LAKE DUNSTAN DISCOVERY by eBike from Queenstown

Lake Dunstan Trail | 1 Day - Self guided 43km (Grade 2-3, Intermediate) 

>> Shuttle to Clyde | Clyde-Cromwell | Shuttle to Queenstown


Looking for an unforgettable cycling adventure through some of New Zealand’s most stunning landscapes? The Lake Dunstan Discovery offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. 

First up - a scenic drive through the Kawarau Gorge connects Queenstown to the start of the trail in Cromwell.  After a bike fitting and tour briefing, it's in the shuttle heading to the trail head at Clyde, just 20 minutes from Cromwell.

Then it's on the bike!  Cycle alongside the crystal-clear waters of Lake Dunstan, and enjoy the spectacular views of Central Otago’s rugged beauty. The Lake Dunstan Trail offers an accessible ride past vineyards, historic sites, and charming townships at either end of the trail.

SELECT Lake Dunstan Explorer - Speed Boat Transfer (9.15am from Cromwell) during checkout to experience Lake Dunstan from the water instead of a road transfer to Clyde ($100pp)


  • From Queenstown, the Kiwi Journeys shuttle provides transport to the Kiwi Journeys depot in Cromwell where a comprehensive bike fitting and tour briefing will be conducted
  • Then a quick shuttle provides a transfer from Cromwell to the Clyde 
  • Enjoy a wander around Clyde township before navigating to the start of the trail
  • On the trail, pass the Clyde Dam, a significant hydro-electric power station
  • Traverse up switchbacks and across the landmark Hugo Suspension Bridge
  • Continue along the trail as it heads towards Bannockburn, taking in majestic views of the hills and rocky outcrops along the way
