About this adventure

Ride through Brisbane at sunset, enjoy a picnic under the city lights, and explore the city at night. City Nights Picnic Ride is a 3-hour self-guided bike experience perfect for couples looking for a relaxed and romantic way to experience Brisbane after dark.

Starting at 5:00pm, you’ll collect your bikes and a beautifully prepared picnic basket before heading out to explore riverside paths, skyline views, and hidden picnic locations.

To keep the experience intimate, we’ve curated 10 secret picnic spots around the city. These locations are not shared publicly, helping avoid crowds and ensuring a more private and memorable evening. Guests are welcome to choose their own picnic spot or use our recommended locations provided on arrival.

Whether it’s for Valentine’s Day or a special night out, City Nights Picnic Ride is all about great food, fresh air, and Brisbane under the lights.
