Queenstown and Gibbston Valley E Bike Adventure

6 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This adventure takes you from Arthurs Point to the Gibbston Valley, connecting two beautifully restored churches via one of NZ's most scenic and culturally rich cycle routes. Unlike typical bike hires, this is a fully curated experience—ride the Wharehuanui Trail beneath the ranges, pass through farmland and luxury golf resorts, explore Arrowtown’s gold rush history and the Chinese Miners’ Village, and glide across dramatic swing bridges into wine country.
What makes it truly unique is the combination of local heritage, premium wine tasting, and seamless e-bike support. Perfect for couples, solo travellers, and active families looking for a half-day escape with historic charm and vineyard indulgence, this tour gives you the freedom to ride at your own pace—with expert support when you need it.
Finish your journey at The Church Cellar Door, a stunning final destination for more hospitality, before we transfer you back. This is not just a ride, it’s an unforgettable story on two wheels.
