Hawea to Wanaka Ebike Hire and Shuttle

The only self-guided bike tour in Wanaka using super comfortable, full suspension Electric Mountain Bikes.

Ebike next to two of NZ’s most beautiful lakes, while also admiring the rugged surrounding mountains.

This self-guided tour starts in Wanaka with us picking you up and transferring you to the start of the track, next to Lake Hawea.

After a bike fitting, instruction on how to operate your ebike, and a safety briefing, you’re off on a beautiful, fun ride back to Wanaka.

Not only will you ride next to two stunning alpine lakes, but you’ll also cruise along next to two amazing crystal-clear NZ rivers.

Make sure to stop and take it all in, look for some trout, and generally chill out.

After all, you have all day.
