About this activity

Enjoy a 9am shuttle pick up from your hotel in Wellington. We shuttle you over the Remutakas and down to Ocean Beach in the Wairarapa (even the drive has beautiful scenery!) for 11am. You’ll be set up with a modern mountain bike / eBike specially selected and customized for these trails. These bikes come equipped with comfortable seats and grips, quality components, and a rear carrier rack with pannier unit, so you can take your personal effects without needing a bulky backpack. You'll also receive a delicious picnic lunch and bottled water, as well as, maps and safety equipment. After a quick safety briefing, your adventure will begin!

Jump on your bike and head around the coast to Orongorongo. Our staff have seen orca, dolphins and seals in this area - it's an incredible part of the country. Though beautiful and one of the highlights of the Rimutaka Cycle Trail, it can be quite rugged and not for all riders.

We will shuttle you back from Orongorongo at 4.30pm to Wellington for 5.30pm.

Distance 18km, riding time 3-5 hours, total duration 8 hours
