Ride an e-bike from historic Arrowtown to Queenstown on scenic river trails, with mountain views, bike pickup, and a shuttle included.

Tour guide Petra was very professional and did her best to assist us whenever we got lost. The blue-green river, ravines and bridges of Allentown and the surrounding region were dazzling. Witnessed some very entertaining bungee jumping activity! After the bike trek, we visited a cozy winery that served scrumptious, locally made cheeses.”
