Arrowtown to Gibbston Self Guided Bike Ride - Half Day
Highlights & inclusions
What you can expect
Experience a fun, scenic, and family-friendly ride from historic Arrowtown to the picturesque Gibbston Valley. This one-way trail winds along the Arrow River, crosses charming suspension bridges, and travels through open farmland and riverside paths, offering a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
Begin with a short scenic shuttle from Queenstown to Arrowtown, where you’ll be fitted with high-quality mountain bikes or E-bikes, helmets, and a trail map. After a safety briefing, set off at your own pace — making stops for photos, nature, or simply soaking up the scenery.
The ride covers 15 km one-way on wide, gently undulating gravel trails, making it ideal for confident riders of all ages. E-bikes are recommended for adults or older kids for extra comfort and ease. At the finish, a shuttle will bring you back to Queenstown, so there’s no need to retrace your steps.
This ride is perfect for families, couples, or groups seeking an enjoyable half-day adventure with the flexibility to explore, play, and connect with Queenstown’s stunning landscapes.
