Overview

This self-guided Half day ride starts with a shuttle bus departing from Around The Basin’s shop in Queenstown to their bike hub at Arrow Junction (7 km from Arrowtown). There, you'll be fitted with a bike and given all the details for your ride.

The first section covers 6 km (4 miles) of scenic trail, following the Arrow and Kawarau river gorges, crossing the Edgar Swing Bridge, and reaching the iconic Kawarau Bungy Jump Bridge.

In the afternoon, enjoy cycling through the Gibbston Wine Region, where you can stop at as many cellar doors as you like. The full ride covers around 17 km (11 miles) of easy, gravel trail.

The shuttle will pick you up at the designated pick up time given to you on the day from your chosen winery in Gibbston Valley.
