Rugged beauty that can only be seen by bike. Loved it! - My very favourite day in New Zealand thus far was spent with NZ bike trails. Luke was fantastic at making sure we were, safe, comfortable and knew our route before sending us on our way. What an incredible ride!! Definitely recommend the E-bikes as there are a few serious climbs, and very little shade. It's a memory that will last a lifetime.

Great Ride with Great People - Both David and Ian both look after you and nothing was a problem for them. Great set up which made for an enjoyable ride and a great experience. A stunning part of the country and we will be back again to explore other trails that they do

A great day out and well worth it - The cycle was a great day and you got to see some stunning scenery along the way. Plus time to explore Clyde which was an added bonus. The bikes were in great condition. Luke was a fantastic host also. I would recommend using NZ Bike Trails to anyone and this trip.

Luke was a fabulous tour operator and enabled us to have a fantastic day. - We are just back from a spectacular bike ride from Cromwell to Clyde and have had an amazing day. We would like to express our thanks and gratitude to Luke for looking after us so well from start to finish. He explained everything so clearly at this mornings briefing which gave us great confidence to embark on the ride. When we met him in Clyde he was very welcoming and pleased for us that we completed our ride and lovely that he took photos to mark our accomplishment. We really liked his quiet confidence and friendly nature without him being ott like some tour guides we’ve had in the past. Thank you Luke for a perfect day.

Lake Dunstan Cycleway on ebikes - best way to take in the views & feel the fresh air - Ian was ready for us at the pickup point with e-bikes & helmuts ready to go. He gave us plenty of time to get to know the bikes and practice before heading off, and some tips for stops along the way. He met us a short way into the journey to make sure all was going smoothly. Then he met our group (8 in total) at the end, allowed us time for a coffee and bite to eat before driving us back to the pickup point. He is a lovely guy with a lot of local knowledge. The trail is breathtaking in many places and whilst a lot of it is an easy ride there are a few steep challenging areas - those moments we were grateful to have chosen the e-bike option. Carrick Winery is a must stop point along the way - we had coffee and a yummy slice while looking out to the lake from their outdoor grass area. We had a fabulous day and recommend NZ Biketrails for their organisation, friendliness and safety. Thanks guys.

If you like biking, this trip is for you! - What an amazing cycling trail...world class. Stunning scenery . A fantastic winery on the route. Trip was 43 km from Cromwell to Clyde. The e-bike's from NZ Bike Trails were perfect for the gravel path conditions. Ian from NZ Bike Trails was excellent. He got us fitted for our bikes and gave us route maps and advice, and picked us up in Clyde and shuttled us back to Cromwell, providing interesting local information and history along the way. Be aware that some sections of the trail are a bit technical, not for the inexperienced rider. You won't regret taking an e-bike, rather than a standard bike.

Lake Dunstan trail - We rode e-bikes and they made the hills easier, so we could really enjoy the ride. The scenery is absolutely stunning the whole way—lake, cliffs, and wide open views. The bike operator was professional, friendly, and very helpful, which made the day completely stress-free. Highly recommend this trail, especially with e-bikes!
