I just came just to ride the sand dunes of the Simpson Desert but I found out that it was much more than an a ride. The scenery was absolutely stunning, I am coming back!

Thanks for the enjoyable trip across the Simpson Desert Eddy It's certainly a spectacular place and in a way, we were lucky to have that rain before we arrived that made the desert bloom overnight almost. For me the highlight was day 3 where the sand was still slightly wet from the rain and you could blast along like the bike was on rails To be frank, when we booked, you rated the ride as easy and that isn't entirely true. It's actually quite hard riding in that soft sand and it takes good a day to get used to it, but once you master the technique, it's fun Your advice to take it easy as there are lots of 4x4 coming down the track needs to be listened to, as I grabbed too much front brake in panic at 80 km after seeing a line of 4x4 around a blind corner I'm sure your bike cartwheeled a few times and to only bend the handlebars , was pretty lucky on my part. Next time I will pay more attention to your wisdom If you get anybody wanting a heads up on what to expect, you are welcome to have them email me on p.shakes@clear.net.nz. All I'll say, is it's value for money, the route you take is excellent, the fly’s and mosquito's are terrible so bring a hat net , the bikes are ideally suited for the trip, but if your short like me, the 400's are a bit of a handful getting your leg over them . However if you don't like onions in your sandwiches every day, stay home, because that's the only way Eddy seems to know how to make them Regards Peter

Gday Eddie, just a quick note to say thanks for the Cape York trip last year. It was everything and more that I was expecting. You run a hell of a tour and I have spoke to a few blokes who are keen to do the same someday so I told them with no hesitation to give you a call..

I would like to thank you for an absolutely fantastic time that I had away. I have spoken highly of your tour to others and hope it will give you some work. I would like to also thank you for everything you did for us on this tour. Your professionalism left little to be complained about. There was not a thing I would change on your tour, everything was magnificent. Food, bikes, information about the days riding. And we had a great group to tour with.
