Ride Description
This full day, self-guided ride package starts by meeting our driver in Arrowtown. Look out for one of our fleet of shuttle vehicles (with a large blue bike symbol on its side) when we arrive. We will get you set up with all the tools you need for the day: the bike or E-bike, a helmet, a briefing on the ride, and a trail map. You’ll then have time to explore the historic town and grab a coffee to fuel your day.
From Arrowtown the trail follows the beautiful Arrow and Kawarau rivers to the Kawarau Suspension Bridge – home of the world’s first bungy jump. From there spend the afternoon biking at your leisure along the Gibbston River Trail, visiting as many of the cellar doors as you want. We’ll pick you up from your winery of choice (4:30 PM in summer or 4:00 PM in winter) and shuttle you back to Arrowtown.
This ride is easy mountain biking on wide, gravel trails. It’s approximately 25 km from Arrowtown to the end of the Gibbston River Trail, though there are options to ride shorter than this if you wish.
Ride one way and see twice as much – way better than an out-and-back!
E-Bikes Are Recommended
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.
