★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 212 reviews · 5 hours · from $56Best value

Ride 35 km from historic Arrowtown to Queenstown on scenic river and lake trails with a standard bike or e-bike rental.

“This was the best tour. They were great at explaining the track and then gave you the chance to explore in your own time. Most beautiful scenery I have ever seen while leisurely riding. Recommend the e bikes due to the hills but not a problem when you have one of these bikes. Best trip ever, doing again in a couple of days but different track”
