Rail Explorers: A Unique and Unforgettable Adventure on Rhode Island's Coast
Embark on an extraordinary journey along the picturesque coast of Newport, Rhode Island, with Rail Explorers. This innovative experience offers a unique blend of cycling and rail travel, allowing you to glide effortlessly along historic railroad tracks while immersing yourself in breathtaking ocean views and serene surroundings.
Inspired by the hand-pumped carts of the past, modern railbikes are pedal-powered with an engine assist, providing a smooth and effortless ride. As you pedal along the iron tracks, you'll be treated to panoramic vistas of Narragansett Bay and hidden gems of Aquidneck Island that are only accessible by rail.
Rail Adventures offers a variety of group tours tailored to different preferences. The Northern circuit combines adventure with history, as the guide narrates the area's Revolutionary War significance and the origins of the railroad. The Southern circuit, on the other hand, offers a more social experience, with stops at scenic picnic spots complete with fire pits and Adirondack chairs.
Safety is paramount at Rail Explorers. The pack of railbikes maintains a safe distance of 500 feet between each other, with guides positioned at the front, rear, and throughout the group. The custom-designed quads, known as the "Rolls-Royce of railbikes," feature an advanced propulsion system that ensures a smooth and effortless ride, even on inclines.
Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a novice, Rail Explorers caters to all ages, weights, and heights. Up to four people can share a bike, and two bikes can be linked together to form a caravan, combining pedal power for a truly memorable experience.
Destination Tennis host Monica Puig, who has traveled extensively, couldn't resist the allure of Rail Explorers during her visit to Newport. "It's really cool because you get beautiful views of the ocean and trees," she enthused. "It's different in terms of excursions and things to do."
