We had an amazing day exploring Lake Hāwea, the Hāwea river and Lake Wānaka. Mark couldn’t have made it easier for us. Great bikes, an awesome mix of scenery and always there to help with instructions, tips on local shops and after a tyre puncture (sorry Mark!) a new bike ready to go in 20 minutes. Highly recommended!

This eBike trip was a highlight of our vacation. Mark does a fantastic job of explaining the route and giving tips. You guide yourself back to the starting point where we met Mark. The trails are beautiful. The bikes had strong motors and plenty of battery. The scenery is extraordinarily beautiful. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

1st time with an ebike. Made it easy to ride the trip around Lake Hawea, alongside Hawea River and Clutha River. Very enjoyable.

Mark was the best. The ride was spectacular and came with local recommendations to some of the best local areas to stop at along the way. Communication was perfect and Mark was also flexible with the arrangements. I would highly recommend this as a great, stress free day with stunning scenery.

Gah!! Where do I even start? How about with sunshine, a charming local kiwi with a wicked sense of humor, like new e-bikes, a well thought out itinerary for self-guided fun, a thorough safety orientation, a cinematic video clip to make friends/fam jelly on social media, a stunning landscape, (including the INCREDIBLE Wanaka tree) and a sense of adventure!?? What could possibly go wrong? Um…NOTHING. Mark made sure this was one of our most memorable days of our NZ trip! Freda (the bike) was the sleek, capable steed who helped this old girl safely navigate and rock the ride, and Mark’s frequent check-ins helped build the confidence we needed to not only complete the ride, but also enjoy the best local food and beverages while doing so. He tailored our trip to US and was so accommodating. I’m the words of Nike…just do it. Book this adventure with this operator!! You won’t regret it!
