  A very lovely experience - staff were very welcoming and gave helpful advice - a varied and interesting route - bikes good quality and comfortable and helmets very good condition and clean! The locks and panniers were also very helpful - pickup was on time and Mike the driver gave a fabulous history lesson on our return which was extremely informative and enjoyable and thank you Mike for your recommendation of your local pub - very good food!

• An Amazing, Unique Way to See Nelson to Māpua!

  Would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to the Nelson area! It was a great way to see the different things Nelson to Mapua has to offer. We saw and experienced so many things that we may not have seen just driving around. All of the stops the staff said to take were so fun and the food and brews were yummy. Highly recommend making the stop at the Honest Lawyer for breakfast and coffee and then later to the Seifried Estate winery. Along the route, there was so much gorgeous farmland and friendly animals to say hi to. Only thing that could be improved is a little TLC on the mechanical bikes.

  

  

  

  

• Loved our day so much

  We absolutely loved our day. We used electric bikes which were great, however, it wouldn't be too much of a struggle with a normal bike. The team at the base in the morning were excellent, explaining the process and giving ideas on where to stop on the way. We had a great morning tea at The Honest Lawyer, a country pub then did wine tasting a couple of hours later finishing with a late lunch in Mapua. It was easy taking the bikes on the little ferry and Mapua is lovely. We finished the day with a drink listening to jazz. And the shuttle back to Nelson was great and we received good commentary from Mike all the way back. We originally tossed up riding both ways but were very glad we ended up booking the return shuttle as it enabled us to take our time and make stops. Highly recommend.

• Great Fun Nelson Experience

  We really enjoyed this cycling experience. We were given lots of time, information & advice on collecting our bikes. The journey itself was wonderful, mostly off road & any on road part was very quiet. The scenery was amazing & there were lots of eateries along the way. In hindsight we would have gone for ebikes to get to Rabbit Island faster for a swim! It was great to get the ride home with Chrissy who was not only a great driver but was very informative & friendly. The whole experience was very professional & well organised. Would highly recommend.

  East booking and helpful staff. We had a great day out starting in Nelson and the logistics on pickup in Mapua were simple and efficient. Do know that the start of the ride from Nelson is through the city and traffic.

  Friendly and knowledgeable staff at both ends of bike ride. Like the self guide and independence of this ride. Just a few issues with marked trails mostly due to in town construction

• Nelson a bike gem experience

  Was a great weathered day for bike riding the easy flat 32km journey. enjoyed the changing views from inner township, wetlands and costal bike path ways. Being early Jan 26 a few venues were closed but there was one approx 7 ks in where it provided excellent coffee great treeline canopy and view on incoming ' outgoing airlines landing and take offs. Our final destination was a real treat on Rabbit Island with excellent brewery great food and plenty of local artisans shopping options and a great ice ice cream shop. Being bussed back and being given one of the best history reviews of Nelson and its famous residents and exceptional colonisation was worth going around the block again to hear more, definatley need to invest in a microphone as it's a shame for all not to hear about such excellent detail of history. If anyone has a seat preference ask if the have gel seats. Overall this was 10/10 PS a few blue bike signs had worn out could do with updating. Maybe marking the points with how far they have biked and how far to go to pace easier and allow least 2 hours on Rabbit Island or a dip in the waters on the final leg. For small kids maybe too far or opt for the ebike is worth it!

  Absolutely fantastic day, very well organised from start to finish. Bikes were sized to fit us and in really good condition, paneers very useful. We were provided with maps and a detailed walkthrough of the route, highlighting specific points of interest, which was very helpful. Matt, the shuttle driver, not only dropped us at our accommodation on the way back he provided a lot of interesting information about Nelson and the surrounding area along the way, thank you. Very good value for money

• Great day on an e-bike in Nelson

  This is a nice way to experience parts of Nelson we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. The gear was top notch. The instructions were clear and it was nice to be able to set our own pace.
