Around The Basin Bike Queenstown

All rides are on purpose built bike trails (off-road), and mostly easy riding (Grades 1-2), in a spectacularly scenic part of the world.  Their rides showcase the very best of the stunning Whakatipu Basin: pristine waterways and river gorges, snow -capped mountains, suspension bridges, vineyards and cellar doors, and even historic settlements.  What better way to explore the area than on a bike or E-bike?

The locally-owned and operated business are the most experienced at getting riders onto the Queenstown Trail, having operated since it first opened.  Their team of long-term locals are keen bikers themselves, so will provide heaps of knowledge to give you the best biking experience in Queenstown.  The team have also now achieved a Gold Qualmark Endorsement in recognition as one of New Zealand's leading tourism operators.  Learn the story behind the business here:
