NEW! The Adrenaline Trail - Queenstown to Gibbston by eBike

THE ADRENALINE TRAIL

Queenstown Trail | 1 Day - Self-guided 34-37km (Grade 2-3, Easy-Intermediate) 

>> Shuttle to Arthurs Point | Arthurs Point-Gibbston | Shuttle to Queenstown

In Queenstown jump on board the Kiwi Journeys shuttle to Arthurs Point, where so many of the trails that explore Queenstown start from.  There, our crew will tell you all about the trail options and conduct a bike fitting before you embark on the first adventure of the day - a Shotover Jet ride.

This self-guided eBike tour includes Premium eBike rental and shuttles for access at either end to connect with the trails. 

From Queenstown, join a shuttle to Arthurs Point to unlock the first adrenaline rush of the day - whizzing along the Shotover River on a thrilling jet boat ride!  

The main decision to make after the Shotover Jet experience is about what trail to t explore.  From the new Shotover Gorge Trail with a 108m long tunnel delving into the gorge, you'll witness stunning scenery as it winds along the Shotover River.  Then, either connect to the Countryside Trail if journeying via Arrowtown is on the menu.  Or, from the Shotover Gorge Trail, navigate across the Queenstown basin on the Twin Rivers Trail which travels alongside the Shotover then Kawarau Rivers.

Both the Countryside and Twin River Trails connect to the Gibbston River Trail at the Kawarau Bungy Bridge - where it’s time to test your nerves on the brand new Kawarau Zipride!  Choose to upgrade to the Kawarau Bungy for the die-hard adrenaline junkies! 

Along the Gibbston River Trail thirsts can be quenched at the many cellar doors of Gibbston wine country before finishing the day at Mt Rosa Wines, where the Kiwi Journeys depot is located.
