Perfect;everything went smooth - The team is just a team. From the start of my booking until the end of our trip was a great experience. Most of the time they were fully book and was excited to book the bikes and I forgot to placed my booking number. Sandra was great in managing to able to get our refund out of the discount price. When we arrived in their shop on that day,wveryone is friendly and welcoming.They were all patient to tell us how to use ebikes as a first timer user.They made us reassured that we will be fine and will enjoy the trail. Our driver -sorry we did not got her name - was great having a wee tour and telling us the history of the ladder and other things. She made us sure we will not get lost in getting back to their shop.BTW we went from Clyde to Cromwell which I will recommend too.You will not be pressured in your cycling.

Magical cycling trip - A magical cycling 6 days in Central Otago from Cromwell to Waihola. All organised by Kiwi Journey from e-bikes and accomodations. Many highlights and mentioned a few Lake Dunstan, Roxburgh George Trail and Clyde cycle trail.

Stunning Scenery and Outstanding Hosts – A Must-Do Adventure! - We recently rode the Dunstan Trail and Roxburgh Gorge in April, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The landscapes were absolutely stunning – dramatic, peaceful, and uniquely Central Otago. We completed both rides without e-bikes, and while there were a few hills, they were very manageable for the whole family. The trails are well maintained and offer a great mix of challenge and enjoyment. Our tour hosts were exceptional – informative, caring, punctual, and great communicators. The bikes provided were in excellent condition and well-suited to the terrain. We can’t recommend these rides – and the tour hosts – highly enough. If you’re looking for a scenic and well-supported cycling adventure, this is it!

excellent!! - Great bikes (complete with panniers/handlebar bags, and repair kits). Bikes beautifully maintained and actually big enough for me (a very rare rental thing). Had both 20" + 24" for our kids. As for the actual rides we did (family including 6 + 8 year olds) - gorgeous and varied. Would highly recommend!

100% Recommendation for Kiwi Journeys - Kiwi Journeys gave us a great pre ride briefing, so we felt well informed and confident. The bikes were well specked for the terrain which certainly helped the enjoyment of the day. We have used Kiwi Journeys before and would definitely use them again.

Lake Dunstan cycle trail - simply jaw dropping the whole way! - An absolutely brilliant ride along Lake Dunstan from Clyde to Cromwell. The trail is very well maintained and clearly marked. E-bikes recommended and makes the trail suitable for those with average or above cycling experience. We would recommend the Clyde to Cromwell direction is best, due to one reasonably steep descent midway. Kiwi Journey's were very helpful on this and multiple other rides we completed in Central Otage. Very friendly staff, prompt pick-ups over multiple days and very helpful in planning all our cycling adventures in Central Otago. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We will use this company again when we return. Highly recommended!

Excellent Service! - We had pre-booked bikes on-line with no hassle, user-friendly website. The staff were friendly & helpful. Gary explained the route thoroughly & made sure we were happy with our bikes & their set up. 👍 He also took us down to the jetty to meet the Dunstan Explorer as we were doing the Lake Dunstan Track from Clyde to Cromwell. Second time using KiwiJourneys & would highly recommend them.

Central Otago Trifecta - We chose a four day cycle including Dunstan, Roxburgh and Clutha Gold trails. Kiwi Journeys did a great job of organising everything from shuttles, bike hire and accommodation and really did their best to fit in around our scheduling requirements. We made our own alterations to the standard package and this was no problem for them. The trip itself was fantastic- stunning scenery, amazing trails in excellent condition and overall a seamless and stress-free adventure.
