Outstanding and amazing! A very well groomed trail. The clip on sections were one-way only so they weren't as intimidating as I had anticipated. Breathtaking views. The e-bike made it doable for me; I am not a regular cyclist. Great people! A truly great experience.

The Dunstan Trail trip was very well organised and ran like clockwork. Max’s explanation of the bikes and the route were crystal clear and the trail was in very good condition. Thoroughly recommend the ride.
Luke was an incredible guide who thoroughly explained the trail we were taking and everything we needed to know about the bikes. We were eager to get going and I was like "C'mon- do we need all this info?" but yes. We did! He anticipated everything we needed to know along the trail. It was more rigorous than we expected so we were super glad to have opted for the e-bikes. Beautiful biking- The topography, the well groomed trail, the gorgeous winery that is a great place to stop in the beginning to get food and hot coffee and wine if you are so inclined. It was warm, classy and welcoming! The pub at the end was also super friendly- cold beer and expansive menu- and you really feel you earned a treat after having biked 43k! It was a wonderful experience and worth the money! Opt to take the boat ride back with Andrew if you can. He is 100% kiwi and super well informed about the history of the area and is engaging and entertaining.
Super experience and above any expectation. The guides Luke (biking) and Andrew (boating) were great and helpfull and did explain a lot of the surrounding and history. Thanks we dont forget this (we have the pictures😉)
We were picked up on time, the bikes were top fine, the bike path quite extraordinary! With the boat back rewarded again with a different view of the tour
Great experience, Luke was a wonderful host. He explained everything in detail, was extremely friendly and approachable. Amazing ride.
We booked from Cromwell to Clyde The Lake Dunstan trail and it was amazing. Such a well maintained trail with some slightly challenging parts but always very good to manage (for two 60+ persons). NZbiketrails takes very good care of its customers. Although it was self guided which we prefer we knew that they would help in case something happened. Highly recommended!
It was a great bike ride. The route on the gravel paths was good to cycle, and the views were fantastic. Highly recommended. Compliments to David and Luke for the fine guidance.
The best day out!!!! These guys were on point in everything, James was great as our driver - and the Dunstan Trail is a MUST DO! We loved the whole experience!
We had the best ride , our guide James was very informative and helpful with our bike set up First stop winery then continued to Clyde . The whole ride is just beautiful , just wanted to take it all in , finally after 47kms lunch at old post office in Clyde Then James took us back to Wanaka , from start to finish I think the best day I have had on my holiday 😊😊
