Anmeldelser af Remutaka Rail Trail

From the very first communication directly with Issac at Wildfinder until we were dropped off after our trip, we experienced nothing but outstanding support. Tried booking super early (started planning/booking things for this trip back in February), and the dates we wished weren’t coming up as available. I reached out just to confirm that there wasn’t a problem and was told not to worry, that window hadn’t opened for booking yet, but they would reach out and let us know when it did. I received an email a month or so later when the booking window opened and booked within minutes of receiving it. Additional comms, including the night before our ride just to confirm things were still on with forecast winds, were answered immediately. Pickup was right on time and we had a very pleasant ride out to the trail site, chatting with a fellow rider and our driver, Tom. The bikes, equipment and a (very good) boxed lunch were prepped and ready to go. After a very thorough brief, we were on our way. The rail trail is amazing. The views and signs along the way really tied the history of the railroad and the area together. If you are a rail fan, you can help but enjoy this ride, especially the ruins at Summit. The wind was pretty strong at some points, but nothing we couldn’t handle. Pickup at our turnaround point (Cross Creek Carpark) was great and everything on the return was just as smooth and pleasant. The folks at Wildfinder did an outstanding job, from planning, booking through execution. You can tell that they really do care and enjoy what they are doing. I maybe should have mentioned this in the beginnning, but this was our first time doing an e-bike trail ride and my wife did have a couple of “moments.” Nothing serious, just a few bruises. Our last comms with Issac regarding our trip? Asking if my wife was alright. These guys really care about your experience. What an amazing experience with an amazing company and I can’t recommend them enough.

Great ride and an easy track thanks to the pedal assist eBikes

We did the 3-day loop trip including the coastal piece from Ocean Beach to Orongorongo. We had excellent bikes, packed lunches, accommodation and a very well put together map package for self-guiding. The Wildfinder crew are super. We had brought a head torch for the tunnels, but that was unnecessary as all bikes had their own one mounted on the handlebar which is much better. Definitely get comfortable with walk mode on the e-bike as you will need it during the last kms along the beach. It's the hardest section and wouldn't be for everyone, but if you like a challenge or are a cyclist leave yourself enough time and I really enjoyed the full ride.

Wonderful! Definitely recommend! Beautiful ride, good lunch, great communication. This was our favorite experience in New Zealand.

Excellent and very fun full-day experience! We were picked up on time at 9:30 am at the Wellington Railway station and driven about 30 minutes to Kaitoke where we were outfitted with our bikes, helmets and a fabulous box lunch and water before we hit the beautiful trail. The scenery was gorgeous, just a few other bikers so we often felt we were all alone. Several tunnels and the swinging bridge were quite fun! Picked up in Featherston and driven back to Wellington arriving around 3pm.

What a great ride and operator, on time pick up from station and then a 45 minute drive to the start of the trail. Bikes were excellent, as was the boxed lunch. The self guided cycle is easy to follow with some stunning views, tunnels, swinging bridge and best of all an exhilarating downhill finale. Thoroughly enjoyed the cycle and the e-bikes made the hills easy. Highly recommend you book this trip, it was fun and gives you a buzz when you get to the car park at the end of trail, great company and people.

This was truly amazing. Such beautiful natural landscapes, tunnels and bridges to encounter. All make it for such an exciting ride. Using the e-bikes made it a little easier but of course the option to use the power of the legs. Alex was very helpful and made sure we were equipped with the knowledge and goods to enjoy this ride. She was very kind. Definitely an activity to put on the bucket list

Incredible experience all around. Would recommend it to those who love biking and the beauty of the outdoors. Our tour guide, Isaac was the best and took good care of us.

Awesome adventure thru a beautiful area! Thanks to Sam we were set up for a safe & super fun ride and a picnic lunch.

We really enjoyed biking through the hills on the e-bike. We saw nature up close and also biked into a nearby town. The boxed lunch provided as part of the tour was delicious!
