Itinerary Details

Plan for the Day

Start with a 25-minute shuttle ride from the Tour Operator's shop to Arrowtown, a historic settlement from the Gold Rush era. Take some time to explore the town or grab a coffee before gearing up with a bike, map, and trail tips for your self-guided adventure.

The route begins by following the Arrow River Trail downstream to the Morven Ferry, crossing the river on picturesque bridges. Then, you'll join the Twin Rivers Trail, tracing the Kawarau and Shotover rivers to the shores of Lake Whakatipu. Enjoy stunning alpine vistas as you ride along the foothills of The Remarkables mountains. The final stretch is a leisurely trail along the lake's edge, passing cafes and a brewery before returning to our shop in central Queenstown.

This ride features wide, gravel trails graded as 2 or 3 and covers a minimum distance of 35 km with some moderate hills. It's recommended for confident and capable riders.
