- LKeithWalker10000Awesome ExperienceWanaka Bikes were great to deal with, from the booking, to pickup and advice from guides to the actual experience , I strongly recommend this unique experience ,highlight of our NZ holiday. It’s totally awesome.
- eph900Unguided Lake Hawea to Wanaka - Tough on my ownI wanted to do some cycling as I do cycle in the UK. I picked this trip as it said family-friendly and wasn't too tricky. But I found it tough on my own in the end. I did start with a lovely family of 4 who were also doing the trail but I quickly left them as one of the daughter's was not happy and I just wanted to get on. I got lost twice as we were not given a map just had points pointed out to us as we were driven from Wanaka to the start point in a mini bus. I tried to make a mental note but was not good enough and got lost going into Albert Town and then again right at the end! All my fault I know hence the tough on my own comment! I made it in the end though and was pleased to have done it. The terrain was bumpy but I expected that and was okay on the electric bike I hired. I did walk some of the Clutha River trail as lots of tree roots and ups and downs on a small, dusty mud trail and I lost my nerve. Was beautiful scenery though for the whole route.
- Happiness0211305587200Lake Hawea to WanakaThe customer service I’ve received from Stu was exceptional. Lots of tips on where to dine in, how to find our way and he even wait at a few checkpoints to ensure we are all ok! The only thing to keep in mind is that certain part of the path requires a little bit more technical skills
- EdH_Melbourne00Good Reliable eBikeWhile the bike was not the newest, it worked well, reliable, easy to ride and battery lasted all day. Bike was available on time. Would have liked better suspension on the rocky tracks but managed OK.
- John G00Excellent e-bikeGreat service by friendly owners. Gave good advice on cycle routes. Hired the bikes for a day. Beautiful cycle tour around the coast to Albert Town.
- TyroneMapp00Could have been better but a nice ride otu to HaweaWith a few tweaks this could have been great. The wrong bikes were brought to the pick up point, The guy was apologetic, and went off to get the e-bikes that had been requested, which hey you know everyone makes mistakes, but unfortunately the e-bike that was brought back for my partner was very old and rattled. Which is not ideal when first we had to wait for a replacement and then one of the replacements was not good by any stretch. Could also do with a few more different helmets as it was hard to find one that fitted well Overall, the service was friendly, we had a lovely ride to Hawea and back and didnt run out of battery.
- Aucklander2200Efficient serviceWe only booked our ebike hire the night before; this company ensured the ebikes and helmets were ready for us to pickup from 9am and allowed dropoff in same place outside isite area at 3.30pm. It was a surprise for us to find no locks supplied for the ebikes; they were just left unlocked on the street and we returned them unlocked. The e-bikes themselves were very good; the only issue was my handgrips were very worn which meant my palms were very sore at the end of the right; still sore 3 days later. Mostly we rode on trails so comfortable handgrips would have been good. But overall, very easy, good e-bikes for what we chose to do for the day and great service. Thank you!
- karendipper00Great fun and excellent way to see a part of Wanaka off the beaten trackLots of fun combined with stunning scenery - excellent service - really appreciated the briefing that Wayne gave us on route to lake hawea. Bikes were great and we all thought this was one if the best things we did in the area. Highly recommended
- grantjrogers00Hawea to Wanaka - Ebike rideWanaka Bike Tours, great service and advice set us up for a fantastiuc day of riding, would definitely recommend and use again
- 101JASON197300Lake Hawea TourWe found the tour was what we expected, was a beautiful ride from Lake Hawea back to Wanaka. We had an issue with the bike (Flat tyre) about 2km in. They bought a replacement bike to us. Would recommend the tour, could have been a bit better with instructions on the path to take to start with.
- Paul O00HolidayOne of the best bike tours I've been on, self guided easy 30km ride wonderful scenery and surrounding countryside, truly great. Wanaka bike tours were so easy to deal with. Thank you for a great day, created great memories

We hired e-bikes for the first time. WOW what a spectacular day out. We had a very helpful hire company - She bikes He Bikes and were well informed before we arrived.
Our bikes were adjusted to suit us and all staff were knowledgeable and helpful.
If you have some bike experience - I recommend this ride

We had a great days biking this trail. Thanks to Wanaka Bike Tours who made the whole day easy to organise with bike hire and shuttles back and forth. Knowledgeable, friendly and keen to accommodate all our needs, we would recommend them.

The scenery was lovey but the equipment failed. Firstly I was told the bike would easily get all the way. After 2/3rds way through battery dead flat and what was a relaxing bike with wife was a solo effort as she was cold waiting for me - so not a couples experience. Then when having to pedal 100% manually the chain would skip gears. Hmmmm!! Business was not interested and bookme gave a measly 4% credit on our experience. I'm only 80kg so not a huge wait. Owner of business did not seem fussed on acknowledging issue and simple pointed me to Bookme for refund. we got a 4% refund. Buyer beware, as the gear is older than some other providers.

Please get your reviews right. Your battery was fine, your on-bike computer that controls the bike generated an intermittent fault with 14kms to go. What caused that, no one knows, nor can we control that. It isn't a servicing issue. You both had the shuttle and the e-bikes, your wife completed the ride without issues, you had the last flat section of the ride to complete. Shame about the controller, the refund I processed is suitbale compensation.
As you booked via a discount ticketing site, you already had a reduce price from us, I gave you a further discount to reflect the last 14km issues you had. If you didn't get a larger refund write a rubbish review on the ticketing site you went through not here. You also complained about your wife being cold, it is Otago in winter. Not sure where that complaint can be lodged and we can't help that. I wish you all the best in your future trouble free ebike hires.

What a great ride. Wonderful track with a slight challenge. The bikes were great, easy to use for our first time using an e-bike and very comfortable. The staff were really helpful and friendly. We opted for a drop off in Cromwell and biked back to Clyde. Really enjoyed myself, it was great following the river down to the dam.

We booked this tour due to the recommendations here and were overall quite disappointed
The shuttle vehicle did not start that day which could happen anytime and the driver also was very nice however we did not even get a map or phone contact and were quite lost. Yes we could have asked for it or waited for another shuttle bus but we were already over half an hour late and wanted to make the most of that day
We did get a 10% refund for the shuttle issue
All in all we would not book it again, especially not for this high price

You were in Wanaka not Cromwell so you were supposed to do the Hawea ride, unfortunately you have reveiwed the wrong trip. (Both the The Dunstan and the Hawea Rides are amazing by the way) yes it was unfortunate the van broke down. The shuttle component was fully refunded to you. As you booked via VIATOR and not directly with us I don't know what you paid then. Their payments to us are very slow, but once we received it we jumped straight on and sorted out the refund.
You paid for a full day ebike rental at the same rates as every shop in Wanaka and a bargain at $95 each per person per day.
As you are in Germany, international money transfers incur bank fees, if you receive less that was sent speak to you bank.
I hope you find some wonderful, suitably priced rides in Germany to enjoy.
All the best
