What a wonderful day!

Would 100% recommend! Was such a nice day. I didn’t get an electric bike and I’m not skilled and managed fine!

Great day out!
We took my in-laws out, it’s was their first time in NZ, they absolutely loved it, we had an amazing day, there was enough time for a Bungy jump and two wine tastings. The view on the way there was very nice, the second part of the trail was a bit confusing but the staff were helpful

Awesome Day Out, first bike sub-standard
Great day out. Would have been 5 star, if bike was up to standard. Chain came off 5 times in the first few kms. They replaced the bike quickly, were lovely to deal with.

Hi Andrew, Nice to hear you had a great day out. It's a shame there was an issue with your bike - very rarely this can happen, even though we test ride all our bikes before issuing them out...pleased to hear it was quickly sorted for you by out team and you enjoyed the rest of your day :) Cheers Lisa, Around The Basin.
