The Ultimate Queenstown Ride

Itinerary Details

1. Day 1Arrowtown to Queenstown

   Check in to the shop at 8:50am for a prompt 9:00am departure.

   On your first day, you'll go on a 25-minute shuttle ride from the shop in Queenstown to Arrowtown, one of New Zealand's most picturesque towns. Once a historic settlement during the Gold Rush Era, Arrowtown offers the perfect opportunity to explore and grab a coffee to kickstart your day. After fitting you to your bike or E-bike and providing trail tips and a map, you'll set off on this independent adventure ride.

   
   The route begins by tracing the willow-lined banks of the Arrow River toward the Morven Ferry, where you'll cross the river via several stunning bridges. Following this, you'll join the Twin Rivers Trail, which runs alongside the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers, leading you to the shores of Lake Whakatipu. The final stretch of the ride is a gentle, scenic trail along the lake's edge, culminating at Queenstown Bay, where you can return your bike.
