Wonderful Day

A beautiful track to ride along on an autumn's day. Booking an e-bike was an excellent decision for the 30km ride - it suited my age and fitness level. I completed this on my own as a middle-aged woman and highly recommend it to others. If I felt the track was a little narrow at times and was nervous, I just got off my bike and pushed it along. Go for it! A superb activity.

A nice ride from Hawea to Wanaka

We took the shuttle from Wanaka to Hawea. The ride was easy, only flats and downs along the river with fantastic lookout. We recommand e-bike for mum and kids.

A fabulous experience!

This was a wonderful thing to do in Wanaka. Taken by shuttle to Lake Hawea, shown the route back to Wanaka and then left to explore. Good advice given by the tour guide, and the views along the way were exceptional. The bike was great and I loved the ride!

Challenging Ride

The service and communications were great and the ride was even better! Beautiful views as we cycled along the lakes and river back to Wanaka. Give them a try and you’ll be glad you did.
