4.00Great trail for a ride except the first section when it parallels the highway. The trail is well maintained and marked. We rode to Rabbit Island and it was well worth the effort. The beach is a great place to rest and listen to the surf.
Perfect for a girls trip!

4.00Long, leisurely ride out to Mapua and very nice stop at a winery made the bike trip enjoyable. That said, it was a very long day in the saddle and casual riders need to prepared.

5.00Such a fun day! We rode e-bikes along the Great Taste trail , a lovely scenic route along the water. We ended up at Siefried winery where we had a delightful lunch in the garden and wine tasting We are in our 60s and don’t ride bikes regularly but thus 20km ride was made easy and pleasant by the e-bikes. Chris and Bernie are wonderful to work with !
