Meet your local guide and fellow riders with a pickup from your accommodation between 8:30–9:00am. Then it’s off to scenic Kelvin Heights, where your guide will get you set up and ready to ride.

Your journey begins beneath the willow-lined shores of the Frankton Arm of Lake Wakatipu, with spectacular views of rugged mountain ranges all around. Cruise past the airport and follow the Shotover River before reaching the peaceful shores of Lake Hayes—an artist’s dream—for a full loop of its picturesque trail.

We finish the day with a gentle roll into historic Arrowtown, where charming stone cottages and rich gold rush tales welcome you for the night.

Begin your day in beautiful Arrowtown, riding alongside the Arrow River and crossing two impressive suspension bridges—including the historic Kawarau Bridge, home to the AJ Hackett Bungy Centre.

After a quick stop to soak up the buzz (or maybe even watch a jumper or two!), continue through the stunning Gibbston Valley, riding high above the Kawarau River to a boutique winery, where a vineyard platter lunch awaits.

Later, sit back and enjoy the scenic drive to Clyde, before hopping back on the bike for a cruisy 14km ride beneath shady willows along the Clutha River to Alexandra.

This morning, we drive a short distance down the road to where the spectacular Roxburgh Gorge Cycle Trail awaits. With its dramatic cliffs and sweeping views, this ride is pure magic.

We kick things off with a 10km ride through the gorge, then trade bikes for a scenic jet boat trip from Doctors Point to Shingle Creek—a thrilling way to soak up the scenery from the water.

Back on the bikes, it’s a further 10km to the Roxburgh Dam, where we join the Clutha Gold Trail for a 27km ride to Millers Flat. Along the way, you’ll pedal past lush orchards and historic gold mining relics that tell the tales of a bygone era. We finish the day in Millers Flat before heading to our accommodation in Roxburgh to unwind for the evening.

After breakfast, we take a short drive to Clyde to tackle the spectacular Lake Dunstan Cycle Trail. Get ready for a thrilling ride along cliffside paths carved from solid rock, and cruise beneath the impressive Cairnmuir Terraces — a feat of engineering that protects the Clyde Dam.

One of the trail’s highlights is the “floating” boardwalk that hugs the hillside, with deep blue lake waters below and towering rock faces beside you. As the trail flattens out near Cromwell, we roll past sun-drenched vineyards and olive groves — a peaceful testament to the town that once stood here, now submerged beneath the lake.

We finish the ride cruising through Pisa Moorings to Smiths Way. Then it’s time to relax at our lakeside accommodation and toast to a big day out on the bikes.

This morning, we make our way to the charming settlement of Lake Hawea, where the Hawea River Trail awaits. The ride winds gently through peaceful kānuka groves, lush woodlands, and across open river terraces, linking up with the Newcastle and Upper Clutha tracks all the way to Albert Town.

From here, we cruise the scenic Outlet Track alongside the shimmering Clutha River, finishing up on the shores of stunning Lake Wānaka — a perfect spot to reflect on the journey. What a way to wrap up five incredible days of riding, scenery, and good company. One last bus journey back to Queenstown has us arriving around 4:30pm back at your accommodation.
