between runs, and a really relaxed vibe all round. Shuttle runs were frequent and well organised, so there was barely any waiting around. You finish a run, roll back in, and you’re pretty much straight back up the hill, exactly how a shuttle day should be.

​

Southbound Escapes staff are always accommodating/friendly and professional. I've used them a number of times now and never been disappointed.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.

 

We had the most amazing bike ride. We were coming from Canada and booked the bikes online ahead of time. We couldn’t believe how beautiful the ride was and so many highlights like the seal colony and stunning views. If we had k own the area was so amazing we would have stayed there longer. We were unfortunately just passing through for the day. Sally was so helpful when we got to the rental and helped us plan our activities in the area to attend as we passed through the area. This is the best place to come for help as Sally directed us to the most amazing lunch location as well. Great resource. Thanks for the great day out! Jennifer K

"Sally was a fabulous host who was responsive and helpful. Our family enjoyed a wonderful holiday in a scenic location. Spacious and private but close to the beach for lovely walks. 8 adults had their own space and also enjoyed a huge entertainment area to come together for games at night. Thanks, Sally, for a lovely long weekend" Sue

​

"Fantastic! Took an E-bike around to Australia rock to see the seals and Dalmeny. Fantastic advice from the staff and a great morning out." Natalie

​

"We hired 3 E-bikes for 2 hours and had so much fun. We road all the way around to Kianga stopping for breaks to see the seals and a swim along the way. The ladies at Southbound Escapes were so friendly and helpful (thank you) Highly recommend this for anyone wanting to see the beautiful scenery and enjoy some exercise too. Ps the coffee was delicious too." Kristen

​

"Hired E-bikes. Great bikes and had a ball. Sally was so accommodating and switched days for us as it rained the day we had booked. Definitely recommend hiring from here." Kayla S

​

"This is the most beautiful home we have ever stayed! When you walk onto the front porch and look at the incredible views, you instantly feel relaxed. These amazing ocean views are also visible from the kitchen, dining and lounge room and provide the most peaceful experience. The open plan lounge, kitchen and dining were perfect for our group stay of eight adults. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and sitting out in the back garden was also lovely with a pretty aspect. That was our first time to Kianga and we will definitely be back! Sally’s home was simply magnificent! Only a short stroll to the coastal track where you could run, walk or cycle plus the beach - a super handy location!" Fiona

​

​

"We had a great day organised by Southbound Escapes. E-bike hire self guided tour to Oyster Farmers Daughter where we had a sensational seafood lunch then off to Big Niles Brewery for a beer paddle. Narooma put on the beautiful weather to top it off! Both ladies we spoke to were very helpful, booking pick up and drop off were all stress free." Kim S

​

"Sally was fantastic to deal with and very happy to help where needed." Ryan

​

"We had an amazing experience with Southbound Escapes, in particular with Sally! She was extremely helpful and made us feel at home in Narooma, giving us lots of information on the local area and even planning a route for us to drive on our way up to Jervis Bay. We would highly recommend the E Bikes and the cycle route from Narooma to Dalmeny. We have been recommending Narooma and Sally at the visitors centre to all our friends who are planning on travelling down the East Coast." Finlay M

​

"We had a wonderful time on the e-bikes today. We booked for 3 hours, and under the great advice from Sally, we set off on the most stunning coastal bike ride. We loved stopping for a swim along the way. Thank you Southbound Escapes for a brilliant day out. Loving Narooma." Anne A

​

"The E-bikes were great our ages ranged from mid 60's to 13. All three of us loved the bikes and ride to Dalmeny. Sally took time to show us about each bike, get sizings right and gave us a good safety briefing. Will definitely be doing this each time we come to Narooma. Thx Sally" Jeff

​

"Thank you Sally for putting us through to Lynne Thomas, Elder of the Yuin People. Thank you Lynne for taking us on a stroll towards the beach, explaining us about Songlines, your People, the school you work at with children, the story about the mother, son and daughter, the relation towards nature. It was inspiring, informative and made us feel connected with the land and country." Ellen and Ann

​

"Best way to spend a couple of hours in Narooma. What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! Friendly, helpful service and the E-bikes are so easy to use. The staff can show you how to use it if you’re worried. I towed my daughter in a kids trailer from Narooma to Dalmeny and back with no issues. We had loads of fun taking in the gorgeous scenery and a drop at a playground or two along the way." Bohonomad

​

"This is such a great experience. I hired an e-bike with a friend. The owner was so accommodating. We needed to change the hire date due to poor weather> not a problem. We weren't sure if we wanted to hire for 2 or 3 hours> not a problem. 2 hours is not enough. I would recommend that you hire for more than 2 hours. All the staff are nice and showed brochures and tips of where to go. I highly recommend Southbound escapes." Lisa C
