Best way to see Wellington

Laura_S, Apr 2024

An outstanding company! The bikes are well maintained. We biked 40 km around scenic Wellington. The staff at the bike shop couldn’t have been more helpful. The best way to see Wellington with limited time. We came in on a cruise and booked 3 months ahead.

Highly Recommend

Andrew_C, Mar 2024

Great experience and the staff were very friendly and provided a suggested map route to cycle. It was a very scenic ride! Highly recommend, but dress warm and note weather conditions before you go!

Haven't ridden in over 30 years, you can do it - trust me!

Michael_S, Mar 2024

Brilliant way to see Wellington. Loved our 40klm hike along the coastline. Well worth it considering I have not ridden a bike for over 30 years, the e-bike made it so much easier to get back on!

Spectacular biking in Wellington

Susan_D, Mar 2024

Fantastic day biking in Wellington. We went 25-30 miles, following the ocean the whole way. It was really spectacular. Ocean views, waves, coffee spots along the way.

Go for it!

Grant_S, Mar 2024

Nice shop on the wharf, bikes in good condition, rode everywhere 5+ hrs, had great weather. Hill climbing is a breeze.

A Great Adventure for 4 Seniors!

Mark_W, Mar 2024

We persevered through high winds and rain, still we loved this adventure! Nice bikes, great route, and great help from Liam.

Fun Day in Wellington With Friends!!

Carol_K, Mar 2024

A wonderful day in Wellington with friends riding bikes. Liam was a huge help getting ready for our bike ride. He was very helpful with instructions, encouragement and a map. Well worth the money.

Great way to see Wellington

Ken_B, Feb 2024

It was a windy day (Windy Welly), and we were concerned walking from our cruise ship it may not have been a good idea. Short walk from the ship dock along the promenade. Staff very helpful with maps/routes to take, and where not to go which was one area along the Oceanside. The BAY and city were very Rideable. We ventured off into some neighborhoods in the Weta Workshop stumbled across a neighborhood cafe, enjoyed conversation with the locals. Ride to some peaks for great views. There were road bikers and non-riders in our party of 4, the bikes were very easy to ride, great condition, locks provided and batteries were secured/locked to the bikes as well. We were in and out of several tourist spots, restaurants and waterholes. No issues at all, plenty of power and distance from these e-bikes. Pay attention to the brief intro for operation (turning on the battery/ NO FEET on the pedals so turn on before you get on the bike!! ) and shift changing the gears.

Top notch

Denise_L, Feb 2024

Did not get to dothis excursion but went by to see operation and it was top notch. Would have been a great experience.

Biking in the sun

Ben_H, Jan 2024

First time on an electric bike. Great fun. Made the wind seem like nothing. Would recommend. Very friendly team made the experience easy. Worth the money.

Beautiful Scenery

Darren_M, Jan 2024

Fantastic scenery around the Wellington Sea wall, highly recommend this tour! Some very nice eating places and it’s one of the top cities of the world to rent a bike. Get the electric bike as Wellington is very windy.

Great day exploring

Michelle_T, Jan 2024

The full day gave us a great opportunity to really explore the Mirimar peninsula, essentially a flat ride, although the wind did make it a bit challenging in some sections. Very helpful staff, ensuring we were given some great riding options to choose.

One of the favorite things I did on this month long trip

Sharon_G, Apr 2023

Beautiful drive all along the shoreline. Numerous places to stop for photos, food and fun. The bikes were well maintained. Ed were provided a map and suggestions on how we might attack the day. We are in our 60’s and 70’s and we had no trouble operating these e bikes which we tackled for the first time. (You can teach old dogs new tricks). A wonderful way to explore Wellington. Highly recommend this company and this tour.

Freedom to explore all...

Cathy_U, Mar 2023

Freedom to explore all the fun roads and the beautiful weather. We had easy bikes to ride and control.

Highly recommend this activity - great for couples and families with teens.

Reme_P, Feb 2023

The staff were great. They instructed us on the use and care of the bike and its computer, provided advice and locks for securing the bikes, shared information about road closures, and suggested a nice ride route. The bikes worked flawlessly with plenty of options for the amount of peddle assist. We ran into some high winds (windyiest city in the world) and really appreciated the Turbo mode. After several hours of riding, the bikes still had most of their battery life still available. I'd recommend not being shy about how much assist you use.. its your vacation after all, so don't work too hard!

Wonderful Service

MICHAEL_W, Feb 2023

Easy, Wonderful pickup and the bicycles were in excellent working condition. Highly recommend this provider

Very smooth experience. I...

Gabrielle_P, Feb 2023

Very smooth experience. I picked up my bike, they helped me adjust the helmet & adjusted the seat for me. I was given a very easy to read map, they pointed out highlights & interesting things to see. A highlight of my trip.

Ride Easy

Jackie_M, Feb 2023

Awesome way to get around Wellington, our bikes were ready when we arrived, the whole process was simple and fun

Beautiful ride through the wine country

Sally_P, Feb 2023

The landscape was gorgeous, the trails well marked and in good shape, and the vineyards were very pleasant. Tony, our driver was friendly, informative, and very helpful. I would highly recommend this trip.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hello, it sounds like this isn't a review of our services but of another tour! We're based in Wellington city. If possible, it'd be great if you can remove the review. I am glad you had a good time, riding through the vines, though! Ryan

Wellington Loop

DrJeff_H, Feb 2023

53 km ride allowed us to see a lot of sites that were beautiful, especially along the coast. Excellent bikes and experience.
