What To Expect

Additional Info

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • For your enjoyment and safety, groups are small and personal - so a maximum of 4 riders per group, plus friendly guide
  • Minimum rider height is 5 foot (152cm)

  • Whilst experience riding an electric bike is not necessary (we'll provide an orientation and we'll do a test ride to make sure you're comfortable before we head off), you must of course be able to ride a bike! If you haven't ridden in a while, for your enjoyment/safety and that of your fellow riders, we strongly recommend you have a practice riding at home before your visit to Auckland. As well as riding on our wonderful cycleways, we will of course be riding in the road at times (to get to the good places!). Riding in traffic is a dynamic environment, so you will need to be comfortable riding in the road in order to enjoy the tour. And Auckland's volcanic past means that there a quite few hills to go up and down - the eBikes make going up easy, but you'll obviously need to be able to ride downhill!
  • Closed toe shoes are required. Sports gear not necessary - casual clothes are fine but dress to the conditions please.
  • Free storage available for small bags at the city centre departure point.

  • Not recommended for pregnant travelers
  • No heart problems or other serious medical conditions
  • Most travelers can participate
  • We recommend you bring sunscreen - the sun in NZ can be very harsh!
  • You may wish to bring a bottle of water with you for the ride. You can store this in the bag on your bike. There is also a drinking fountain near our departure point where you can fill your water bottle.
  • This tour/activity will have a maximum of 4 travelers

Amazing way to see Auckland
Keryn_S, Sep 2023
My brother and I had an amazing time on the night tour on our first night in Auckland. We were fortunate to be the only ones in our tour and our guide Carson was amazing and provided local tips on things to do and answered all our questions. We had a headpiece that allowed us to hear our guide throughout the journey which was great! We traveled around 16km through Auckland and our guide took lots of photos and information on Auckland on our trip. Highly recommend this tour for anyone and a great way to get your bearings of the city and cover a lot of key places in Auckland.

Thanks so much for the review Keryn. The City Lights tours is fun, eh? And glad you enjoyed the audio - we find its a great way of enhancing the ride, allowing us to give commentary along the way (rather than just at the stops) and also allowing us to give any necessary info about riding conditions/the route, to keep our riders safe and sound 👍🏻

Our tour guide Eddie was amazing he was so nice and help us with our first time on e-bikes. He even sent us recommendations of places to see on our day on one of New Zealand’s many islands! He really made the tour amazing and personalized it for us!!

Wonderful Tour!

I absolutely loved this tour! This ended up just being my husband and I with Eddie who was fantastic. He took some photos, gave clear directions, taught us a lot about New Zealand and patiently answered our questions. The electric bikes were fun to ride and the speaker on our ears during the ride let us clearly hear Eddie's commentary. Auckland is a pretty city and especially magical when light up for the night. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat, we had a great time!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thanks Tawny - it was a pleasure riding around the city with you both!
