This tour is a beautiful way to see and learn about our amazing countryside. It is also perfect for a beginner starting out on their eBike adventures. Pedal assisted Premium eBikes will help you to cover longer distance with ease.

We will show you hidden secrets on the trail and tell you the history of the Queenstown area. You will discover local nature and meet its habitats. The magnificent landscape around Queenstown makes Ride to the Lake Tour comfortable for riding and does not require special skills (You should feel confident on a regular bike).

It's enough for the experienced rider to keep interested but also great for not-so-experienced riders to push themselves and learn new skills.

I absolutely loved the experience - Riding to and around the lake. The e-bikes were in excellent condition with all the necessary features. Our guide Shay was super friendly and informative and extremely patient with beginner e-bike riders! I would highly recommend this tour.
Great teen family activity on off-snow day!

Absolutely awesome day doing the Ride to the Lake tour with Shae on one of our off-snow days in Queenstown. We've done e-bike tours before in Australia in the Byron hinterland and loved it, but don't generally mountain bike so picked the Lake tour as I didn't want to be overly challenged on the ride (47yo mum!) Had my 2 boys aged 16 & 18 along for the ride and we had one of the best family days we've had in ages. The bikes were super fun, comfy and easy enough to get the gist of. The route was varied with easy stretches along gravel paths, some fun tree-lined pathways amongst forests, lake side rides, bridge crossings and a brief section in residential area making the entire journey interesting and very very scenic. Shae was a fabulous host giving the right amount of guidance and adjusting to our groups' level. He made us all feel comfortable and gave great instructions so we could move at our own pace along the course of the ride. Would 100% recommend, and would love to come back and try some of the other routes!
Family fun with expert guides!

This was the best experience we have had in Queenstown so far! Shay and Ksena were incredible guides, with everything well-organised and ready for us on arrival. Shay has a wealth of knowledge to share about the local area, which we appreciated as tourists. He spent time with each member of our family, giving us all a rich experience. This is the tour to book!!
