Overview

This self-guided ride begins with a prompt shuttle bus to Arrowtown, where you’ll be fitted with a bike and given all the details for your ride.

The ride follows the stunning Arrow River Trail, crossing the river via a few spectacular bridges. You'll then join the Twin Rivers Trail, which winds alongside the Kawarau and Shotover rivers, with some challenging climbs along the way. The route finishes at Around The Basin's shop in central Queenstown (3 Searle Lane).

With 36 km of hilly terrain, this ride will take around 3.5 to 4 hours. We recommend an electric bike to make the journey more comfortable and enjoyable, helping you tackle the climbs with ease while you take in the beautiful scenery.

• SUMMER (1 Sept - 30 Apr): 9:00 am
• WINTER (1 May - 31 Aug): 10:00 am
