Overview

4 hours

Mobile ticket

A brilliant way to explore the area and see the beauty all around. You will ride across plateaus, surrounded by mountains on relatively easy grade 1-2 family friendly trails.

The recommended route follows trails all the way from Hawea, alongside the Hawea river, through Albert Town and then follows the Clutha river to Wanaka.

On your way there are lots of interesting places to visit including Lake Hawea, Pembroke Patisserie, Wanaka, the Wanaka Tree and the Edgewater Hotel garden bar.

    This had to be one of my favorite days during our two weeks on the South Island. The weather was spectacular and there is no better way to see Wanaka than on a bike. The trail was varied and easily done with our electric supported bike. We had great directions and loved the stop at the bakery for lunch. Unfortunately a couple in our group had some issues and it was no problem for an early pickup. If you are hesitant on narrow trails you may want to stop at the bakery and get a pickup since the last half of the trek is more narrow. I loved every bit of it and would do it again.

    Scenic ride along gravel trail. Great, thoughtful host. Some mountain-biking experience helpful but trail is basically just rolling hills along crystal blue river and lake

  • Gorgeous bike adventure!

    Beautiful bike ride!! Excellent bikes. David the owner drove us and the bikes to the start of the track. His instructions on how to use the bikes was super helpful. It was stunning biking along the lakes and rivers. Unfortunately it was too cool to swim but on a hot sunny day it would be perfect to stop and swim.

  • Fantastic experience

    Fantastic views and great bikes. Really good instruction on the route and back up from James. If you’re not used to cycling far then opt for an e-bike. Great trails, a bit challenging in places.

  • Great e-bike ride!
