NZ Bike Trails - Hawea to Wanaka Cycle. What an incredible experience. Everything was first class - from the Luxurious Van pick up in Wanaka, David's running commentary on the way to Lake Hawea showing us the cycle route and giving us a little bit of local history, the near new comfortable E bikes, the safety briefing with some great tips for better cycling, We had an awesome day the scenery is spectacular. A must do ride. Thanks David we will most certainly use your services again Wendy and Phil

Gorgeous scenery, great bikes, and our guide Scott was fun, informative, and fabulous. We'd never been on e-bikes before, and it was unexpectedly exhilarating! I wish we'd had another four hours to explore.

We were a group of 4 over 60 riders whose tour had been arranged by our travel company. After reviewing our needs John, our guide, adapted the tour to better suit our needs. He took us on a very scenic route and explained a number of the natural features we saw on the way. Highly recommended experience.

Scott was a wonderful guide giving us lots of great information as we rode along a beautiful trail along the Hawea River. It was the perfect length and level for us.

as 0 experience bikers, we had so much fun with our Guider John, who arranged the route and photo taking positions so well alongside taking care of my 4 year-old son, and it was very safe for us during the activity.

Scott and the team were professional and organised. They were willing to custom our ride to meet the 'enthusiasts to novice' skill range of my teenage children. Even I managed to not fall off on a few of the more challenging descents! I would highly recommend them as we would not have found the tracks nor had the confidence to navigate the trails. We didn't have to lift a finger with it all organised and the pick up and drop off at our accommodation. Thanks again - would do it again.

A very well organised day. Our family was met by Dan and given a thorough overview of the tracks we would be riding, the sites along the way and great places to grab a bite. We had a great day bike touring, thanks to Wanaka Bike tours! Very family friendly!
