Ride into Whale Paradise: Eco-Friendly Whale Watching on the Tweed Coast Cycleway
Imagine this: the gentle hum of your electric bike as you cruise along a scenic coastal path, the sun warming your face, and the vast Pacific Ocean shimmering beside you. Suddenly, a spout breaches the horizon – a majestic humpback whale gracefully gliding through the turquoise water. This isn't a dream; it's a reality on the Tweed Coast Cycleway, an eco-friendly adventure that combines the thrill of whale watching with the joy of cycling.
Witnessing the Magic of the Migration
Every year, from May to November, the Tweed Coast transforms into a whale highway. Thousands of humpback whales embark on their epic migration, gracing our shores with their presence. The Tweed Coast Cycleway, a 28-kilometer trail hugging the coastline, provides the perfect platform to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle.
Effortless Exploration on an E-bike
Forget strenuous pedalling! Embrace the comfort and ease of a fat tyre electric bike. These innovative cycles provide a gentle boost, allowing you to cover more distance without breaking a sweat. This means more time to soak in the sights, sounds, and, of course, the whales. Plus, e-bikes are silent and emission-free, ensuring you leave no trace on this pristine environment.
