Itinerary

  • Wellington Railway Station

    We'll pick you up at either 9.15am from port (cruise ship guests only) or 9.30am from Wellington Station and shuttle you to the start of the trail at either Maymorn or Kaitoke (your choice)

    1 hour

  • N/A

    Optional start point for the 25-35km, slightly more challenging ride

    1 hour

  • N/A

    Start point for the 18-28km ride at Kaitoke, recommended for those less confident or wanting to cruise and take their time. On the trail, you’ll start by cycling through the native bird-filled Pakuratahi Forest. Follow an old railway line over bridges and through tunnels, while pausing, if you like, to check out information stations detailing the enormous task of constructing the “Fell” railway system - a first for New Zealand at the time, and one of only a few around the world. Once you reach the summit, you will stop for a picnic lunch on a large grassy plateau next to the remnants of a historic station. After lunch, enjoy an exhilarating (but easily controllable!) descent to Cross Creek in the Wairarapa, with views of some of New Zealand’s stunning farming heartland.

    3 hours

  • Wairarapa

    We'll pick you up at Cross Creek in the Wairarapa, before we shuttle you back over the Remutaka ranges, down the Hutt Valley and back to Wellington Station (arriving approx. 3.30-3.45pm) or Wellington Port (cruise ship guests only, arriving approx. 3.45-4.00pm). Please note: if you are on a cruise ship, we pick you up direct from the Port at 9.15am. We cannot wait for late arrivals - make sure you are there on time otherwise the shuttle will leave without you! We arrive back at Port between 3.45pm - 4pm. Please check that your sailing times allow for these timings, we will not be held responsible if you miss your boat!

A real taste of NZ nature trails, exploring the railway heritage and mountains of the Upper Hutt region

Bike ride

Published on Feb, 2025

Great company. Always kept in touch. Guide was informative. Reassuring to know they had backup plans in place (not that they were needed-everything was well organised).

Must try

Published on Jan, 2025

It’s very easy, hop on the bus n it takes me directly to the trail. Everything is taken care of, bike water snack safety. It was my first time going into a bike trail, Laura was great and assuring. The scenery was beautiful, last part of trail was a bit tough for me. Overall it’s a great experience, it was worth it!

Great ride with variety

Published on Jan, 2025

Treacherous (fun) at end. Mountains biking vs. rail bed was not expected. We loved the forest, swinging bridge and tunnels.

Highly. Recommend

Published on Apr, 2024

In spite of minor mix up with their shuttle going off and leaving us, we had a wonderful fantastic day they had us get an Uber ride to the bike shop and then reimbursed us for the Uber ride. Isaac did the great job of fitting us with bikes and how much etc the bikes were in excellent shape period I can't say enough about the trail it was absolutely gorgeous we took e-bikes but I think we could easily have done regular bikes. Tickets to a wonderful little restaurant in featherton for lunch and then took us to the boat afterwards period Isaac was so pleasant and so easy to work with. Several places along the route to stop for a break period bathroom facilities at the beginning of the trail. Thank you for a wonderful day!
