Be rewarded with some of the most majestic views in New Zealand on this self-guided bike ride from Arrowtown to Queenstown. You will ride on a purpose-built bike trail the entire way, which follows 3 rivers and takes you across stunning scenic bridges. A ride not to be missed!
Witness nature putting on a brilliant show during a self-guided bike ride from Arrowtown to Queenstown. After checking in, in the Queenstown CBD, you will meet your local driver who will take you on a 25 minute scenic drive to Arrowtown. Once there, you'll get fitted to your bike and given a map, safety briefing and all the trail tips needed. You're most welcome to spend some leisure time exploring the charming historic village of Arrowtown, perhaps grabbing a coffee or brunch before setting off on your adventure. You'll follow the Arrow River Bridges Trail toward Queenstown, an undulating path with some uphill sections, but is mostly downhill. As you cruise along the path, it won't be hard to admire some of the most magical views in New Zealand, from river gorges, mountains and scenic bridges. Be sure to stop off along the way to truly drink up the atmosphere.
You've got all day to make it back to Queenstown, so make it as relaxed or upbeat as you like. You'll be riding along a purpose-built riding trail the entire way, so you won't ever have to compete with any vehicles. If you're feeling energetic, you may like to take a diversion to the Kawarau Bungy Bridge, or visit a Gibbston Winery for a quick lunch, before following the trail along the Kawarau River back to Lake Wakatipu and into our Queenstown shop.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
