The directions and signs are very clear and if you have doubts you can always use the map or look at the location on the map that’s on some of the signs. The e-bike helps a lot and it’s very easy to use. Beautiful sights, totally worth it

The scenery from Arrowtown to lower Shotover were amazing, this was our favourite part. I had been expecting that there were options to be picked up at different points along the way, but this didn't seem to be the case with our package, and I definitely would have upgraded to an ebike to do the full 35km if I'd known this.
Amazing adventure

One of the best adventures I’ve ever had in NZ, safety lane, amazing views and flexibility of time to stop anywhere you want and enjoy any views you like.
100% recommended, and don’t forget to take e-bike to help you when needed.

Spectacular views

The views were absolutely incredible! Arrowtown is quaint little town with shops and cafes, and we were lucky to go on a day they had a farmers market. The biking itself was more challenging than we expected, so I recommend you come prepared and pack snacks so you can take multiple breaks along the way. We did come across someone that had fallen along the trail and their face was bleeding and incredibly swollen, so being careful is also a must!

When we had trouble on the trail, the bike company picked us up which we appreciated. Wonderful day and beautiful trails.
Great ride. Would do again.

Beautiful ride. We did the half day but it wasn’t enough time to stop and enjoy the views. Next time we will do a full day so we’re not rushing to back before close.
