Perfect for Active Families!
Coombabah is the perfect spot to introduce your kids to riding on unpaved fire trails but still enjoy the Australian bushland. The tracks at the conservation area go through grasslands, forested areas, along a canal, all whilst spotting native animals. The eastern grey kangaroos aren’t hard to spot but the koalas require a keen eye!
The trails are flat, and most are well signposted making this ride suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Please note that the park opens at 6am daily, with gates closing at 6pm.
