Red’s Hiking and Biking Tours
No matter what your fitness level, Treasure Beach locals, Damian Parchment and Howen Campbell, will guide you on an unforgettable adventure. Their company, Reds Cycle Tours, started over 20 years ago, offers trips either by bike, on foot, by boat…or a combination. What to expect? Bumpy roads! And, a lot of fun. Many routes run right along the water’s edge, and all are available for groups of between two and 20.
