See the quaint village of Arrowtown before you ride at your own pace along the stunning Queenstown Trail to the shores of Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown Bay!
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.

Hi Melissa, Thanks so much for your review :) I agree, the E-Bikes are a good choice for this ride! Glad you enjoyed the ride despite your partners fall! Thanks, the Around The Basin Team
We had great fun on this bike ride. Staff member was extremely helpful and helped us with our bikes.
Thanks so much for the review! Glad you enjoyed the day our with us on the trail. Cheers, The Around The Basin Team
Staff were welcoming and very helpful. I wasn’t sure what to expect and it challenged me as I did the ride alone, I recommend doing it with a friend! You will need the encouragement. It was a beautiful autumn day and the scenery was stunning with the added bonus of the autumn leaves in all their colourful beauty. I did find the trail directions hard to follow a couple of times and had to detour once with a wrong turn, probably because I was tired at that point lol. It was a highlight for me to be able to complete this ride and an experience I won’t forget.
Hi Christopher, Sounds like you had quite the adventure! Glad you enjoyed the ride with us. Hopefully see you one day soon with a friend :) Cheers, The Around the Basin team
This was such an amazing experience. The shuttle ride was great, with stories about the area and super funny. The e-bike was great, made light work of some of the hills. Loads of lovely spots to picnic - a great way to spend the day. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for the review Jessica! We are stoked you enjoyed your day out on the trail with us. Hopefully see you again next time you visit :) Cheers, The Around the Basin Team.
The bikes were great, the trails great - highly recommend this

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.
