Yep – every cheeky rider needs to complete an online waiver before the fun begins. Just show us your confirmation email on your phone when you check in – easy as.

Not tech savvy? No drama! We’ve got good old-fashioned paper copies available at check-in too. Just arrive a few minutes early, and we’ll get you sorted. No waiver, no wheels – so make sure you’re signed, sealed, and ready to pedal!

Yep – we’re cheeky, but we play by the rules! All riders must be 18+ to join our alcohol tours, and yes, we’ll be checking IDs before the ride kicks off. Once you’re cleared, you’ll get a cheeky armband – your golden ticket to sips and fun – and it must be worn for the entire tour. No band, no bevvy!

Not 18 yet? No worries! We’ve got two morning tours that are alcohol-free, and they’re open to fun-lovers 16 and over. Plus, there are 2 special seats available for younger legends aged 8-15, perfect for family-friendly fun with a side of smoothies and Darwin sunshine.

Our usual days of operation are Wednesday – Sunday however bookings outside of these days can be arranged. Please contact us for more information. Check calendar booking link here

We need a minimum of 8 cheeky legends to roll – it’s all about balance, power and keeping the party safely on track! That can be one big group of mates, or a mix of strangers who’ll be besties by the end of the ride. 

Here’s how the bike breaks down:

  • 10 pedal-powered party starters
  • 2 petite jump seats (for those who prefer to cruise, not sweat – no pedalling required!)
  • 1 cheeky back bench for 3 riders, also known as the Whip Seats – because someone’s gotta keep the pedal crew in line with some playful encouragement

Cost ranges from $99 – $179 depending on drinks inclusive packages– Private tours and packages can be arranged. Sober Bob’s riding on the alcohol tours will get an amazing discount to look after their friends. $49 only includes soft drink, water and snacks.

Oh, you bet there is! Our cheeky host or hostess is your onboard DJ, spinning everything from the classic rock anthems to 80s pop bangers and even a few country classics – yeehaw! It’s not just background music either… it’s a rolling karaoke singalong, baby! Whether you’re belting out Bon Jovi, dancing like it’s 1989, or giving your best Dolly impression, we’ve got the tunes to turn your pedal power into party power.

All tours commence from Cheekies Party Bike Office in Cullen Bay 3/57 Marina Boulevard (opposite the Crocodile Park). The tour takes you from Cullen Bay, through the suburbs of Larrakeyah and through the Darwin CBD. There will be 1 stop on the tour to allow passengers to use the bathroom. Parking is limited at Cullen Bay so please try to share rides, scooter, Uber, taxi or use public transport. Bus no. 14 stops close to the office. If you do have a SOBER BOB, then there is overflow parking at the entrance to Cullen Bay – however allow 10 minutes to walk to the booking office.

You bet! Refreshments are served on board, and you’ll find all your food and drink options in the ‘Extras’ section after you hit Book Now. 

  • Pick ONE food item (don’t be a piggy – we’ve gotta make it fair for everyone!) 
  • Choose up to TWO types of alcohol to keep things balanced and the good vibes flowing.

Food will be served shortly after departure so you’ve got something in your belly before the drinks kick in – safety and satisfaction are our thing. On select tours, we swap the booze for ice-cold tropical fruit smoothies – the perfect way to cool down and refresh as you pedal your way through paradise. These rides are designed to invigorate with light exercise and wellness, still packed with cheeky charm. Don’t forget to pre-order your food or drink selection when booking – because hangry riders just aren’t as fun.

Whichever way you choose, just don’t wait too long – seats fill fast, and the fun waits for no one!

We get it – plans change! If you need to cancel, just give us at least 7 days’ notice and we’ll refund you in full. No drama, no stress. 

Need to cancel within 7 days of your tour? If we can fill your spot, we’ll happily offer you a “rain check” (a credit to ride another time) or a refund minus a $10 processing fee. The more notice you give, the better your chances of a refund – so don’t leave us hangin’!

No-shows? Sorry legends, those don’t get refunds – we’ll just assume you got lost on the way to the fun.

Vouchers available online

Absolutely! Got more than 10 party people? That means you’re eligible for an exclusive booking – no strangers, just your crew, your tunes, and your kind of fun. Whether it’s a birthday bash, hens, bucks, work crew or just a wild catch-up, the whole bike is yours to pedal, play and party your way through Darwin. Let the good times roll – privately and cheekily, of course! 

We’re all about keeping the party rolling – rain, shine or Darwin humidity! But let’s be real… this is the Top End, and the weather can throw some cheeky curveballs.

Heat – It’s Darwin, it’s hot, and we love it! We’ve got mist fans, ice ties, and shade on board to help keep you cool. We schedule rides during cooler parts of the day, but from November to February, expect it to be toasty. Pedal hard enough and you’ll create your own breeze (well… sort of!). If we think it’s dangerously hot, we’ll contact you to offer a time change – but otherwise, slap on the sunscreen and embrace it! 

Thunderstorms – Wet season storms can hit like a Territory cyclone in a teacup! If a storm’s looking gnarly, we’ll give you at least 2 hours’ notice and offer a rain check or full refund. You can take the rain check or decline it for your money back. Just don’t assume the ride is off unless you hear from us directly.

In General – Dress for the weather (but honestly, you’ll probably never need a coat). We’ve got rain protection on board, and sure, you might get a little wet – but you won’t get cold! And sometimes a splash of rain just adds to the fun, right?

Not necessarily! If you’re under 5ft 3”, you might struggle to reach the pedals – but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. There are comfy chill-out seats at the back where you can kick back, enjoy the ride, and cheer on your pedalling pals! 

There’s also a maximum weight limit of 140kg for the pedalling seats – but if that’s you, no stress! You’re welcome to rest on the back bench and enjoy all the fun without breaking a sweat.

Bottom line: pedalling is encouraged but not required – there’s always room for the cruisers on Cheekies!

Think comfort + fun + Darwin weather! Wear something you’d be happy riding a bike in – shorts and singlets are perfect for our tropical vibes. Hair up, sunnies on, and a good slather of sunscreen will keep you looking cool and feeling cooler. Avoid jeans or tight clothing – your legs need room to move and groove! Hats? Only if they’re tight-fitting – no flying fascinators mid-tour, please!

Dress to pedal, party and pose for pics – and you’re good to go!

No problems at all – you’re still 100% welcome on board! Our early tours are perfect for those who want to get a bit of light exercise, have a good chat, and soak up the unique Cheekies experience without the booze. We also offer Sober Bob discounts – because being the responsible one shouldn’t mean missing out on the fun. Just look out for the option when booking and come enjoy the ride, your way!

Absolutely – but only for private bookings. If you’ve booked the whole bike for your crew, you’re welcome to drop off some decorations beforehand, and we’ll help jazz things up! We’ve also got a cheeky dress-up at the shop with fun costumes and accessories to take your celebration to the next level. Just a heads up – decorations must be fun, not filthy (so nothing crude, lewd, or yukky!), and can’t block the driver’s view or become a safety hazard to pedestrians or other cars. Keep it cheeky, not chaotic!
