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.

Dunstan Explorer - Amazing crew to get you fitted on bikes, took the boat back from Clyde to Cromwell after the ride. Even has enough time to get a swim in. Awesome bike ride, great views and got lots of photos and footage. Well build track when spots to take a break for lunch

Superb service, awesome rise, great pizza, my wife may have been right about the e-bike! - Great service from start to finish, including the team having a concern about our daughter’s bike so while we were on the boat to Clyde, a new bike was driven out to replace it. The ride was awesome, something for everyone, and the pizza and beer and Carrick Winery after 30km were a great reward. My wife said I should have got the e-bike, she was probably right!

Challenging but beautiful ride - Challenging but fun, beautiful ride! My husband and I are both big MTB riders, so we opted for the regular bike hire (not e-bikes). Wow, there was a lot of climbing (2200 ft, 670 m) and narrow switchbacks! We enjoyed the challenge and the gorgeous scenery but we were definitely tired by the end of the ride. We got snacks and beverages at the winery so that helped us finish the last 30 minutes or so. It was very warm (about 80° F, 27°C) so glad I brought extra water and snacks. Most people we encountered were in e-bikes so the hills were a bit easier for them!
