What you can expect

Enjoy a fantastic days Cycling experience on Central Otago's Lake Dunstan Trail and our premium e-bike hire.

The Lake Dunstan Trail flaunts the best of Central Otago's natural beauty and begins in Cromwell. The trail seeps with history from the bygone gold rush days, and as you cycle the 42km ride (Grade 1-3) alongside the beautiful teal waters of Lake Dunstan, the Kawarau River and the Clutha River it will become clear to see why many early settlers chose to reside in this region.

The Lake Dunstan Trail is one of the most beautiful rides in the Country with absolutely stunning scenery. It is a 'Must Do' activity in the Otago Region. With 450m of 'clip on' trail to the mountainside, an 85m 'Hugo' suspension bridge and two climbs this will be a fantastic day to remember that constantly scores as a 5* experience.

All riders should be physically fit, competent and confident riders. This is a self-guided trip so you can progress along the trail at your own speed, taking frequent stops to enjoy the fantastic views and overall experience. The trail is grade 1-3 with a mixture of gravel trails, boardwalks and dirt tracks.

There is no road access to the trail for the last 25km so you will need to be properly prepared for this ride.

Riders should be a minimum of 140cm, over the age of 12 years and able to use gears on a bike. At times there are narrow trails with steep drops alongside.

We only hire new well maintained premium e-bikes from New Zealand's Sinch brand. This experience is about enjoyment. It's not a race! These bikes will 'support' your riding style up to 32km/h and have a range designed to easily complete this ride. You can ride the e-bikes in 4 different settings with the motor either being in the Eco, Normal or High mode dependent on the level of support that you want. For those riders that are frequent riders at home and don't want an e-bike(!) you can also ride the e-bike in the 'Off' mode - as passionate cyclists ourselves we love our e-bikes and even our most competent riders just love flicking High on up the 2 hills with their family and friends. This experience is about Safety, Fun and Smiles with your party. It is not a race.

76 Northlake Drive, Wānaka, Otago 9305
