Wanaka Bike Tours have been operating cycle tours since 2005 and have been recognized as the premium provider of cycle tours in the Wanaka area.  In 2023 we were privileged to be awarded the Traveler's Choice Award by Trip Advisor.  

Our Lake Hawea to Lake Wanaka experience will take you around 3-hrs on a standard mountain bike or 2.5-hrs using an e-bike.  The day starts with our experienced local driver who will collect you from outside the Wanaka iSite and deliver you directly to the start at the Te Araroa Track alongside the lake at Lake Hawea. 

Our self-guided tour starts you right at the edge of Lake Hawea where you will follow the signs from Hawea to Wanaka alongside the Hawea River trail, the Upper Clutha Trail and the Te Araroa Trail which leads you back on cycle paths into the Wanaka township.  This ride is approximately a 30km ride which on a mountain bike is a relatively flat family friendly ride.  Time and energy permitting you can decide if you would like to continue riding further around the lakeside or just park yourself up outside the local cafes and pubs.

All of our self-guided tours include the basics such as bike hire (of course), a safety briefing, a helmet, a bike lock, an guide map, on-call breakdown (just in case) and we will of course pick up the bike at the end of the day. Your bike will have a bottle cage which a plastic water bottle (bottle/water not included). 

Wanaka Bike Tours offer the extended add-on extra for the “Gladstone Track” should you want to ride further (6.5km). This option is available in the extras section.

Our normal schedule each day has us departing at 10:30am or 1:00pm.  In the summer months we also offer 08:30am.

Have a large group of 10 or more ?  We can also work with you to offer custom tours for large groups, just send us an email and we will see how we can help.

Pre-bookings are essential. If you require more details please call/or email us directly at  info@wanakabiketours.co.nz or +64 3 443 6363.

Please note: the famous (in Wanaka) Pembroke Patisserie in Albert Town (normally closes at 2pm).  Alternatively you can find refreshments at the Albie Tavern next door or a local takeaway also close by.   If you are hungry on the way out, then just talk with our driver and he can stop quickly on the way so you can pack your backpack with goodies. The Hook Wanaka is open Wednesday through to Sunday.

Please remember to bring water, a backpack, sunscreen and mobile phone.  We will provide you a bike that has been well maintained and raring to go…


RIDING WITH SMALL CHILDREN

Small children using kids bikes or being towed with the bike trailer will find a small section of the trail hard to navigate.  We strongly suggest this small section is either bypassed (our driver will show you how to do this) or the kids dismount and walk through this bumpy section.  The local council are working on upgrading this section, however, we can not guarantee this section is upgraded before your ride.  The rest of the ride is perfectly suited to families with young children...
