Shuttles

In Queenstown jump on board the Kiwi Journeys shuttle to Arthurs Point, where so many of the trails that explore Queenstown start from.  There, our crew will tell you all about the trail options and conduct a bike fitting before you take to the tracks!   

From Arthurs Point, cyclists after a leisurely ride can follow the Wharehuanui Trail heading towards Arrowtown.  After a look around the historic township of Arrowtown with plenty of shops, galleries and cafes to duck into, join the Arrow River Bridges Trail heading east towards Gibbston.

If you’re more of an adventurer and like a challenge, the new Shotover Gorge Trail from Arthurs Point is for you.  With a 108m long tunnel delving into the gorge, and stunning scenery that winds along the Shotover River, this route connects easily with the Twin Rivers Trail which travels alongside both the Shotover and Kawarau Rivers towards Gibbston.

Whatever trail you choose, once you connect to the Gibbston River Trail at the Kawarau Bungy Bridge, be sure to see how many dare devils you can spot!  Along the Gibbston River Trail explore the many cellar doors of Gibbston wine country before finishing the day at Mt Rosa Wines, where the Kiwi Journeys depot is located.
