This was an amazing experience made all the more special by the excellent coordination of manager Ryan and wonderful tour guide Tara. I can’t speak highly enough of Tara’s friendliness and welcoming demeanor as she shared the wonders of Wellington, a town she clearly loves. I appreciated the fascinating background and stories of Wellington she shared. Her focus on fun and safety were outstanding. Ryan and Tara were such a special part of my unforgettable Wellington visit. Thank you both! Highly recommend!

Amazing e bike ride. Around the huge harbor hugging the shore. Then up into the large hills overlooking the harbor. About 24 to 30km round trip. E bikes make it easy

Highly Recommend! We enjoyed this windy tour with our guides Tara and Dillon. The electric-assist bikes made the tour effortless. Tara and Dillon provided just the right amount of history and perspective. This is a great way to see the Wellington waterfront.
Great Bikes- Fabulous Views

The bikes were top quality. The two guides, Tara and Dylan, did an excellent job. Tara was very knowledgeable. It was a very windy day and returning from the ride into the wind was quite difficult. I believe our guides kept us safe in what could have been a dangerous condition. The sites were beautiful. Would highly recommend this excursion.

Tara was a wonderful guide and the bikes were in great condition. We were lucky that there wasn’t a lot of wind that day and the weather was great. She took us around the coast and shared stories and lots of info on Wellington. I had never ridden on an e-bike, and after some warmup in the parking lot, I felt very comfortable on the bike. The e-bike came in handy when we climbed a mountain to get an awesome view of Wellington harbor. Tour included a yummy gelato at the end.
