Wanaka Bike Tours offers private tour biking experience in Wanaka, perfect for those who prefer small groups of 4 or more. We have been operating cycle tours since 2005 and are recognised as the premium provider in the Wanaka area. In 2023, we were honoured to receive the Traveler's Choice Award from Trip Advisor.

Your experience will begin with a personal shuttle pick-up from your Wanaka accommodation between 9-10 am. We'll drive to the lakeside town of Hawea to start your ride, with an optional 7km extension from Johns Creek for those wanting a longer ride.

En route, we'll enjoy a complimentary coffee and sweet treat from the Pembroke Patisserie. Before you start, we'll provide a bike preparation and safety briefing, along with recommendations for scenic stops.

The Lake Hawea and Wanaka Lakeside Trail ride begins at the edge of Lake Hawea. You'll follow the signs from Hawea to Wanaka along the Hawea River, Upper Clutha, and Te Araroa Trails, leading you back to Wanaka township. This approximately 30km ride is relatively flat and family-friendly on a mountain bike. Depending on your time and energy, you can choose to continue riding around the lakeside or relax at a local cafe or pub.

Our self-guided tours include bike hire, a safety briefing, a helmet, a bike lock, a guide map, on-call breakdown service, and bike collection at the end of the day. Your bike will have a bottle cage for a plastic water bottle (bottle/water not included).

At the end of your ride, we'll collect you from your finishing point and return you to your accommodation.

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

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…
