4.6 star rating 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.

39km of mountain biking trail with incredible scenery

Shuttle from Days Bay back to Wellington (5.30pm) or ferry pass back to Wellington CBD

Collected from your Wellington doorstep at 9am, take a shuttle over the Rimutaka’s and down to Ocean Beach in the Wairarapa. You’ll be fitted with a bike and helmet, customised to your height and riding preferences.

Jump on your bike and head around the coast for an epic ride to Days Bay via Orongorongo for a total of 39km. The locals have seen orca, dolphins and seals from the trail and the views are stunning!

The trail will take you to Pencarrow’s lakes and lighthouses for one of the most beautiful spots in the country looking back across the harbour toward Wellington.

Though beautiful and one of the highlights of the Rimutaka Cycle Trail, it is quite a rugged section of the trail and very good fitness levels are required.
