Fun E-bike Experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Dave was fantastic. He picked us up at the Port and dropped us off after our E-bike experience. The E-bikes were very good. Since it was chilly and rainy we ate a hot lunch in Featherton instead of our packed lunch.

One of the best experiences we’ve had!

Published on Apr, 2024

This was an awesome experience start to finish! Isaac picked us up right next to the boat and we headed up the mountain. We got great instructions on how to use the e-bikes and headed out with the lunch, snack and water that was provided. We had lunch at the summit and had the whole thing to ourselves. The only item I would want people to know is that the last 2 km are a little rustic/rough and we started to question if we had gone the right way but we stuck with Issac’s instructions and it all worked out. I would definitely recommend this trip, the views were spectacular!

Great ride near Wellington

Published on Mar, 2024

A litlte confusing getting off the ship as we didn't know they could pick us up right there on the pier but the staff were VERY responsive and helpful. The bikes were great and the ride to the starting point was good. Beautiful trip through the trail, across the swinging bridge and along the river. Overall it was a really fun day and we would highly recommend it.

Highly recommend

Published on Feb, 2024

Even though it rained most of the ride, it was great! All equipment and organization was perfect. The lunch was very good and the scenery was awesome.

Breathtaking views

Published on Feb, 2024

Amazing tour!! Totally exceeded our expectations!! Dave was fantastic to work with from start to finish! The views were breathtaking and the e-bikes were in great condition. Can’t say enough good things about this tour, would do over again in a heartbeat. If you get the chance, book this tour!!
