Cromwell: Lake Dunstan Trail Bike Rental and Luxury Shuttle

Dunstan Trail Guided Bike Ride from Cromwell

This one-day cycling experience on the Lake Dunstan Trail starts in Cromwell, 45-60 minutes from Queenstown or Wanaka, suitable for confident riders aged eight and over.

Overview

Meet the nzbiketrails team in Cromwell for a route briefing, safety overview, and bike introduction before cycling 42km from Cromwell to Clyde. The trail is graded 1-3 with compact gravel surfaces and two 150m climbs. E-bikes are recommended to assist with climbs and allow the group to stay together. The ride lasts about 2.5 hours of cycling time, including crossing engineered features such as 450m of clip-ons and the 85m Hugo suspension bridge.

Along the way, riders can stop briefly at Carrick Winery and Burger Afloat for refreshments. After reaching Clyde, there is time for a quick drink before a luxury shuttle returns riders to Cromwell. Riders should be confident on a bike, taller than 130cm and aged eight years or older, with younger riders having experience changing gears.
