Very enjoyable experience - This was our second ride with David and it was as good as, if not better than, the first. David has an extensive knowledge of local history (and local patisseries) which makes the shuttle to the start of the ride very interesting. The bikes are very good quality and, with David’s tuition, very easy to ride. We would not hesitate to recommend NZtrailbikes

Great day, great ride, great views. A must for a Wanaka stay - The whole experience, from start to finish, was fantastic. The drive out to the start of the ride was informative as James explained to us the route for the day. The ride was amazing with some breathtaking views. There are plenty of stops along the way for photo opportunities. Stopping at the bakery for lunch is a must. Very nice food. Just a really lovely, relaxing day. I highly recommend the e-bike, it makes it an easier ride. 100% a great experience 😊

Best way to see Wanaka - David is a top lad who will ensure a great day for you out on your bike trail around wanaka. Incredible scenery and the trail is easy enough for someone with less experience.

NZ Bike Trails is a Wanaka Must Do! - Our e-bike experience was great. We reserved the evening before but had to call the office due to a credit card issue. This was no problem and our reservation was quickly confirmed. The next day we met Dave in Wanaka and he loaded us and 6 others in the van. On the way to the departure point Dave provided all kinds of valuable information about our trip, landmarks, places to visit etc. At departure we were each given an appropriately sized bike, helmet and lock. These were the best e-bikes we’ve used on our 6 week NZ trip. Definitely top notch. The trip back to Wanaka was beautiful and the trails were quiet and in good shape. We spent another hour riding near Wanaka before calling Dave to come and retrieve the bikes. He was at the meeting spot in 5 minutes. NZBike Trails is a well oiled machine that went beyond to please their customers and we’d use them in a heart beat if we’re back in the area.

Breathtaking views - This was an excellent way to see the gorgeous scenery in and around Wanaka. The e-bikes were in great condition and transportation was seemless. I highly recommend for couples or families with slightly older children. You need to be competent on a bike and able to navigate bike path traffic.

Spectacular views - We had a great time on this tour hosted by David. It was the most amazing bike trail that allowed us to ride alongside the lake and river with unreal views!

Beautiful views, but can be challenging - We had a good experience with this biking tour. It is good value, considering that you can have a bike for most of the day. The information online probably understates how challenging this would be for a beginner, though. If you have no experience mountain biking, you may find some of the inclines, bumpy tracks, and narrow paths difficult. There is an option to be picked up by the van along the way – this certainly makes it more doable. Pembroke Patisserie in Albert Town would be a good place to finish for some (make sure to get there before they close, though). Our tour guide was friendly, informative, and responsive.

Great bike ride - We had a terrific time on the trail today. All the arrangements were easy to follow and David was very informative on the drive out to Hawea Lake. The trail was very scenic with a few sections a bit more testing for two 73yr olds, but we managed to complete it unscathed! The bikes were superb and that made the trip special. Thanks guys, we loved it.
