Tunnel to Mapua
Kenton_J, Apr 2024
Was a great day out and enjoyed the entire trip from Spooners Tunnel to Mapua. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Long but exhilarating ride
Ghalib_A, Feb 2024
Excellent staff and very professional and helpful. The trip from the tunnel to mapua is 60 km, mostly downhill or flat. Beautiful ride through the tunnel, forests, farms, wine country and an estuary though a bit also by a pulp mill. You end at the ferry taking you to Mapua which is a pretty little village with some stores and restaurants. The ride us very long and you need to upgrade to ebikes (price listed us regular bike). We also asked for a gel seat cushion which made a huge difference. Some of our friends did the shorter nelson to mapua trip and I think the tunnel version is better. Not a lot of time to stop at the restaurants to make the last ferry to mapua .. be aware . Only negative point is that the bike route was not always well marked and we made several wrong turnings. Not the fault of the bike company but the markers need to be fixed. There are other bike trails that take you other places so you really need to use the map provided. The ebikes made a big difference for time. We saw some rare flightless Weka birds at the ferry dock which was amazing! Overall fun day and highly recommended!
