Lake Dunstan Cycleway: E-Bike Rental & Return ShuttleYou’ll cycle lakeside cliffs from Cromwell to Clyde on an e-bike, pausing for wine at Carrick Winery or coffee afloat on Lake Dunstan. With info boards along the way and a friendly local shuttle back (plus all your gear sorted), you’ll finish tired but grinning — it’s that kind of day.
Lake Dunstan Trail E-Bike: 42km Queenstown Cycle & WineYou ride a premium e-bike from Cromwell back to Clyde along a 42-kilometer trail that hugs Lake Dunstan's edge, passing historic gold-rush buildings and vineyard views. The shuttle handles the morning drive, the app handles navigation, and repair kit and gel seat come with the bike. Wine stops are optional and close to the trail. You finish in Clyde by early afternoon.Is it for me?Right for riders with moderate fitness who want to cover serious distance without arranging their own transport or navigation — the shuttle and app take those off your hands, and the e-assist means the climbing doesn't stop you.
Queenstown: Clutha River E-Bike Loop & Vineyard TrailYou ride a premium e-bike on a scenic loop following the Clutha River and Otago Central Rail Trail, with stops at Alexandra vineyards, cafés, and pubs entirely up to you. The e-assist handles the climbs, the app handles navigation, and the depot handles the bike setup — you just ride at your own pace for a few hours and return when you're done. Includes helmet, pannier bag, and trail map; book ahead for summer dates.Is it for me?Book this if you want to explore Central Otago's river valleys and vineyard country on two wheels without arranging transport or navigation — the e-assist and app mean you can ride at your own pace and stop whenever something catches your eye, which is what makes a half-day loop feel unhurried instead of rushed.

Lake Dunstan Bike Hire & Boat: 42km Ride & Return CruiseYou cycle 42km from Cromwell to Clyde on a trail carved into the rockface, with e-bike assistance available to keep your group together. After reaching Clyde, a shuttle takes you to the Dunstan Explorer boat, which returns you to Cromwell along the same route you just rode, showing you sections of the trail invisible from the water. The day includes all bike gear, a safety briefing, shuttles, and the boat return — you just show up and ride at your own pace.Is it for me?Right for groups or families who want a full-day adventure without navigating logistics themselves — the shuttle timing, boat coordination, and bike setup are all arranged, leaving you to focus on the ride and the view. The e-bike option makes it accessible to mixed fitness levels, which is why it works for ages 15 to nearly 80.
Queenstown to Arrowtown E-Bike Ride with ShuttleThis e-bike activity in Arrowtown pairs a six to seven hour self-guided ride through the Arrow River Bridges Trail and Gibbston Wine Region with accommodation shuttle service from Queenstown and a Moustache e-bike with Bosch motor. The Bosch-powered motor removes the strain of climbing, so you set the pace through some of the most photographed scenery on the South Island, stop at wineries as long as you want, and let the shuttle handle the return. Pickup from your Queenstown accommodation is included; if you stay longer at the wineries, a small extra fee covers pickup from Gibbston instead of Arrowtown.Is it for me?Cruise Arrowtown's winery trails at your own pace with a shuttle from your accommodation and an e-bike that handles the climbs while you enjoy the scenery.
Roxburgh Gorge Trail bike ride with jet boat transferA self-guided bike ride on the Roxburgh Gorge Trail near Queenstown that combines 33km of pedaling with a jet boat transfer through the gorge itself. The operator provides e-bikes, helmets, a safety briefing and return transport to Clyde, so you show up and ride. The boat section takes 30–40 minutes and covers the 12km stretch where no trail is built yet, letting you see the gold rush history from the water while your bikes travel alongside you.Is it for me?Book this if you want to combine biking and boating on one trail—the e-bikes climb the gorge sections while the boat covers the untrailed river stretch, letting you experience both without switching between separate outings.
