Meet us in Arrow-town | 15 km | Scenic River Trail | Return Shuttle Only |
Ride Description
This half-day ride package starts by meeting our driver in historic Arrowtown (keep an eye out for one of our shuttle vehicles with a large blue bike symbol on its side). We will get you set up with everything you need, including the bike or E-bike with a helmet, a briefing on the ride, and a trail map.
The ride follows the Arrow River for 15 km of spectacular riverside riding. You’ll cross over six bridges, including the world-famous Kawarau Bungy Bridge, and experience some classic central Otago landscapes. The trail continues into the Gibbston Wine Valley, where you can make your way to a designated cellar door with time to sample the wine. We’ll collect you from there for your shuttle back to Arrowtown.
See twice as much of the trail by riding one way and shuttling back!

Electric Bikes Are Available
We are yet to hear anyone say “I wish I never upgraded to an electric bike”, but we have certainly heard the opposite! Guarantee the good times, keep your group together and have a fun day out there. E-bikes are a game changer and make this ride so much more fun!
A Note On Weather
We usually make a weather call on-the-day, as it often turns out not as bad as the forecast suggests. If you are uncertain in the morning of your ride, give us a call 45 mins – 1 hr before you’re due to meet us and we will discuss options. If we deem the weather is unsuitable for riding, we first try to re-schedule to another time or another day, but if that isn’t possible we would refund your ride (less a 3% merchant fee).
Other Ride Options
There’s more time to explore the Gibbston Wine Valley with this full day ride.
Alternatively, if you’re based in Queenstown, check out the Arrowtown To Gibbston Valley ride, which includes return shuttles.
