About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Cycle Remutaka, 612a Marine Drive The Boatshed - Days Bay, next to the wharf, Lower Hutt 5013 New Zealand
Ride the ruggedly beautiful Wild Coast track and on to Days Bay. You'll take in rugged and remote coastline with seal colonies, lighthouses and lakes, and eventually Eastbourne's beautiful bays and cafes. 39km of moderate/challenging riding.
Distance 39km, riding time 4-6 hours, total duration 9 hours.
We pick you up from your doorstep at 9am, then shuttle you over the Remutakas and down to Ocean Beach in the Wairarapa for approx 11am (even the drive has beautiful scenery!). Jump on your bike / eBike and head around the coast to Days Bay via Orongorongo. Our staff have seen orca, dolphins and seals in this area, and that's before you even get to Pencarrow's lakes and lighthouses - it's an incredible part of the country. Though beautiful and one of the highlights of the Remutaka Cycle Trail, it is quite a rugged section of the trail and very good fitness levels are required - please read trail info thoroughly before committing.
We will shuttle you back to your accommodation in Wellington from Days Bay at approx. 5.30pm, or take a ferry pass back to Wellington CBD (customer's choice).
