Prepare for a great time out exploring the Queenstown trails!
Check in to that meeting point in central Queenstown where you'll be met by local knowledgeable guides and provided with valuable information about the trail before you head out on a scenic 25-minute drive to Arrowtown.
Once in Arrowtown, you will be fitted to your bike, given trail tips, a map and safety briefing before you are set free on your adventure!
You may choose to enjoy a pre-ride coffee or brunch and a look around the quaint village of Arrowtown before setting off to ride at your leisure along the Arrow River Bridges Trail toward Morven Ferry Intersection. From here either take a diversion to the Kawarau Bungy or follow the Twin Rivers Trail along the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers to the shores of Lake Wakatipu and onward to Queenstown Bay where you can return your bike.
This is a great day out exploring Queenstown and the Queenstown Trail. This trail is a purpose built off-road biking trail. Average biking time is 4 hours, allow longer if you go to Bungy and if you want to enjoy stops along the way.
Recommended for fit, confident and regular riders. Children must be minimum of 12 years old.

Enjoyable day.
The staff, the scenery, the experience was truly fantastic! The only negative for me was that my bike was a mountain ebike and I found it quite uncomfortable to ride. I’m would rather have a cruiser so I’m sitting more upright, rather than leaned over. My husband didn’t have a problem with it tho. Still didn’t stop me from enjoying the ride and would do it again.

Hi Gabrielle, thanks for your review. Sorry to hear you were uncomfortable on the electric bikes. We do have cruiser bikes available so if you come out with us again let us know and we can provide you with these so your ride is more comfortable. We are stoked you enjoyed the rest of the ride though! Cheers, Izzy from Around The Basin.

Great ride - even in rainy June
Lovely outing despite the rain. Would recommend VERY warm foot and hand gear for a rainy June day.

Great ride
We throughly enjoyed the ride using ebikes great scenery. We found the ride easy but the signage was very poor for out of Townes. The instructions from the company were great but they also warned us about going off the trail which we did several times due to poor signage. The signs need to say queens town this way not some place we had never heard of. Overall highly recomended.

Hi Noel, Thanks for your review and glad you had a good ride! Sorry that you found the signage poor. These are done by the Queenstown Trail Network and designed to be used alongside our map we give you (that has the place names on you may not have heard of), and sometimes people miss some signs as they're distracted by the scenery! But thank you for your feed back as it is always good to be aware of, we will try and make sure that the trail stays well marked. Thanks, Louise at Around The Basin

WOW!
This was the most spectacular and amazing experience!!! Staff were fabulous and very friendly, clear and concise. If you can, GET THE E-BIKE!!! I really wanted a good workout and almost chose to get the regular mountain bike, but I am so happy I got the e-bike. You still have to pedal and the hills definitely get your legs working hard. I would recommend bringing layers and a small first aid kit. My boyfriend had an unfortunate fall, but luckily I was equipped with some gauze, wipes and bandaids.
